Five Tips for Making Better Videos for Doctors

Secrets for making your doctor and dentist videos more watchable!

Making your Doctor and Dentist Videos Watchable

Videos can tell a story and evoke emotion – if done right!

For Doctors who want to connect at a more personal level with new patients, a well-made video can make that happen. Whether it is you, the doctor, telling about what you love about being a doctor, or testimonials from your past patients telling how you make them feel comfortable and at ease, video conveys the feelings and emotions in a way that nothing else will!

In order to catch people’s attention, however, not just any video will do!

Here are FIVE QUICK TIPS:

BE FOCUSED – Your video needs to get to the point immediately. Lead with your best stuff – no long boring introductions, please! People have short attention spans and will click away if they aren’t drawn in right away.

BE REAL – You and your patients should emote – no scripts or stiff reciting of memorized wording. It must be real, authentic, and conversational. A word of caution – unless you are extremely good in front of a camera make sure this is edited for maximum impact. MOST PEOPLE AREN’T so hire a professional to interview you and your patients to get the best soundbites possible.

BE BRIEF – Not only should you get to the point from the start, but get to your “Grand Finale” as soon as possible. Shorter is generally better. If people see that the video is 5 minutes they may tune out before even giving you a chance.

BE MEANINGFUL – Say something that your viewer gives a damn about! Either answer a burning question, entertain them, or inspire them in a personal way. If they don’t care what you are talking about they will tune out right away.

BE SMART – Don’t do this yourself unless you happen to have a background in video storytelling. Your expertise is medical. You wouldn’t recommend that a video producer perform their own diagnosis or procedure. So why would you think that making compelling videos is something that just anyone can do??? Don’t skimp on quality here. Some people think having any old video is better than no video. WRONG! Bad video is just plain, bad. Better not to have a video than a bad or boring one!

All the Best! And happy video making!
