Getting Attention and Video Engagement

Episode 202: This episode was recorded October 13, 2024 and published October 15, 2024.

The time you have to get the attention of someone who watches your video depends on a lot of things.

In this episode, I’m going to share a trick I learned in video production and a tool I use from my journalism writing class, which I use for all my videos and other media projects. I share a bunch of insights with you!

I use the Five W’S: Who, What, When, Where and Why to decide if I only have 4 seconds or a bit longer at the start of the video to capture the viewer's attention before they move on.
