I will be speaking at a special session of the TC Symposium 2014 (hosted by the Technical Communicators Association) on Tuesday, August 26, 2014.

This is the practical edition of the "Beginner's Video Manual" that was well received at last year's TC Symposium.

Words to See and Words to Hear in Video Manual Creation
~ Practical Scenario Writing Edition ~

Purpose of the Lecture: Learn effective use of subtitles and narration in video manuals.
Last year's session "Introduction to Video Manuals" explained the basic concepts and a series of processes for creating video manuals.
This time, we will have a more practical session on creating video manuals.

Key Points of the Lecture: Videos are composed of various elements such as images, movement, subtitles, and narration,
and to use each element effectively, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the elements and distribute the information appropriately.
In particular, issues such as elongation or excessive inclusion leading to blurriness are likely to occur with subtitles and narration.
This will explain how to use subtitles and narration in a balanced and more effective way, while addressing the concerns faced in the production field.

Flow of the Lecture: 1. Information conveyed through images and information conveyed through words
2. The difference between visual words (subtitles) and spoken words (narration)
3. Workshop 1
4. Effective subtitles
5. Effective narration
6. Workshop 2
7. Differences due to tools and environment
8. How to create videos that can be deployed in multiple languages
