Turn your academic poster into a 3-minute video people actually watch

Description

How can I create an engaging video?

Tell a story and make it your own! These step-by-step guidelines and recommendations will assist you in creating an engaging video once your academic poster is designed.

Guidelines to script writing

Rapid storytelling structure and rules

Length: ~ 20 seconds One clear, memorable conclusion and recommendation or message

Length: ~ 30 seconds Start with a real-word anecdote, situation, question or scene. No background yet.

Length: ~ 60 to 90 seconds What you did? What you found? Provide only 1 or 2 key results.

Learning strategy based on small content units that are consumed quickly. Ideal for reinforcing concepts or learning in a flexible manner.

It involves applying game dynamics (challenges, rewards, levels) in learning environments to increase motivation and user engagement.

1. Narrative hook

3. Takeaway

2. Core

Gamification

Microlearning

Perspective: First person narration Ex: I wanted to know or We wanted to know... Rephrase and don't read the poster. Avoid jargon. Ex: Say "sea surface temperature" and not "SST anomaly"

Linear story telling (in logical order) is explicit and familiar. Want to try non-linear story flow? Try telling your story from the conclusion and directing audience on how you got there.

Out of time or ideas? Sure, you can try generating your script with AI. Just make sure these minimal rules are followed and BE CRITICAL and ETHICAL with sources of information.

Level of emotional and mental involvement of the user with the content. High engagement improves retention of information and overall course experience.

Didactic technique that proposes solving real or simulated situations to foster critical thinking and practical application of knowledge.

It is the feedback received by the user right after an activity. It helps correct errors quickly and improves understanding.

Problem-Based Learning (PBL)

Examples: Script Template

[Hook – 25 sec]Imagine [real scene].That's the problem we started with.[Core – 75 sec]We looked at [what] from [who].We found [one main result].For example, [concrete example from your data].But surprisingly, [what was missing or unexpected].[Takeaway – 20 sec]So if you remember one thing: [single sentence].That's what we learned.

Example: Zoom, podcast narrative style

Recording suggestions

Practice articulating. Respect punctuation and intonation.

Make sure you got good audio. Use a microphone with noise cancellation in a calm place.

Record without camera unless you want to. If using a camera, place just a small square on top or bottom corners of the screen. Blur your background.
