Education can almost work better than marketing at times. The writing of a script is extremely important as well as, what type of medium the script will work for. A video is nice, but difficulties begin when there are divisions of technical depth in the information. How to present this information has become easier as web technologies have grown.

I have been doing this type of dissemination work for more than 20 years and know it inside and out. The most expensive part is the graphics, editing, script and technology. You must understand this is a time consuming project, which requires participation by more than just one person.

If you break down all the parts of this project and set them into small containers of information, then write a script that is for both technical and lay person audiences, you will be able to interest a larger portion of the public. Educate, or grow the knowledge of the student, so you create threads that an increase in perception and understanding.

Outline a visual plan
——-Lay person— Educate on the basics-
——— general knowledge of how it works
—– Overviews
—– Relation to cosmology
—– General technical High school level
|
|
—– intermediate person —–they comprehend the concepts but may not want to learn the advanced
math (maybe later)
— Some understanding of the math involved and how it relates to DPF and
the experiment
|

—-Advanced Phd level Understanding
—– math, physics — go wild with details

You connect the information and videos through graphic screens that give people an option to learn a detail, such as definitions. It all starts with an outline, goals and a script. Shooting a video without these does nothing to promote or educate. You will lose your audience by the click of a button.

Lastly, If you do not create a “Story” That follows the logic of the Book:”Made to Stick” Then it will become a bunch of technical Crap know one will ever remember or care about. That would be a huge waste of time and energy.
