A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS




Did you know that videos tend to be 50 times easier to get ranked on the first page of Google than other content types?
Various studies in the field of cognitive science have demonstrated the superiority of appealing to the human brain through dynamic visuals which are processed 600,000 times faster than text. This means that website visitors typically read only 20 percent of the text on a page, and retain 80 percent of what they see and only 20 percent of what they read.
Various surveys have also demonstrated that ninety percent of online shoppers said they find videos helpful when making purchase decisions, and social media users are 40 percent more likely to share visual content than other types of content. And as a result, even the education sector has turned its resources towards investing in AV production strategies to better their approach to imparting knowledge and training.
The fact is that we live in a digital age, where people are constantly bombarded with an ambiance of advertising white noise. Therefore it is crucial to tailor your marketing strategies to bite-sized content tailored for their needs. And one of the most important tools you can use from your corporate utility tool belt is a corporate video. Corporate videos are the most efficient method of communicating your brand name, and business story in the most compelling way, especially to demonstrate products and services. There are various types of corporate videos as well, each one tailored to appeal to a specific niche and fulfill an objective. Videos such as:
  • Company profile video
  • Company culture & recruitment video
  • Exhibition, conference & seminar video
  • Product, service & marketing video

ENSURING OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY THROUGH EMPLOYEE AWARENESS AND SAFETY TRAINING



Occupational Safety entails the safety, health and welfare of an organization’s human resources. It is one of the key responsibilities of any organizational entity to ensure an employee’s safety and well-being.





Occupational accidents or, in the worst-case scenarios, fatalities, can adversely affect an organization’s image in society, as well as its reputation in the corporate market. For example, in the gulf, there is an increasing need for occupational safety awareness as seen in the following incidents:
•9/27/2004: Five South Asian laborers die and twelve are injured when a reinforcement cage supporting a wall collapsed during construction of the new airport terminal in Dubai. http://news.bbc.co.uk.
•7/12/2005: Two foreign workers killed and four injured in a car park facility in a tower constructed in West Bay, Doha, Qatar. http://www.op.gov.ph.
•5/29/2008: A construction worker dies after being crushed by a heavy exterior panel during construction of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. http://www.arabianbusiness.com.
•9/08/2008: Five contractors and two crew members die in a helicopter crash off the coast of Dubai on a rig that serves the Rashid oilfield. http://www.aol.co.nz.
•10/28/2008: Three workers killed and one seriously injured when a scaffold collapsed at a construction site in the Mahooz area of Manama, Bahrain. http://www.thaindian.com.
•1/03/2009: Four workers injured as a result of the formation of a gas bubble in a pipeline that they were performing maintenance on in eastern Kuwait. http://www.arabianbusiness.com.
•2/02/2009: A Nepali worker was killed when the side of an excavation collapsed at the Qatalum project in Qatar. http://www.hydro.com.
•2/03/2009: Three workers killed and one injured at UAE’s onshore Shah oilfield. http://www.arabianbusiness.com.
•10/17/2009: An Indian worker falls to his death while cleaning the windows of a tower in Isa Town, Bahrain. http://www.arabianbusiness.com.
•11/22/2009: Five workers injured when the external cover of a boiler exploded at Subiya power station in Kuwait. http://www.q8nri.com.
Therefore, a safe environment is crucial for employee retention and productivity as well as corporate reputation. Therefore it should be the utmost priority of any organization to ensure occupational safety and health, and employee awareness and safety training happens to play a pivotal role in this endeavor.



One of the many resources used in such training workshops and seminars are Safety Training Videos, which also happens to be the most effect since visual content tends to be received much better than verbal content, and they convey far more to the average human brain than plain text or audio. For example, people process visuals 600,000 times faster than text, and this is shown when website visitors typically read only 20 percent of the text on a page and people retain 80 percent of what they see and only 20 percent of what they read.
As a result, videos tend to be much more engaging at educating a workforce with bite-sized information on occupational safety regulations. In this endeavor, Studio52 has singled itself out in the video production industry as a leading producer of corporate videos on topics such as Safety Induction, Lessons Learnt, Training, Incident Re-enactment, Corporate Management Messages, Docu-Dramas as well as CGI (2D/3D) videos.

4 THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR CORPORATE VIDEO



First things first…
Corporate video is any audio-visual communication material produced by an audio-video production company to serve any corporate’s purpose such as product branding, brand image shifting, brand promotion, etc. In other countries and the UAE, corporate video production services are utilized to leverage their advantages by national to international brands in diverse industries.
Now, you must be thinking that corporate video is an amazing tool. Yes, it is, but only when its execution is amazing; otherwise, it can backfire.

Here is the list of things you should keep in mind while heading towards Best Corporate Video 2017.
  1. Sound Quality
It’s easy to forget good sound quality; it’s impossible to forget bad sound quality. Your audience will be distracted because of bad sound quality, as they will try to understand what is being said instead of understanding the message of your video or they will just quit, they won’t bother to watch entire video.
  1. Lights
It’s great to keep the lights dim or harsh, if you are shooting a movie, but if it’s a corporate video, keep the lights moderate. You might not want people to perceive your corporate video as some dramatic video; right?
  1. Script
If there is your speech in your corporate video, rehearse it well because audience certainly won’t like fillers such as ahh, ahm, a, etc. Draft a script or let someone draft it for you who understands your target audience. Don’t use jargons, unless you are sure that your target audience will understand that.
  1. Appearance
Go for funky or fashionable clothes, if you are shooting for a fashion video, but alas, you are shooting a corporate video so, don’t let your audience’s attention deviate from the core message.
