While the video production process will vary based on the style, content, timeline, effort, and budget, some basic building blocks are common among successful video producers. The process can be broken down into three major sections: pre-production, production, and post-production. To better understand how the different phases of the process work together, we’ve outlined the basics below.

The first step in the process of creating a video is all about preparation and setting the groundwork. During this phase, it’s essential to do the planning, research, problem-solving, and organization necessary to set your video project up to be successful. The pre-production phase includes:

• Video strategy/goals
• Budget, Cost, Scope
• Story selection
• Project timeline
• Script creation
• Talent/characters
• Production team/equipment needs
• Location Scouting

 

Production

The production phase is where all the raw materials for your final video will be captured. If you have specific visions, ideas, or visuals that you want to be included in the final product, be sure that you have clearly communicated that with your producer during the production phase.

The production phase includes:

• Setting up the sound/lighting/video equipment
• Conducting interviews
• Recording voiceovers (if they are needed for your project)
• Capturing b-roll (extra footage that is used to support your story)

Post-Production

After the production phase is finalized, the producer and editor go to work. Your producer will carefully review all the footage and transcribe all of the interviews conducted. Then, they will assemble the story and the video editor does their magic to bring all the pieces together.

The post-production phase includes:

• Logging the interviews
• Producing the final story
• Music selection
• Video editing
• Reviews/approvals
• Final Delivery
