PRODUCTION PROCESS The process
of creating a video can be broken down into three equally important steps: 1
– Planning 2
– Shooting 3
– Editing In this
lesson, we will focus on the planning process. Before beginning, we will look at some
basic terminology required to explain the process. VIDEO TERMINOLOGY A scene is generally considered to be a
location where part of a video will be filmed. A shot is from the point at which you
hit “record” on the video camera to the point you hit “stop” (or “pause”). A scene
usually consists of many shots combined together. The decision of how to combine different
shots together is called composition. While some
composition decisions can be done during editing, most decisions must be made
during the planning process so that you know how to shoot different scenes. PLANNING PROCESS It is
important to realize that the planning process is extremely important to the
final product. It will allow you to
problem solve and come up with original ideas for the shooting process. Do not underestimate the importance of
proper planning. The planning
process can involve three steps: 1 – The
proposal 2 – A script 3 – A
storyboard It should be
noted that all three steps almost always include many revisions. PROPOSAL The proposal
is simply a short description of the video and working conditions. It includes a list of workers, their roles
and equipment required for the project. SCRIPT In its
roughest form, the script is a draft of the story or events that will take
place. It gradually evolves to include
the lines of each character (actor). STORYBOARD It includes
still images for each scene (and at times shot) that is in a video
