Business author and consultant Jonathan Halls believes a successful instructional video is one that makes the viewer confident enough to put the information to use.
This requires asking yourself what the learner needs to do and know.
Creating a storyboard and script ahead of time for any tutorial video is recommended.
In addition, a “responsibility map” can be used to make sure everyone knows his or her role.
Moreover, the 40:20:40 rule suggests that 40% of the time should be allocated to planning, 20% to shooting the video footage, and 40% to video editing.
Repetition is key to success as it shifts information from the learner’s short-term memory to their long-term memory. Handouts can be used to reinforce the video’s teachings.

Plan to spend 40% of your time planning your video, 20% filming it, and 40% editing.
“In other words, a good instructional video should be memorable enough that the watcher can confidently put that information into place.”
