What types of video formats are trending?
• Short videos continue to dominate all platforms: The most suitable duration for a short video is between 10 to 20 seconds. There is no clear time limit for their duration, as different platforms have their restrictions or policies. On social media applications like Instagram, Facebook, etc., most videos last 10 or 20 seconds. However, for web video platforms like YouTube, there is no limit to video duration, and short videos can range from three to five minutes or even longer. A clear example of the trend for this type of video is Reels and Stories. You can use these videos to showcase product expectations, explain a service, and more.
• Educational videos and online training videos continue to grow in acceptance and popularity. If you’re part of an educational school or academy, you can create this type of format. In general, the idea is to share small, mostly casual and spontaneous clips without major concerns about framing or lighting.
• Brand videos: Brand videos are typically part of a larger marketing campaign. They showcase the company’s vision on a larger scale, portray the mission and values of the company, as well as the products and services in a detailed manner.
• Explainer videos: This type of video helps your audience understand why your service or product solves their problems or meets their needs. These videos often depict a fictional journey of the buyer persona, showcasing the problem they face and how they overcome it with the solution offered by your company.
• Animated videos: At Salinashooting, we believe that animated videos can help you convey a more impactful message, especially when illustrating complex concepts and facilitating understanding.
• Testimonial or success story videos: Testimonials from satisfied customers serve to build trust in your brand among other users, as they can access positive experiences shared by others. Don’t underestimate the importance of these videos, as word-of-mouth advertising is highly effective and can be a powerful tool in digital marketing. If you want to include testimonials, ask your customers to help you record a brief comment about your brand’s products or services.
