A Brief Introduction To Video Production

By Drake Bido


Video production, or as it is sometimes known as videography, involves the practice of both videotaping and editing that will end up with a finished product ready for distribution. This can be an extremely fulfilling and interesting area to get into, and can be especially interesting for individuals whose approach to learning a new skill is perhaps not supported by more traditional training approaches.

There are a wide variety of websites and teaching courses available in this field which can give interested individuals the chance to learn all the necessary skills needed to get into this business. The skills involved here can include anything from producing professional looking special effects to creating some stunning and powerful dramatic shots or sequences. Moreover, although the methods are generally able to achieve some pretty professional results they are often available at a fairly low price.

The finished product will have generally gone through several different stages before it is ready. These stages will include both a pre-production stage as well as a post-production stage that will follow the main process of actually shooting the footage. The end product could be one of many types, including training films, business communications or product promos.

However, anyone who is hoping for success in this industry will need to master more than just the technological skills. A suitable ability for such things as simply being able to relate a good story will also be needed. Nevertheless, an individual who does manage to achieve a high level of skill here can expect to have several options open to them.

This can include the art of making documentaries; a practice that is just about as old as film itself. This field will no doubt require carrying out some historical research often using fairly traditional methods.

Nowadays, the art of video production, as we have seen can encompass an extremely wide range of applications. It can even include the writing of scripts, 'treating' the film and creating shot lists. Suffice to say anyone who may be interested in this area should check out the numerous websites available online.
