While presenting a collaborator on video is much more effective than in writing, you still need to choose the right format! Don't panic, we offer you three that you can use to present your employees.
Upstream work?
If you want to make your presentation videos, however, you need a bit of preparation. To begin with, you will have to play the role of a screenwriter. You have to plan a bit of preparatory work in order to make a superb video!
So start by listing What you want to say facing the camera. Break down your arguments into different parts to properly structure your video. This will serve to change the plan, thus making it possible to give a maximum of information in a minimum of time.
And then?
Then you have to choose your shooting location and find all accessories necessary for the production of your video. Once your type of video has been chosen, the choice of shooting location will be natural. As soon as this place has been found, it will be necessary gather your equipment. If you don't know what to take, Rémi explains everything in his video about the pre-shooting checklist.
From then on, you can start shooting your video using these three following formats:
One video for two uses
As a first idea, you can start with a classic presentation. If you think that this is not very original, think again! Just doing it on video proves the opposite. Many companies only send a simple email to announce the arrival of future employees. By making your presentation video, you you introduce yourself more easily to your colleagues.
Take our dear Yannis as an example. Our account manager oriented his video for two purposes. On the one hand, an internal objective namely, presenting himself in front of his colleagues and telling why he joined his company. However, note that he adds a personal element at the end of the video to open up to his colleagues. On the other hand, an external objective since he introduces the company and leaves his contact details at the end of the video. He can then broadcast it on his social networks to be able to have potential appointments!
Using your acting skills
If the first format was too “basic” for your taste, you can go for that one. If you are a fan of YouTube videos, you will surely recognize the acting of our consultant Théophile! The latter decided toUse a humorous tone to show your good humor and introduce yourself in an innovative way into the company.
And if the YouTuber soul isn't in your genes, you can always be resourceful. Like Rewan did In his video, Get help by another person in order to carry out off-field plans. A ball throw that can be used as a transition or even the use of colors... many possibilities are available to you. Take inspiration from our article on transitions that Boris explains to you.

By doing a Fast and Curious
The last effective video format is to Make a Fast and Curious. If you don't know what it is, it's a matter of choosing an answer from two proposed words. For example “Seaside Vacations or Ski Vacations.” It is a format that is very popular on the web because of its ease of use and its endless use.
To show you an example, Léa, our marketing intern, made her presentation video using this model. The advantage of this format is that you can also use it to make employee interviews other than presentation videos. This can be during events, or if you want to raise awareness on a subject.
And to make them happen?
You can always choose to use production agencies to make your presentation videos. However, this will be expensive and your videos will only be available several weeks after shooting them. However, you want to publish them the same day when your new collaborators arrive.
That's where The EasyMovie solution makes things easy for you. All you have to do is Shoot your videos using your smartphone and by following the storyboards on your screen. Once your plans are complete, you can instantly broadcast your videos to your networks both internally and externally.
