1. Plan your video with a Project Brief
When preparing for the shooting, you need to define the purpose of, style of, and audience for your videos. These points should be included in a project brief, a document outlining the key expectations and specifications for the final product. This will help you stay on track, keep the goals of the video shoot top of mind, and ensure that everyone working on the video shoot stays on the same page.
A Project Brief should include:
Small group interview with a curtain backdrop
2. Write a Script
 |
It is always best to prepare what you will say in advance, unless you intentionally plan to improvise while shooting. Your script should be easy to follow and understand. Creating storyboards with scripts could help you to visualize your idea of the video presentation and plan the length for each shot. |
3. Prepare your presentation

Pro Tips!
Copyright and Fair Dealing
The University respects copyright and other intellectual property rights as enforced in Hong Kong and urges its staff and students to do its best to comply with the applicable copyright laws, regulations and guidelines, and suggest precautionary measures. You may refer to the Guideline for Using Copyright Materials in Learning and Teaching at PolyU for more details.
In Hong Kong, there are some exceptions in the Copyright Ordinance, such as fair dealing, that allow some copying for educational establishments. There are no prescribed percentages on what can be copied; however, this is not a blanket license to copy. Educational establishments are permitted to copy by a teacher or a student to a reasonable extent artistic works or passages from published literary, dramatic, or musical works, or recording of broadcast or cable programmes, in a fair manner for the purposes of giving or receiving instruction.
To enjoy “fair dealing” exemption, you must properly acknowledge the title and authorship of the work and deal with the work in a fair manner. Examples of what would be considered fair or unfair for dealing with a copyrighted work can be found here.
Creative Commons (CC) Licenses
You can share your work by licensing it using a Creative Commons license. According to the website of Creative Commons, the current copyright law that was created long before the emergence of the Internet has laid down restrictive rules that stifle the use of your work on the network that we take for granted such as copy, paste, edit source and post to the web. Creative Commons is “a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws.” Under this scheme, an author can choose amongst 6 different CC licenses to indicate under what conditions people can use their works.
The Digital Creativity Workstations located at Multimedia Commons (MC) in North Wing 3/F are installed with the following software for audio and video editing:
