By Neil Rawcliffe


If an organization is looking into getting new information that is exciting to its employees or even as a way of training them, then they should consider when making a corporate video. A few years ago, this method was looked at as expensive and also boring but thanks to the affordability of HD cameras and computer programs that are easy to edit, have made the process much easier.

The success of such a self coordinated project depends on the amount of prior planning that is put in place. The crew needs to be identified in time and roles distributed commensurately. This will ensure that everything takes off when it should and proceeds on at a steady pace to completion.

Like all professional film shoots, it is necessary to begin by laying out a well crafted script. This must be reviewed severally before actual shooting starts to ascertain that all aspects of the shoot are covered and that the message will be delivered as effectively as needs be. A good script editor will ascertain that the content and dialogue leave an impact that will last long enough in the memories of those who watch the final product when it is finally delivered.

Following closely on the heels of this step is the requirement to plan a sequential program of how the film will be shot. In a nutshell, these initial stages are collectively referred to a s preproduction. Also crucial is the identification of locations and any additional planning.

Then go ahead and cast the actors who will appear in the clip and give the script so that they can be familiar with what is expected of them. At this point it is good to know if you will require a borrowed or new camera and all the necessary items like microphones as well as boom.

Before embarking on the set, a proper rehearsal of the roles and action will need to be done to exacting detail. This will provide opportunity for both the director and the actors to familiarize themselves to how the real set will appear as well as coordinating any special effects and stunts.

When shooting the film, make sure that at least each scene has two shots. This will come in handy in case something happens to the already shot only once scenes. In case no one in the company has experience with this process. You can hire the e-services of a professional to ensure that you have all the necessary things in place. It is however important to trust your crew with what you expect from them.



With the film shot and any sound effects and enhancements put on the ready, it is time to transfer the video to the computer for editing. There is a variety of professional editing software that even producers with only amateur skills in production can use to arrive at convincing results. For those without enough skills or confidence, there is a host of online tutorials that will serve as great motivation for learning.

Before the final product is released, it is necessary to have a closed up showing of the prospective corporate video screened for a select audience. Any feedback should be carefully considered and where necessary, changes made to enhance the usability and effectiveness.
