viral video & shorts
Viral video and shorts can be used to drive traffic to a website, to create interest in a product, for marketing purposes, as content around which a site can be built, and in countless additional ways. The idea is VIRAL VIDEO, meaning the videos will be spread across the internet from person-to-person via email, internet message boards, social networking and bookmarking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and others. These can be funny, informative, dramatic, or any other combination of moods. The idea is to create videos interesting enough that others will promote them for you, providing ongoing value for your video production.
As you can see, there are really no rules with how these can be created. These can start with as much direction as a complete idea with a specific voiceover script, or as little as "I'd like a funny video related to fishing and the economy," like the below video did:
Viral videos can include any combination of:
- Music
- Actors of all types
- Scripted or unscripted components
- Dialog
- Animation & graphics
- Voiceover
