So, without further ado, let’s lift the curtain and look at 5 different property video styles for 2020 (and beyond).
1. The slideshow compilation
This is not a video film per se, but rather a moving presentation of still images edited together with a great soundtrack, maps and titles to convey the most important details. Eye catching, memorable and punchy, done right and they draw attention:
2. The short ad property video
Ideal for social media ads and pop-up features, the 30-second overview is just the right length to grab attention and show enough to pique interest. A quick fly-through, appropriate music and you’ve got yourself some internet interest:
3. Drone aerial footage
While not suitable for every property, drones are fast becoming an amazing tool for the right locations. They can show off large outdoor areas and other surrounding features, as well as being great for location establishing shots. Here’s a property where the drone is put to great use:
4. The full overview
Usually between three and four minutes long, the full overview is a more detailed look and is the opportunity to showcase all the benefits of a location as well as the property itself. This is designed to highlight all the benefits and spark the interest in the buyer so that they want to book a physical viewing:
5. The 3D Walkthrough
