Why University Needs Before & After Video

In the University sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Before & After Video delivers measurable results that transform how university professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for University

University video production serves three competing institutional priorities: student recruitment (the revenue driver), research promotion (the prestige driver), and alumni engagement (the fundraising driver). Recruitment videos must feel authentic to a Gen-Z audience that rejects polished institutional messaging — student-generated content, day-in-the-life vlogs, and candid campus footage outperform scripted promotional films. Research communication requires a different register entirely: explaining complex academic work to funding bodies, media, and the public through animated summaries and laboratory documentaries. The production volume is significant — a mid-sized university may need 50-100 videos per year across faculties, departments, and central communications. International recruitment adds multilingual requirements, with English, Chinese, and Arabic being the most requested language versions. Annual video budgets for French universities range from 20,000 to 150,000 euros, with Parcoursup application season (January-March) and international recruitment fairs driving the content calendar.

Video Challenges in University

Engaging the Digital-Native Learner

Education faces a fundamental shift: students now expect video-first learning experiences. 65% of people are visual learners, and video-based courses see 25% higher completion rates. Yet producing quality educational content at scale — across subjects, levels, and languages — remains a significant challenge for institutions.

Universities compete for students through campus tour videos and program showcases. E-learning platforms need engaging tutorials that maintain attention. Corporate training requires compliance-tracked modules that employees actually watch. Each context demands different production approaches.

What Makes Before & After Video Unique

Before/after video showcases transformations — renovations, makeovers, weight loss, product results, or restoration projects — using split-screen wipes, slider reveals, and side-by-side comparisons that make the change undeniable. We shoot both states with matched framing, lighting, and lens settings so the comparison is honest and visually clean. The editing uses a consistent reveal mechanic that the viewer expects and enjoys. A typical before/after piece runs 30-60 seconds and takes 3-5 business days in post (assuming you provide both sets of footage). This format has the highest save-and-share rate on Instagram and Pinterest according to platform data.
