What is Video Self-modeling?

Video Self-Modeling logoVideo self-modeling is defined as the procedure of using carefully planned and edited positive self-images of adaptive-only behavior on video. The goal of video self-modeling is to change the frequency or quality of a person's behavior. By using basic video production techniques, images of behaviors which pose special challenges for individuals can be altered or enhanced. Self-modeling involves creative planning and editing to produce a short video approximately two or three minutes long. Students view their video several times over a two week period and a parent or educator notes their reactions and changes toward the predetermined goals.

There are very few issues that self-modeling cannot change. The only requirement is that the person wants to change and the desired change is realistic. Perhaps because of its self-modeling aspect, Video Futures often succeeds where conventional methods have failed.
