Use the following example videos to help you create your own. Remember when creating your own videos:
- Always start your video showing the face of the person and saying their name
- Keep them under 3 mins at most (As short as possible is always better)
- Keep them to a specific task
- Make you have on the correct PPE when doing specific tasks
- If you make a mistake do not worry, just mention it, correct it and move on
- Have a little fun doing them, we don’t need Brad Pitt we need you to simply tell us what you are doing to do and how you are going to do it.
