Master Corporate Video Production for Your Brand

Corporate Video Production Overview

Understanding Corporate Video Production

Corporate video production is like the Swiss Army knife for businesses wanting to boost their brand and charm their audience. It’s all about three big phases: planning like a mastermind, shooting like a pro, and editing like an artist. Each part is key in making a video that doesn’t just look good but shouts out your company’s vibe loud and clear.

These videos can wear a lot of hats. Whether it’s an ad for that new gizmo, a sneak peek into your workplace, or just showing off how awesome you are at what you do, a video can tell the world. By matching the video’s style to your brand’s personality, we help you shout your message from the rooftops – or the internet.

Stages of Corporate Video Production

Making a top-notch corporate video is like baking a cake – you gotta follow the recipe. There are three main steps here: plan it, shoot it, and then make it all pretty. Knowing these steps is like having the secret sauce to a killer video.

1. Pre-Production

Think of this as your game’s strategy meeting. Here’s where you get your ducks in a row:

Brainstorming: Nail down what you want to say and how you’re gonna say it.
Writing It Down: Get the words and action sorted – scripts don’t write themselves!
Calendar Time: Mark those dates and make a game plan so you’re not scrambling.
Show Me the Money: Know where your cash is going, from actors to cameras and any other must-haves.

This stage is like laying the groundwork for a skyscraper. To go down the pre-production rabbit hole, swing by our video services page.

2. Production

Lights, camera, action! Here’s where the magic happens:

Roll Camera: Capture the moments as planned, following the script.
Captain’s Orders: Make sure everyone knows what they’re doing and the vision comes to life.
Audio and Visuals: Get your sound and lighting on point for pro-level quality.

Good equipment and a talented crew make all the difference. For gear tips, pop over to our essential equipment section.

3. Post-Production

Here’s where we sprinkle the fairy dust:

Piecing the Puzzle: Snip and clip the footage till it all fits just right.
Sound Magic: Tune up the audio with some background tunes and effects.
Add Some Flash: Drop in visual effects and animations to make it shine.

Getting it right in post means your video struts out like a superstar. For the lowdown on this part, check out the tech stuff here.

Planning and Scheduling

When it comes to making corporate videos, our secret weapon is solid planning and scheduling. We, at our corporate video production studio, make sure every project rolls on track without hiccups.

Importance of Production Planning

Think of production planning as the backbone of any corporate video. We keep things streamlined by mapping out tasks, highlighting what’s crucial, and keeping everyone in the loop. Planning also means we catch any bumps in the road before they become full-on roadblocks. Fun fact: 86 percent of project managers have ditched their clunky desktop planning tools for slick, cloud-based ones to keep an eagle eye on task progress.

Scriptwriting	500 – 1,500

Success Metrics for Corporate Videos

Getting a handle on how well a corporate video performs is a bit like being the coach of a football team. You want to know if your plays are landing if the crowd’s cheering, and if your star striker (that’d be the Call-to-Action) is scoring goals. At our corporate video production studio, we’ve got our playbook full of stats and numbers that help ensure your video isn’t just out there, but making a splash with your audience.

Measuring Video Success

When it comes to figuring out if your corporate video is hitting the mark, we’ve got our detective hats on. We look at all sorts of clues that tell us how many eyes are on your video, how many hearts are hooked, and whether folks are doing what we’d like ’em to do after watching. Checking this stuff helps us tweak the game plan and boost how your video performs next time around.

Metric	What’s It All About?
View Count	Counts the eyeballs, well, technically the screens that have tuned in. It’s a way to see just how far the video has traveled.
Play Rate	Shows the number of folks who saw your video and thought, “Why not?” and gave it a shot. Tells if it’s got the right stuff right from the start.
Engagement	Check if viewers are hooked or if they’re bailing early. A good measure of how captivating and top-notch the video itself is.
Click-Through Rate (CTR)	Takes note of who was persuaded to interact after the video. It says a lot about whether your content nudged folks in the right direction.

Key Metrics for Corporate Video Evaluation

View Count

View count is like that high five you give yourself when you see the number ticking up. Every platform has its way of counting, but more views mean more folks are joining the party. YouTube, Facebook—you name it, the game is the same: high views = wide reach.

Play Rate

The play rate answers the question: Are folks hitting play when they come across your video? If the numbers are high, it means people think it’s worth a look-see. This metric will tell you if your video’s packaging—the thumbnail, the title—is doing its job.

Metric	Ideal Zone
Play Rate	50% – 70%

Engagement

Engagement is a buzzword, but let me tell you why it’s important. It’s all about how long viewers stick around. If they’re watching your video to the end, congrats! You’re connecting with your audience, and that means your content didn’t bore them to tears.

Engagement Check	Sign of High Engagement
Average Watch Time	3/4 of the total video
Engagement Rate	50% – 60%

Click-Through Rate (CTR)

Think of CTR as seeing if your video’s call-to-action has legs. It’s about counting the clicks on things you want viewers to notice and act on after watching. A neat CTR suggests your video didn’t just fill time, but got viewers leaning in and responding.

Metric	Good CTR Range
Click-Through Rate	3% – 5%

Sticking to these metrics means we’re not only getting your corporate videos seen but also getting people to do something about it! If that sounds like it’s up your alley, take a gander at our corporate video production services or chat with a local corporate video production agency.
