Video Production Definition
From Wikipedia
Video production, or videography, is the art and service of videotaping, editing, and distributing a finished video product. This can include television production, commercial video production, and corporate and event videos.
This (above) is the standard definition of Video Production taken from Wikipedia. Notice there is no mention of video for the web. Video production is now within the reach of all businesses as you can distribute video via your website.
Elements of Video Production
Elements of video production include (1) Pre-Production, (2) Production, and (3) Post Production. All video productions are organized this way to ensure that the process is a seamless one, and the final-result is as envisioned. Pre-production is the planning stage of your shoot, and occurs before the camera starts rolling. By creating storyboards, scouting locations, and figuring out the budget ahead of time, the goal is for your production to be free of unnecessary worry. Production is the shooting stage of your shoot, which includes cinematography, audio, lights, as well as directing, art and effects. Post production begins when your camera stops rolling. All footage is then logged and captured, organized, and then edited. But Post Production does not stop here. Effects and transitions are designed, music is added, and color compositions are made.
Corporate
Corporate video production covers a wide range of purposes from corporate communication, training and education, videotaping conferences and conventions, and sales. Video productions can be viewed live in-person, as is the case of I-Mag (image magnification) at a conference where a live video feed from a speaker is shown on a large projection screen; live remotely, as is the case with webcasting where participants can view a live video stream from their computers with an internet connection; or after the event on a variety of playback mediums, including playback from the original camera tape or memory based recording device or an edited version from a website video, optical disc, magnetic tape, or portable video device.
Event
Video production can be used at sporting, school, stage, wedding, church, and similar events to provide recordings of the events. Event video productions range in distribution from a wedding video that is custom made for a bride and groom and their immediate family and friends, to a dance recital where dozens to hundreds of videos are sold to individual dancers. Event video production can also be used to broadcast events live to viewers at home such as a press conference or concert. Video of live events can be sent by microwave or satellite from the event location to a studio in order to be broadcast.
