Recruitment Video - Help!?!

[jazing]

Heres one thing to keep in mind. A 10 minute video will not be watched by PNMs. They'll watch about 2 minutes or possibly shift around, but rarely will they watch the whole thing. Only a sister will watch it all. That is why you want to convey your message in a short amount of time.

I cannot believe to think both chapters with videos made such long videos.

It's different for sorority recruitment, though. PNM's may not be on the edge of their seats with excitement for ten full minutes, but it's a sorta welcome break from the endless rush small talk.

The PNMs are all sat to watch in a theater-style set up, so they usually do watch a good portion of the video.

We try to have a 'theme' that carries through so that we can group clips & pics. Idk how to describe it... I guess usually the video intro & any specifically recorded stuff (transitions between sections) fits with the "theme." It usually isn't a TV show (it hasn't been since I joined) which is why its slightly difficult.

We're a group of silly fun girls and we're trying to portray that through pictures that aren't all posed. I'm excited to see what it ends up looking like!

Thank you for the input so far!
