a narrated presentation

Video presentations for consultants

Use a narrated presentation to explain the shape of a proposed engagement.

Explain the decision the presentation should help someone make.

The footage to gather

The starting issue

The decision the client will be able to make

Give each moment a little breathing room. Get close enough to show the detail, and keep the original clips handy.

Plan a narrated presentation

Opening

Explain the decision the presentation should help someone make.

Middle

Give each scene one supporting point and keep charts, dates and labels readable.

Ending

Summarise the trade-off and identify the next decision owner.

Review it for consultants

Do not present a sample project as a completed client result.

Ask yourself: Would the argument still make sense without decorative visuals?

Watch it as if you were seeing it for the first time. If something is unclear, try a different cut or add the missing shot.
