A use case film is a visual representation that shows specific use cases or scenarios in a real or conceptual context. Often used in the marketing, education and software development industries, the use case film serves to clearly explain how a product, service or system works. By combining narration, images and sometimes interactive elements, it makes it easier for viewers to understand complex processes, product benefits or solutions to problems.
Use case films are widely used in various areas:
In software development, they illustrate how certain functions or services can be used to meet specific user needs.
In marketing, they are used to effectively communicate the benefits of a product or service to potential customers.
In education, they help to illustrate complex concepts or processes through visual examples.
The creation of a use case film comprises several steps:
Conceptualization: defining the target audience, purpose and key messages.
Script development: Creation of a script that structures the information to be conveyed and tells a story.
Production: Selection of the appropriate visual styles, such as animation or live action, and realization of the script.
Post-production: Editing, colour correction, soundtrack and integration of effects to finalize the film.
Improved comprehensibility: Complex ideas become easier to understand through visual representations.
Increased engagement rate: Visual content captures viewers' attention more effectively than text.
Versatile usability: Can be used in various media and platforms, from websites to social media.
Resource expenditure: High-quality films require time, specialist knowledge and budget.
Complexity reduction: Important information must be conveyed clearly and concisely without omitting essential details.
While advertising is often designed to be emotionally appealing and aimed at sales, a use case film focuses on the presentation and explanation of specific use cases.
