Viral videos are incredibly powerful communication tools. They can capture the imagination and ignite a conversation about your brand or product, or they can be devastatingly ineffective. If you haven’t heard of the term “viral marketing” before, you may have seen it in action without fully understanding what you were seeing. Viral marketing is when an ordinary piece of content is passed from person to person until it spreads like wildfire. The best way to avoid getting stuck with an ineffective video that doesn’t get noticed is by following some simple principles first. Here are 5 helpful tips on how to create a successful Bible reading video:
A good video is the result of preparation and research
Bible reading videos work best when they are based on research and preparation. The best way to start is by locating a Bible passage that speaks to your topic or topic of the video. Once you have your passage, find a Bible verse that best illustrates your point. This is a great way to avoid being too general and missing the mark on your message. Once you have your quotation and topic, you can start researching your video’s visuals and audio. You want your video to be accurate and meaningful, so you’ll want to check the translation and make sure the visuals you’re using are accurate and comprehensible. Next, you’ll want to look into the audio. Some Bible reading videos use canned audio, but you’ll want to use real people who are speaking the passage. You can use a professional audio library or you can get audio from a friend who has recorded a Bible reading. You can also use the tools available to create your own audio. A well-made video will have a clear story and message. If possible, you’ll also want to include some visuals. You can find images online or create your own. Make sure they are relevant to your topic and visually explain your Bible reading.
The script is the most important part of the process
Beyond researching and preparing your script, you’ll want to focus on the script itself. You don’t want to just state your script out loud and then film yourself reading the words. You want to script the entire video so it flows naturally in a specific order. You can use any type of script, paper or digital, but if you want your reading to be natural, then you’ll want to use the software that allows you to script the video and audio. The first thing you’ll want to do is structure your script. In any type of script, you’ll want to begin with an introduction, state what you’ll be talking about, and finish with a conclusion. The beginning of your script should include reference to where you are in the Bible and what chapter or verses you are talking about. The next part of your script should be a summary of your points. You don’t have to read through your entire script, but you do want to summarize your points so the video feels more natural. This is a great time to include any call to action or social media links. You also want to include any notes or annotations you want to include.
Audio plays an important role in any video
Bible reading videos work best when they include real people reading the Bible. This takes some careful planning, but it’s worth it. You want to find professional voice actors and actresses who can read the passage and sound authentic. The best way to find voice actors is to search online voice talent sites or, in some cases, to search through auditions on social media sites like Facebook. Once you have your voices, you’ll want to record the audio. You can do this on-site or you can use a digital audio recorder like an Adobe AIR. The last thing you’ll want to do is edit your audio. You don’t have to edit your audio to a professional level, but you do want to clean it up and make sure it sounds natural and authentic. When it comes to audio editing, you’ll want to make sure your audio has some length to it. When you’re recording your audio, you want to make certain you have enough room for the words to flow naturally. You should also make certain your audio has some volume to it. You don’t want your audio to be so quiet that it sounds unnatural.
Stay consistent with your brand voice and feel
While it’s best to use a script, you also want to make sure you are consistent with your brand voice and feel throughout your Bible reading video. If you don’t feel natural while recording your audio, it will come across as awkward and off-putting. You’ll want to make certain the tone of your audio is consistent with your brand’s voice and feel. This means, for example, that if you’re developing a video about creationism, you’ll want to make certain your audio is consistent with this belief. If you are creating a Bible reading video about a particular topic, you’ll also want to make certain your visual choices are consistent with this topic. For example, if you’re creating a Bible reading video about grief, you’ll want to make certain the visual choices for your visual are consistent with this topic.
Include a call to action at the end of your video
When it comes to Bible reading videos, you want to make certain you include a call to action at the end of your video. This is when you want to make sure you let your viewers know what they can do next. For example, if you are creating a Bible reading video about grief, you’ll want to make certain you include a call to action at the end of your video. This could be anything from inviting your viewers to join your Facebook group to encouraging your viewers to create a blog post about their grief. Making these adjustments will help you create a successful Bible reading video. They aren’t difficult or complicated, but they do require a bit of effort and careful thought.
