20 Apr Preparing for a Professional Live Stream on YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch & More
In this second part of our video series on live streaming, we discuss the different questions that we will need answered so that the live stream can be perfectly prepared and smoothly operated. Here we go!
Preparing for a Professional Live Stream
In this video, we talk about the agenda, script, graphics, effects, video and graphic/powerpoint slides and assets, call ins and more! First, check out the video!
The Professional Podcast and Livestream Look and Feel
A great live stream, podcast, video recording and video communication can be easy to do, but as you can see very difficult to prepare for. As we consider our projects, we look carefully at our goals, platform and approach, as well as the following critical elements:
- The Agenda
- The Script
- Graphic Elements
- Transitions and Stingers
- Number of Cameras and Angles
- Number of Speakers and Microphones
- Slides
- Teleprompter Requirements
- Set Design
- Lighting
- and More!
In other words, the simple livestream can be simple, or actually quite complicated. With that said, we hope that this video offers some ideas for your consideration. Certainly let us know if we can help!
