Training videos creation comprises of 4 broad phases:
1. Briefing: This is when you realize you need a corporate video and you contact a video production partner like Rave Films B2B. We will ask you about your objectives, your target audience, your time frame and your budget.
2. Pre-Production: Based on your brief, Rave Films B2B goes on to work out different formats and scripts to meet your goal in the most cost-effective manner. This is the planning phase in which various ways of doing the film are discussed, draft scripts are prepared and perfected, location recce by the film crew is carried out, storyboards are drawn, permissions if any are acquired, shoot dates are fixed and so on.
3. Production:The plan created in the previous phase is put into motion in the Production stage. Video shoot is carried out day-wise in shifts(9 hrs) at locations provided by the client such as office & manufacturing plant. If the script requires a specialized location like a house or a kitchen, an appropriate studio is hired and propped up with the help of set designers.
Shoots involve a crew of at least 10 people including lightmen, makeup artist, camera operators, director, line producer etc. Video shooting is a slow process as each shot being taken needs to be lit up properly. There is a lot of movement of equipment after every shot and therefore it is imperative that the film crew be allotted sufficient time to capture the best shot possible.
4. Post-Production: The final phase in creating the film, Post-Production involves editing of the footage captured, creation of graphics and animation, music composition, voice-over dubbing if required and color correction. This iterative process results in different intermediate 'cuts' of the film - from rough cut to the final cut - that are shared with the client for feedback and revised until the final film is created.
