To outsiders, video production might seem vague — isn’t it just about using cameras to shoot videos? As everyone uses smartphones to shoot videos everywhere, video production is certainly not that simple. From pre-production to post-production,
If you want to learn a thing or two about the video production industry, consider VM’s video production process, which will make execution relatively easier and more understandable when you actually do it.
Process 1: Understanding Client Needs
In response to client inquiries, VM’s first step is to hold a kick-off meeting to understand the purpose of the client’s video. After clarifying the purpose, we can provide a preliminary quote based on the client’s requirements, type of video, production budget, etc., and start executing the video production project upon formal contract signing.
Process 2: Pre-production Preparation
After understanding the client’s needs, the production team will write a script outline and create storyboards, etc., to help conceptualize and organize the elements and sequence of the story, facilitating production.
Process 3: Shooting Preparation
Once the client approves the script, the production team will find suitable shooting locations, art props, and conduct actor auditions, set the shooting date, and arrange the shooting schedule, etc.
Process 4: Video Shooting
The production team will arrange for cameras, lighting, makeup, costumes, etc., and shoot according to the confirmed script. It’s important to note that the director might change the order of shooting based on the scene or on-site conditions (commonly known as “shoot skipping”), but will ensure all content is captured in the end.
Process 5: Video Editing and Special Effects
After all shooting is completed, the next step is to perform initial editing, basic color grading, basic music scoring, and sound processing according to the script. The production team will then produce a first cut of the video, allowing the client to provide feedback for adjustments and confirm that the content is correct.
Process 6: Post-production
Once the client confirms the content of the video, the production team will make modifications, adjust sound and color, and add special effects, music, voice-overs (VO), and subtitles, etc.
Process 7: Video Output and Delivery
The final and most crucial step is to output the video in the format suitable for the client’s chosen broadcasting platform, allowing them to promote it to their target customers and audience through online or other platforms.
