Planning or Pre Production is everything that happens before the camera starts rolling. This is arguably the most crucial part of all blockbuster films, TV shows, ads, promos, and even Instagram stories.
After working with thousands of clients with different levels of experience, The Vidacademy has refined The 8 Steps for Planning an Excellent Video.
These steps will help to ensure that your video maximizes the time allowed to tell your story and captures your audience’s attention.
Here’s an overview of the 8 steps for planning an excellent video and throughout this course we’ll go through each one in detail:
•Step 1 is developing a high-level plan using the 5 W’s roadmap.
•Step 2 is deciding the optimal duration and aspect ratio for your video.
•Step 3 is choosing the production type based on how much time you have and
how proficient you have become in mobile video production.
•Step 4 involves storyboarding to help organize all of your thoughts and ideas.
•Step 5 is adding a hook or something that will grab your viewers’ attention right
at the very start.
•Step 6 is where you take all of the information from your storyboard and
convert it to text – this is where your plan will get really detailed.
•Step 7 is all about project managing your production and creating a calendar
plan with milestones so that you can effectively prioritize your time.
•And finally, Step 8, involved checking any legal or compliance concerns so that
you can mitigate any potential issues early on.
