In today’s fast-paced world, our perception of time has been influenced by the technological advancements at our fingertips. This is particularly evident in the realm of business video production. While we have grown accustomed to consuming bite-sized content, creating a professional business video is a complex and time-consuming process.
A professionally crafted business video must have clear objectives and effectively cater to the target audience. Conducting market research, developing a creative brief, and identifying key messages are crucial steps in defining the goals and targets of the video.
According to HubSpot, aligning video content with specific objectives leads to better engagement and higher conversion rates. This initial phase can vary in duration based on the depth of research required and the complexity of the video’s purpose.
Creating a script is a fundamental part of the video production process. It ensures a cohesive and well-structured video that maximizes efficiency during filming. While the script doesn’t have to be a word-for-word transcript, having an outline or detailed script helps avoid unnecessary revisions and reshoots.
According to Wistia, scripted videos tend to perform better in terms of viewer retention and message delivery. Thus, investing time in script development is crucial for producing a compelling business video.
The pre-production phase encompasses all the planning activities before the actual video shoot. This involves tasks such as location scouting, casting, scheduling, prop and equipment preparation, and creating a shot list. The duration of pre-production varies depending on the complexity of the project. For example, a simple video may require a few days of preparation, while a more elaborate production may take several weeks.
Thorough pre-production planning ensures a smooth filming process and reduces the likelihood of delays or complications.
During the production phase, the actual filming of the video takes place. The duration of production is determined by the intricacies of the video. A short video with straightforward shots may be completed within a day, while a more elaborate production may extend over several weeks. Factors such as the number of scenes, locations, actors, and equipment requirements impact the time needed for production.
Diligent coordination and effective communication among the production team contribute to an efficient workflow.
Once filming is wrapped up, the video enters the post-production phase. This stage involves editing the footage, adding special effects, sound design, and finalising the video’s cut. The complexity of these tasks and the level of refinement desired determine the duration of post-production. It can range from a few days to several weeks. Attention to detail in this phase ensures a polished and visually appealing final product.
