Child watching a visible moon in a daytime sky — SCIENCE SHORT / WHY CAN WE SEE THE MOON? / CONCEPT ILLUSTRATION

QUICK ANSWER

How to make faceless educational videos

Choose something your audience should understand after watching. “Understand why the moon is visible in daylight” is more useful than “learn astronomy.”

A useful short starts with a clear purpose. These steps will help you shape an idea for your audience and review it before sharing.

Start with one learning goal

Choose something your audience should understand after watching. “Understand why the moon is visible in daylight” is more useful than “learn astronomy.”

Choose the visual explanation

Show the objects and their relationship in a simple sequence. Introduce unfamiliar terms only when they help the viewer follow the explanation.
