Elements of a Video for Non-Profit


It is known that videos are the best bet when trying to convey a message to an audience. Whether it is on the web or in person, a video can accomplish an immeasurable amount of things. Especially for not-for-profit organizations, using video is of the utmost importance because it aids them in collecting funds for their purpose. The use of video in non-profit organizations allows them to channel the emotions of those that they are helping and also allows them to express their hard work and willingness. There can be some missteps when creating a video for an audience, but take these elements into consideration when deciding to produce a web video.

First off, it is essential that your video has a story line. Without some sort of script, the purpose of the video will be unknown and the audience will be lost in what is going on. Input any information of the organization or a particular aspect into the video to give the video a story line that the audience will be able to follow. A structural approach to the video will provide the audience with an understanding of what the purpose of the video is and why it is important that it is being shown. This is what you need to be aiming for. It is all about the audience and how they will see the video.

With that being said, emotion is a huge element to include in the video. Without emotion, the message will not ring true with the audience. The video should instill an emotional response in your donors. You want your potential donors to know why they should donate and how important it is to the organization. Understanding the message is essential, but the video should drive the donors to donate funds. Create a web video that will pull on the heart strings of the audience. Emotionally connect with them. In doing so, give the video visual elements that will add to the emotional response. The more visuals they see the better the chance of a connection.

Use people in the video who know what the organization is about and that can add to the message. A professional actor is most often recommended for a video; but in this case compares the difference between a professional and someone who is a part of the organization. Many of the audience members may prefer an organization member because they have the ability to connect the purpose with the mission of the organization. Keep this comparison in mind when producing a video.

The video should end with a call to action, donating. By the time the video concludes, the audience should be in the mood to give to the organization. You want the audience to donate to the organization while they are still engaged and while the video is still in effect. Once the video has concluded, follow up with a reminder about donating to the organization. Create an unforgettable message that will keep the audience donating time after time.
