VIDEO PRODUCTION
There are three distinct stages of video production you should be aware of. Each phase will have its own challenges and will vary depending on the size of your project. Large scale productions in the television and film space will have dedicated teams working on each phase. Whether you are creating a short online video or larger sized project, the getting familiar with the three main stages below will enhance any video production.
VIDEO PRODUCTION STAGES
Pre-Production
Scripting & Storyboard – The pre-production phase of a project is where all the planning takes place before the camera rolls. Whether its measured in minutes, hours or days, this planning phase sets the overall vision of the project. Pre-production also includes working out the shoot location and casting. You’re in pre-production mode the moment you start writing down a few points to cover in a video even if it is a short piece made for a blog. As your projects become more ambitious you can start to storyboard the project. Storyboards can really smooth out the post-production process when it’s time for editing.
Production
Production begins once the footage is recorded. This process will capture all the scenes and information captured in the pre-production process. During the production process you will work out the lighting requirements, framing and composition. Some projects will also shoot B-Roll during the production process. B-Roll is supplementary footage that is included in the finished product.
Post-Production
The post production process begins after all the footage has been captured. This is actually one of my favourite parts of the video making process. Graphics can be added along with images, music, colour correction and special effects. Post-production is like putting the last coat of paint on in a room and it will be well worth the time to learn the basics. This is where your video project will really come to life.
- Offline Editing: This is where all footage, b-rolls, cutaways, audio, music background, media, images will be positioned according to the storyboard and scripts. At this stage the first cut, also known as the rough cut will be reviewed by the client to confirm the storyline before the editor works on the next draft.
- Online Editing: After series of changes to the storyline, online editing will be the last step of the post-production where all lower thirds, subtitles, effects, color correction, color grading will take place to live-up and enhance the aesthetics of the video.
