Pre-production
The brief is the most important part of any video. Why do we need a video? Who will see it? Where will they see it. Questions like these are essential to helping everyone involved understand what they are trying to achieve. This stage could involve a recce where the director visits the filming location(s) to confirm suitability and meetings to confirm budget and crew requirements. Also crucial to this stage of the production process is writing the script or confirming exactly what needs to be shot before filming starts.
Production
This is when the cameras come out. These days, crews can be small, often consisting of only one person who operates the camera, sets up the sound and directs the action. Bigger budget productions can have a director, producer, multiple cameras and camera operators, dedicated sound recordists, makeup artists and potentially many more. Our average shoot has two to three crew; a producer/director, a camera operator and a sound recordist. These days, even a standard camera kit can include a drone, slider and gimble for some great looking contemporary results.
Post-production
The ‘rushes’, or the raw footage, is rarely usable without additional processing and this is where post-production comes in. The rushes are imported into the editing system and edited to form the basic programme then music, commentary and sound effects are added, graphics are added, the footage is colour corrected and graded (stylised), special effects and animation are added and finally, when everyone is happy with the end result, the final cut is exported ready for distribution. If multiple language versions are needed we have plenty of experience producing foreign voice overs and captions.
Distribution
Where does your video need to be seen? If it’s being projected onto a big screen you’re going to need the highest quality possible. If, as is most likely these days, it’s going online and you’re planning on hosting it yourself you might need to think about file size. Maybe it needs to be password protected. Maybe it needs to be on multiple platforms. Or in multiple aspect ratios… YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Linked, Twitter and all the other platforms have their own optimal requirements that we understand. And super important? YouTube Optimisation. We can help get your video high in the results so you leapfrog your competition.
