The two most general types or “styles” of video production are 1) the traditional Scripted Production, and 2) the more spontaneous Live Production. Below is a comparisons of the processes, preparation, and budgeting for each.
Column format…..
I find it helpful to consider borrowing techniques or processes from one style to the other as we walk the delicate balance of budgetary restrictions on one hand, and the need for the highest production value possible on the other.
Show examples of scripted, Live, Script with live shortcutting, Live with post-prod. Enhancement.
In a scripted piece, and put together one scene or shot at a time, along with possible narration, music, and graphics, etc. That’s a pretty standard definition of what video production is, after all.
Another, simpler approach that might not be a true “production” at all. The Live Production. I do a fair amount of live event video recording—a lecture series at one of the colleges, for example. These lectures usually require no editing at all. They simply capture and clearly document an event. A hybrid approach would be to shoot a presenter in real time, both sound and picture. Then cut away to close-up shots when appropriate, or to edit the audio. Further revisions and even clarifications can also be done as voice-overs in post-production.
We aim for very high production value at affordable cost Long-term? Worthwhile investment
We don’t do weddings or TV commercials
Be sure to list these:
- Plan ahead! Talk to the video professional way before booking a space
