Guide to Summarizing Your Webpage into a Video

The world is moving towards videos as a preferred mode of information consumption in the wake of a shorter attention span (as much as 40% reduction). A study states that a person is 32% more likely to watch a video explaining the concept rather than read about it.


As a company proving goods and services, you’re going to be hard-pressed to stay relevant unless there are videos in your content mix. And what better way to make inland to the format than through a short vlog style video. Essentially, a vlog is nothing but a blog in video format using various graphical elements at its disposal. Such elements include but are not limited to graphs, stock images, supers, background music, templates, etc.


The charm of a vlog lies in the fact that it appeals to one’s visual senses and triggers a stimulus that engages our brain and initiates connections that make us remember the detail.


That said, here’s a guide to converting your webpage into a 1-minute summary video –

  1. Scrutinize the webpage: The webpage you wish to convert into a video should have certain pre-requisites to qualify for the conversion. One, it should have a reasonably clear subject matter. Two, the subject matter should have a defined beginning, middle body, and end. These points, though not mandatory, greatly elevate the flow and quality of the subsequent vlog.
  2. Prepare a script: Converting a webpage into a script is the most crucial step in this process. Ideally, the script should lie anywhere between one-third to one-fourth of the entire subject matter, almost like a precis. A compact script not only provides a direction to the video but also leaves room for the graphical representation of data.

  3. Do the dry run: Once the script is finalized, next comes the dry run which is essential to determine the length of a video, identify and eliminate weak spots that need tighter delivery, and overall get a look and feel of the vlog.

  4. Final Shoot and Editing: The final leg of the process is culminated into the shooting process and editing the footage to make it into engaging and value-driven collateral. Editing is what adds the X-factor to the video. Sprucing up the content with flow charts, connective images and callouts greatly adds to the appeal of the video, as demonstrated in our recent vlog below.
