Planning your videos
This section takes you through the different types of videos we can create and gives you lots of examples, to help you decide which type of video best suits your content.
5. Lightboard
Our studio has a large lightboard, which is a special glass board that allows the lecturer to face the camera while writing illuminated text, diagrams or formulae. It is ideal for video content that would typically be taught in a classroom with annotated diagrams on a whiteboard, just like traditional ‘chalk and talk’ teaching.
Things to consider:
This lends itself to being unscripted but it shouldn't be unplanned! Have a list of key points that you'd like to cover and map out diagrams in advance, considering how the final drawing will fit on the lightboard. It is also useful to provide a verbal description of what is being drawn on the board to enhance accessibility.
