INSTRUCTIONAL videos

Show viewers how a task or process is carried out, in as much detail as you need. Videos like these demonstrate each step in a clear and concise manner, to inform viewers or teach them how the process works.

Show viewers how it’s done!

A well-crafted instructional video helps to inform and up-skill viewers, with additional knowledge covering the specifics of a process. They can be used for training and education of customers, staff or students. Most instructional videos are structured in a similar way, but may have slightly different goals, such as:

  • Demonstration: Conveys how something is done by filming someone who is already able to do so.
  • Explanation: Describes a theory, concept, process or task with reasoning to help viewers understand.
  • Instruction, Tutorial or Training: Step-by-step guidance to help someone learn how to perform a task.

Case Study: How to use the Litter Stopper App

BeachPatrol (BP) and Love Our Streets (LOS) have developed the Litter Stopper phone application that supports groups and individuals to collect data about litter and share it accurately and effortlessly with other interested parties to influence policy makers and ultimately protect the environment we all live in. By providing a recording method, users will develop a better understanding of the litter situation, what needs to be done and why they should care. Anyone can use it, they just need an email address to receive their data sent back to them.
