YouTube Thursdays - Organize with Outlines and Storyboards
We shared our thoughts about niche video marketing last week. This week, we are sharing a rough outline with you for our Multi-Generational Housing niche. Akin to a storyboard with illustrations, camera angles, etc, this outline is always the first step of our video production process.
If you're also working on a niche video to share with potential clients, we recommend an outline to get things started. The final product may change and once we do the actual filming, it may change again. Don't ever be afraid to let things unfold organically. Go with the flow!
Here's our intial outline. Remember, we are going for the emotional hook (authentically) and the benefits of sharing a household. Both are triggers for our target demographics - baby boomers. Once again, this will likely be refined as we create the video.
Together Again - Our Multi-generational Home
Open - Montage of family scenes
Narration:
Our situation is a bit different in that we are two sisters, who with our husbands, decided to move in together to share in the care of mom and dad.
Dad is gone now, and we have shifted all of the focus on mom.

Getting her to and from appointments and making sure she gets exercise, social interaction, and healthy food.
(Photos - video. Scenes of car leaving with mom, visiting, exercise class?) and eating a healthy meal.)
Narration:
Nearly four years later, we’ve discovered there are a lot of benefits to sharing life under one roof.

Narration:
Sure, it’s great to share expenses, but it’s much more than that…

However, it's important to note, we need our privacy too…
