Do you want to shoot professional videos for your participants but have concerns about delivering your text perfectly in front of the camera? A cheat sheet for the video shoot can help you. We explain what to consider with the cheat sheet and provide you with a checklist with simple examples.

More confidence in front of the camera

Are you considering shooting your own videos for your training or coaching? Good idea! Videos are as popular as ever: as a personal video message, explanatory video, or instruction, videos are a valuable aid in further education.

In principle, it’s not difficult to shoot videos yourself. You need a smartphone, maybe some equipment, and a good concept for your video. Then all that's left is the recording. But here comes the uncertainty: as a trainer or coach, speaking in front of people is no problem. But in front of a camera, it is still something entirely different...

If you’re unsure of speaking freely in front of the camera, we have the solution for you: a small cheat sheet that summarizes the most important information very briefly. This helps you remember everything, and relaxes you to speak freely.

Relaxed video shoot thanks to the cheat sheet

The following checklist helps you quickly draft a good cheat sheet:

• Not too big! About the size between DIN A5 and DIN A6 is ideal.

• Not too long! Write down only 3-5 important points

• Good start! Articulate the first sentence of your video so you can start without stumbling

• Keep it short! Note the remaining points in bullet points.

• Clear focus! Focus your content on one central learning point

The cheat sheet for your video shoot can look very different. The main thing is that the content is brief, focused, and helps you speak freely.
