To create an explainer video, you need to come terms with what type of explainer you want to create. Most explainer videos fall under 3 main categories.

• Infographic: Charts, graphs and also iconography is emulated in the style of an infographic whilst explaining the crucial features and key elements of the product/service.
• Chalkboard: We all have seen this over-utilised animated explainer video everywhere. It is a style where the business elements are explained while writing on a chalkboard or whiteboard. It is the most popular one because of how easy it can put forward the point.
• Product Simulation: The screencast footage of the product is featured, giving high-level, information induced explanation of the product/service.
• Character-Driven: This style uses quirky and cute characters to tell a story and explain the product/service.
• Motion Graphic: It is usually 3D graphic, this explains or aims to tell the story through the representational object to incite the audience’s imagination with pictures rather than words.
• Live-Action: We all seen the ‘Trivago-Hotel’ video, where a man comes in and explain the entire deal with the company and how it has been useful to him. That is what a Live-Action explainer video is about. It uses people and objects to explain the company’s ideas. This is one kind which is difficult to pull-off, but if done right, it can be of high utility. One has to be exceptionally creative, thoughtful to keep everything interesting. These videos usually have a spokesperson who takes viewers through a visual journey.
• Crowdfunding: This usually involves a combination of the animated and live-action type of video. Usually, every crowdfunding video is an explainer video by nature.
