Visualization

Challenge and Selection

I am a content developer in which I develop study materials for kids from class 5th to 12th.  Basically, the final product is a type of an animated video where I am the narrator and the  videos are based on the script that I write. I joined the company few months back and I was not  experienced in the teaching field. Following the process of script writing to the final video was  a tough job. So, the process is that, after I write the script, I have a conversation with the editors  of my company who makes the video. Earlier I had a hard time in making them understand  verbally what I want in my final video. Finally, visualization tool came to the rescue. This tool  helps me in conveying my needs to the editors very easily. I have used various flowcharts,  diagrammatic representation, basically a 2D form of the video.

Application

Once I was having a conversation with my editor regarding a video to be made about  digestive system. I made him understand the script that I wrote and the stepwise output that I  desire. He said that he understood but somehow, I was feeling that he didn’t. Well, I waited  for the final video. Next day I saw the video and it was not at all understandable, there was no  link between concepts and I myself had hard time in understanding the concept which was  taught by me only. Then I thought that there is some communication gap between me and my  editors because the editors where all skilled up and they did exactly what was told to them.  This process continued for many videos and I was not satisfied with any of them. Even the  feedbacks from the kids for these published videos were bad. I watched the video of  ‘digestive system’ again and immediately understood that there is a complete communication  gap between me and my editors.

Well, after attending the course I thought of applying the visualization tool. I started  considering editors as my first customer than the kids so that if they understand properly, then  a better version of the video could be made, and the kids will eventually start loving the  videos.

So, next day I sat with the editor and made various flow charts making him understand what I  want. I drew various diagrams, provided him various pictures. Below is the first page of the  visualization that I used to make him understand:

While making him understand even I got various ideas to present my video in different ways.  So, for me visualization tool has many benefits. First, it makes people understand better what  you want to convey and gives you various new ideas to deal with the problem.

Insights and Approach

Well, what an output it was when I saw the video. It reflected exactly what I wanted in my  video and moreover had elements that gave a wow factor to the video. The editors could also  add their creativity as they also understood what the concept is about as I made them  visualize the concepts.

Now, my company has a separate process in between script writing and final video making.  The step is called storyboarding. We make a 2D form of the video that is to be made from a  simple written textual script. We have discussions on the storyboard and then based on that  the editors make the video.

This tool has made the videos very lively and creative. The best part about it is the feedback  that we get from the kids. They love the videos and I am very thankful to this course as it  helped me in giving my best to the company and prosper better.

In future, I will likely use this visualization tool from a student’s perspective of the concepts  that I create so that I can understand better what my customers want.
