The video production process

In general, there are three phases of the video production process.

Pre-production

The pre-production video phase is the phase in which we sit down with the client to clarify what the purpose of the video is. Three questions are central: what message should be conveyed, who is the video aimed at and what is the available budget. Next, we make a proposal and create a script and possibly a storyboard. If this is approved the production can begin and, in consultation with the client, the planning and delivery are scheduled. Sometimes a script is not necessary and we work unscripted, for example if it is a report or summary of an event. Then the video takes shape during editing.

Video production

In the video production phase the filming takes place on the basis of the script or shot list. Images are shot, interviews conducted and, if necessary, actors used to tell the story. The recordings take place on location or in the studio.

Post-production

The video footage is finally worked into smooth-flowing story during editing. Sometimes music is added, or animations (on-screen text or info graphics). Sometimes there is also a voice-over, the voice that adds important information to the images.

Delivery

After final approval by the client, the video is delivered in the desired format and then it can be published.
