Take one of the questions in the In Essence book or any question you feel people would be interested in. Then produce a reel of forty-five seconds (maximum!) where you answer that. Follow the tips below to make your reel the best it can be!
HOOK - Start with something attention-grabbing — a bold statement, surprising visual, quick movement, or on-screen text that sparks curiosity.
OUTDOORS / GOOD Light – film your reel where there is good light and a beautiful / interesting background
BE PERSONAL / INTERESTING – be creative in how you answer – humour, unexpected things, nice quotes
MESSAGE – try to have an empowering or interesting message from the video
SMILE & SPEAK CLEARLY – make your reel upbeat and clear
Logistical Points:
- Tell us your question at the beginning and then go straight into an answer!
- Don’t worry about adding audio / video / captions (ensure clarity in your speech, quiet space for best audio output, good lighting (light source/window facing you avoid having light source behind you)
- Always record vertically to fill the screen
- We may give you some feedback to improve your reel
- Let us know if you are happy for it to be edited and posted on the WTB Instagram Page
