crowDsourced

A completely unscripted approach to video storytelling that charges students with gathering their own personal footage – guided by specific instruction.
That footage is then carefully crafted into a video montage that delivers a personal narrative capturing the heart and body of the college experience. These are also a great example of creating both a short and long version to utilize on varying platforms.

SCRIPTED

Scripted, program-specific videos outlining the basics of a course of study or specific school program – all accentuated by B-roll.
These videos are a good example of a short pieces functioning as a set of "chapters" to communicate information, as well as utilizing an even shorter "teaser" version as an initial call-to-action to drive to those longer videos via social or email .

TEXT-based

A short video employing text, stats, or figures in a visually appealing format. The strength of using aerials or video backgrounds shows off campus as well.
Text videos communicate key information students and families are actively seeking out and are especially useful via email and advertising on various social platforms.

outside-the-box

Sometimes a traditional video doesn't fit the needs, goals, budgets, timelines, or external constraints. 
The COVID-19 crisis created unique challenges for prospective students visiting college campuses, so videos like this one created for Gonzaga helped bring the college experience to viewers.
