A proven method of accurately communicating ideas in corporate presentations is through well-executed video productions. High quality videos can easily be edited for use in television and website marketing if they are done properly. If video is of poor quality or if the content is not presented well an otherwise great concept could be placed in jeopardy. The following tips will help guide you through some important things to remember when producing corporate videos.
Equipment – There are three basic levels of camera equipment to choose from when considering the production of your own videos. For any of the three, digital cameras will help keep costs down and make reproduction easier. At the lower end is the least expensive home video option. These cameras will produce fair to good quality video. At the next level, consider DVD quality cameras and for the highest quality digital video, use an HDV video camera.
Lighting – Always make sure your subjects are well lit. Poor lighting will look unprofessional and be regarded as poor quality. Good lighting means more than one good light; it takes several lights to illuminate a subject properly. The goal is to cast light evenly to reduce or eliminate shadows. This means that lighting will need to come from several different directions at once. Photography gels can be used to diffuse the light and eliminate harsh shadows.
Audio – Dedicated microphones should be used for each person participating in the video and if there are more than 2 people, a sound mixer should be used to capture and isolate each instance of audio by a sound operator. Professional grade, directional microphones will offer the best results, but radio microphones can be used also in cases where the subject may be moving around a lot. These wireless microphones may give lower quality audio however and they may also be affected by radio interference. Roaming microphone operators may be employed where there is a large group of people that may offer audio contributions such as in town hall meetings or question and answer sessions.
Capturing Video – Some planning will allow you to capture good quality content that can be edited later to make the video flow in a concise, professional manner. Aside from capturing the relevant actions and speech of your subjects, it is also important to obtain video segments that may be used to cut in later. This would include things like nodding heads of an interviewer, side shots, close ups and wide angle shots that can be used to cover edits and make the flow look natural. Obtain as much content of this type as is possible because it will make editing much easier.
Once all of the content is obtained, it will be time to edit it together with a digital system that will allow you to cut and paste footage where it is needed. The final product will then be burned on to a DVD for use in your presentation, or for distribution.
Video presentations can be risky because if they are not done right, your presentation will come off as unprofessional, but if done properly, a mediocre idea could be viewed as spectacular.
