Corporate brands have discovered that online video is compelling and a great way to engage with their audience/customers. Kraft launched a Cooking Video Challenge that gave people a reason to engage with the Kraft brand. Cooking aficionados were asked to choose one of Kraft’s recipes and then create a video of themselves preparing the dish.
Video storytelling at its worst can be pedestrian and uninventive.

When shooting and editing your video, consider how other elements such as audio and various framing techniques can be used to enhance the story or send a message to the viewer.
We are all storytellers. Determine the story it is you want to tell.
