What is Video Production?

Video production is basically the entire process

of creating a video. Whether it's a short film, a
full-length movie, business marketing video,
television commercial, music video, or other
type of film, the process may vary a little with
the specifics, but the overall process is
basically the same.
The basic process can be broken down
into three subcategories.

Pre - Production Production Post Production

 Pre - Production
This is the planning stage. There will be no recording
during this process, just preparation.
• An idea is formed
• The script is written
• The cast is selected
• The audio and video crew members are chosen

Everything is organized in preparation for the

recording process. Scene locations are selected, the
script is edited and revised if necessary, and an outline
 Production
Once all the cast and crew have been hired,
and the script has been edited and
approved, the actual production process
can begin. Crew and cast members all
travel to each location, and each scene is
shot until it is satisfactory. Then everyone
will move to the next scene. This process
repeats until every scene in the film has
been shot. Once each scene has been
properly shot, it's time to move on to the
next stage of post-production.
Post - Production

Post-production covers all actions that are

performed after the actual shooting of the
film has been completed. This includes
merging each scene, syncing audio and
video, editing audio and video, and adding
special effects.

CINEMATOGRAPHY
&
LIGHTING
 Camera shot types are also
referred to as viewing distance.

They describe the distance

between the camera and the
subject.

There are five main types of

camera shots.
Close-up Shot Mid Shot Long Shot

Extreme Close-Up Shot Extreme Long Shot

 Close-up Shot

An object or an actor’s head takes

up most of the screen. It is used to
reveal emotion through facial
expression.
 Mid Shot

An actor is seen from the

waist up (this is the most
common type of shot). It
shows emotion through
facial expression as well as
body language.
 Long Shot

An actor’s entire body is

seen as well as some of the
setting. It shows a character's
emotion through posture and
gesture.
 Extreme Close-Up Shot

This is a very close shot and may be only

a small part of an object or person. It is
used to draw our focus to show a specific
detail.
 Extreme Long Shot

This shows the landscape of the film with

a barely visible character in the distance.
It is used to show setting or make a
person look small or vulnerable in their
surroundings.
Camera angles are also referred
to as viewing perspective.

They describe the angle of the

camera in relation to the subject.

There are six main types of

camera angles.
There are six main types of camera angles.
 Low Angle

The camera is positioned

below the subject, looking
up. It makes the subject
looks large, imposing and
powerful.
 High Angle

The camera is positioned

above the subject, looking
down. This makes the
subject looks small, weak,
powerless or insignificant.
 Eye Level
Shot

The audience sees the

subject straight on (this is
the most common type of
shot). The subject is
observed with no bias.
 Birdseye
View

The camera is placed

overhead or directly above
the subject. Characters and
objects are made to look
small compared to their
surroundings.
 Undershot

The camera is positioned

directly beneath the subject.
It is often coupled with
point-of-view shots when
the character is looking up
at something.
 Dutch Tilt

The camera is tilted on it’s

axis so it produces an image
that is similar to tilting
one’s head on the side. It’s
often used to convey
tension or chaos.
 There are four main types of camera movement.

Panning Shot

The camera is stationary and the head

moves from left to right or right to left
on a horizontal axis. It is usually used to
show a setting or landscape.
There are four main types of camera movement.

Tilt Shot

The camera is stationary and the head

moves up or down on a vertical axis. It
is used to show the height of something
or to mirror someone raising or
lowering their head.
 There are four main types of camera movement.

Zoom

The camera is stationary and the focus

changes to zoom in or out on an object,
character or setting. It is used to draw
focus to a particular detail.
There are four main types of camera movement.

Tracking Shot

The camera moves on tracks or

wheels, from a helicopter or crane or
from the body of a person. They often
follow a traveling or moving subject.
 There are two main types of lighting.

EDITING
Editing
This is the process of assembling and splicing
together the various shots which comprise a
film.

The editing speed (or tempo) of a particular

sequence is also an important consideration.

Fast editing generates excitement and

anticipation and slow editing has a calming
and relaxing effect on the viewer.

 AUDIO
TECHNIQUES
 Music
Music in film is a powerful
emotional trigger that
achieves a number of things:
• It creates mood or atmosphere
• It establishes setting
• It reinforces or foreshadows certain
events
• It gives meaning to a character's
actions or translates their thoughts
 Sound Effects
Sound effects are any sound, other
than music or speech, artificially
reproduced to create an effect.
• Sound effects are most often added into the
movie post production.
• Many times when filming a scene with multiple
actions going on at the same time, such as
dialogue, sword fighting and other background
action, sound effects are added to make the
effect louder.
 Dialogue & Voice
Dialogue is defined as a conversation
between two or more people in a
movie.
• In addition, a movie could have a monologue
where a character is speaking out loud when he
or she is alone or a voiceover where they speak
over a sequence of events.
• A character can convey a range of emotions or
ideas through the voice they adopt when
delivering dialogue.
THEATRICAL
ELEMENTS
 Setting
The setting is the place in which the action occurs.
It gives us information about the time, location and
atmosphere.

It can also provide challenges for the characters to

overcome.

Settings can convey ideas for example opulence,

squalor, a particular culture etc.
 Costume
Costumes can quickly convey a good
deal about characters.

Costumes are carefully chosen to

represent a range of things about
characters – their occupation, age,
status, personality, mood and so on.

Colors are generally used symbolically

when it comes to costume.
 Props
Objects that actors manipulate or that are
a part of the set are called props.

They too can reveal information about

character, setting, and themes.

Think about the symbolism or

connotations of different objects.
 Acting
Acting, like painting and filmmaking, is an art
and there are many tools that an actor has at his
or her disposal to communicate a character to an
audience. Consider the following:
• Body language – Including facial
expression, gesture, posture and movement,
• Voice & delivery of lines - the way that an
actor chooses to say his or her lines
