Following up from my last blog post, How to Evaluate the effectiveness of a Training video, I though it best to show a safety training video that’s well, crap!
This is quite an extraodinary example of how to not make a training video.
It’s more of a horror health and safety movie that focuses on educating through fear.
It does this through lots of gore, fake blood and workplace accidents that are too implausible to believe (my favourite is the nail flying through the air into a person’s eye). And of course, lots of bad acting and ridiculous music.
As a video producer, it makes me really embarrased about the sort of videos that our industry makes (okay, it was a long time ago, but it should never have been given the go-ahead). But it’s pretty easy to work out that the scriptwriter/producer must have believed that safety is boring, so let’s make it more entertaining by scaring people. This is another reason why not to get your training video made by wannabe film directors!
