Education Video Excellence

Educational video content, especially short, focused videos, plays a crucial role in enhancing student engagement and comprehension. These multimedia tools make learning interactive and visually stimulating, leading to better retention of information. Studies indicate a significant increase in engagement, with a 24.7% rise in video viewing time and a 9.0% improvement in exam scores. This data highlights the impact of educational videos on learning efficacy.

Thinktank specialises in creating bespoke educational videos that engage and inform, using a blend of structured, original narratives along with educational rigour, ideal for schools, colleges, and universities aiming to enhance their learning experience.

For curriculum-aligned educational videos, the integration of accurate educational content with engaging visuals is key. These videos should augment the curriculum, making complex topics accessible and interesting for students. Academic research underscores the importance of video in deepening learning and facilitating classroom discussions. This makes them an invaluable tool for enhancing educational delivery.

Video production services are pivotal in showcasing campus facilities and student life, offering a dynamic and immersive view that brochures and photos cannot match.

The use of video for campus showcases has become increasingly important for student recruitment, offering prospective students a glimpse into life at the institution. Thinktank excels in creating engaging campus showcase videos, highlighting the vibrancy and facilities of educational institutions, which is crucial for attracting new learners and staff in today’s competitive educational landscape.

Videos are an excellent resource for faculty development and teacher training, offering visual and interactive mediums for professional growth.

In remote learning, video content must be accessible, engaging, and tailored to suit diverse learning styles. Videos provide a flexible and effective way for students to learn at their own pace.

To cater to a diverse student body, educational videos should include inclusive content and be relatable to students from various backgrounds. This includes using examples and teaching styles that resonate with a broad audience. Videos should aim to make learning accessible and engaging for all students, regardless of their learning preferences or backgrounds.

Thinktank focuses on creating inclusive and diverse educational videos, ensuring content is relatable and engaging for a wide student demographic, essential for schools and universities seeking to cater to all learners.

The effectiveness of educational videos can be gauged by their impact on student engagement and knowledge retention. Feedback from students and educators provides valuable insights into the videos' effectiveness. Video analytics offer data on student interactions with the content, such as view counts and watch time, which are key indicators of their engagement and learning progress.

Thinktank employs these measures to ensure its educational videos are not just visually appealing but also effective in meeting learning objectives. Our focus is on creating content that resonates with students and supports educators in schools and universities, ensuring a measurable impact on the learning process.

When producing educational videos, it’s crucial to adhere to legal and ethical standards, including copyright compliance, privacy, and content appropriateness. This ensures the videos are suitable for the intended educational audience. Respecting intellectual property and using licensed or original content are essential to avoid copyright issues, making sure educational materials are legally sound.

Thinktank is committed to upholding legal and ethical standards in video production. Our content is not only compliant with legal requirements and aligns with the ethical values of educational institutions, making it a trustworthy choice for schools, colleges, and universities.

Special education video production must consider diverse learning needs, providing accessible and engaging content.

Videos play a key role in building collaboration and partnerships in education, showcasing institutional strengths and achievements. They serve as a tool for outreach, presenting opportunities for joint ventures and shared initiatives. Video content enables educational institutions to visually communicate their offerings and successes, appealing to potential partners and collaborators.

An Education Video is a production made for an educational establishment such as a school, college or university. Or, one made for an alternative education provider.

The secret to making a successful video for educational organisations is being able to provide creative excellence alongside the ability to work in partnership with the key decision makers and stakeholders across the organisation. Education differs markedly to other industries in the tone of delivery and the need to reflect the culture, ethos and values within every video production made for educational clients.

Thinktank Education Sector video team works flexibly with clients. The typical video production will follow a development pathway like the one below:

Scoping: Thinktank works with the academic establishment to review, or help to establish the optimal project scope of works for the new video production. A fully costed proposal is submitted for sign-off along with key milestones and timescales.

Approval and acceptance of deliverables: Our education sector team will begin working with you and your designated partners and stakeholders on project approval. We will help manage the production process and communicate clearly what we need to accomplish in order to meet the schedule. Our aim is to actively engage all key members of the decision making process in a way which helps maintain a positive focus on getting the best video production possible.

Filming: We need to be sure that approvals are obtained, where applicable, from all participants involved with the production so that everything runs smoothly. We work diligently to capture the atmosphere, the vibe and everything that is good about your school, college or university during filming. Once we've captured what we need we're straight into the edit stage, so that we can turn around

First Cut and Amendments: Our first cut always includes the best footage that we have captured, edited in a way that produces the best education video to promote your organisation. We understand that you may wish to make amendments and generally, a specified level of amendments are included within your production fee. Any additional amendment or, those outside of the original scope of works are approved prior to carrying out the work, so that you're always in fully control of your film budget.

Final Film Delivery: Your video will be output and delivered in the pre-agreed format(s) and resolutions.

Whilst we are experienced with working with people of all ages, including vulnerable children and adults, our preference is to ensure that a chaperone is always present when working with any vulnerable person or young person under the age of 18. We work in a professional and ethical manner and as an organisation we are positive about disabilities and embrace inclusion and equalities. We promote diversity and our senior team have first-hand experience of being parents, guardians and carers for individuals living with lifelong physical and learning disabilities. So, as an organisation we fully embrace inclusivity and treat everyone with respect and compassion.

Thinktank primarily makes education videos across the UK, however, our educational work has been made across Europe, The Middle East. Africa and Asia. Thinktank is a local company with a global reach and that's why we've made award-winning education videos throughout the world.
