There are no completley cut and dry formulas for 60 second videos. It depends on the type of video and the audience you are shooting for.  For your Church videos, since they are instructional and informative... this may work: 1. 0- 10 sec. Hit the viewer up with an attention grabbing question or invitation to think about a new concept or idea. And then let the viewer know you the video will work to answer that question or finish that thought.  2. 10 -25 present a well known or relatable problem that exists in example form, or something the viewer is struggling with themselves. You could explain why it is an issue. This will draw the viewer further into your message.. 3. 25 - 40 Present the solution, or how what you are proposing can make a difference positively.  4. 40 - 55 give the benefit of the solution you just presented 5. 55- 60 (or so) make your call to action Hope that helps!  Chris,

I am working on a few short videos for my church- informational videos to grow awareness within the community, what we're up to, etc. These points are going to come in very handy when filming/editing begins. Quick question though- is there a 'standard format' to a good 60 second video? For example, how long do you recommend for the intro, and various phases of the video? Thanks for the awesome article!

I know the post is a year old, but I will be using these ideas for my blog.

This really puts a grate deal of things into perspective. So many people tend to gravitate toward doing the "big bang" theory rather than keeping it classic and allowing who you are to completely shine through. Hearing and looking at too much tends to be a distraction to the message that is truly trying to get through!
