People who are new to the video production industry consider it’s just the idea that makes a great video. Experts, however, know that creating a great video takes more than a concept. A stunning video goes through five stages of development before reaching the audience. If you want to enter this enthralling world of video production, you must know what those five stages are.
Here is how a video is produced in five definitive stages.
The first stage of any creative process is to develop an idea of what the video would look like. The same goes for video production. You need to identify what you want from the video and whom you want to appeal to with the video (target audience).
You also need to establish how you will determine if your video was successful. For example, if the video is for an ad campaign, the campaign's success will be measured by the number of conversions you get.
The next stage is to create the content you want to show in your video. The storyline, characters, and storyboards are made at this stage. You also need to find a crew for the video, including the actors, directors, and other technicians. You also need to find a location such as a movie studio in London to shoot the video and the equipment required.
The next step is the actual creation of the video. It is where the actors enact the scenes, and you shoot their work. Ensure that you have a set timeline and plan to carry out the entire process at this stage. You also need to shoot some extra scenes which you may need during the editing stage.
Post-production is as vital as the production stage. It is where you polish your work to make it shine. You need to edit the scenes you have shot and add or remove anything that does not fit. You also need to check the quality of the video and the sound. Fine-tune any noises and smoothen the lighting and other flaws in the video at this stage. It is a time-consuming and critical task of video production. You can call in experts at this stage if you need an outside opinion.
The final stage of your video production journey is to market your video and distribute it. The marketing and distribution will depend on the purpose of your video and the audience you are targeting. Partner with good marketing agencies to speed up the process and make the most of your video.
Once your marketing and distribution are done, your video production is complete. You only need to wait for the audience to see your work and get feedback. Also, check various KPIs to know how well your video has done.
