Planning your video

Planning your video

When producing a video, tips to achieve accessibility are to:

  • choose an effective combination of colours and contrast levels against the background

  • avoid patterned backgrounds and strobe effects

  • not convey information using colour only 

  • ensure that audio levels of content (eg talking) are high enough relative to background sound or music

  • align the time on screen with the complexity of visual components such as diagrams, figures and maps

  • provide an alternative format of the video’s content, preferably in text or HTML.
