Corporate Video Production - what is it and why use a professional?
The production of corporate videos is becoming an increasingly large business with many companies now making the most of video on their websites, on Youtube and similar sites and for use internally and for presenting to potential customer and stakeholders. What this means though is there are many professional video production companies that have little experience and skill. Video Production is something that involves natural skill but also needs to be learnt with experience.
If you use a video production company with less experience you may get someone with a lot of ideas but they should have at least studied video production at college level for two years or more to do a good job. Even then working with corporate businesses to make sure they get the results they want takes skill. An unskilled video production company may end up making a great looking video that doesn’t actually achieve what you want.
An understanding of the importance of brand is vital and one of the first things a company should do is to try to understand your brand and brand values so they can get them across and also understand who it is the video will be aimed at and how they should be approached.
It could be that you want internal videos done, these certainly include training videos but also may be used for internal branding exercises to make sure staff understand the brand and the aims and objectives of the company and have pride in their employer.
Training videos are a great resource to have to cover basics such as health and safety which may include specifics about jobs and the premises staff will be working in such as fire drills and how to use certain equipment. You may also want training videos for a particular job. Compared to a training manual which may not be read in full or training done by a person who may miss things. You can ensure a training video will over everything and be easy to understand. It may also be able to use examples in a way that isn’t possible in normal one to one training.
Many external videos end up online, a good corporate video on your website that may also be put on Youtube and elsewhere will get a lot more information across much more succinctly than text or images on your site.
People looking for a supplier online may not spend much time on each site but a video is an easy way to take in a lot of information they would otherwise have to read.
You can also show staff, premises, equipment and your company at work in a video to get across your standards and professionalism. Showing your staff particularly and getting them to show off their skill, knowledge and personalities will mean that a viewer may finish watching feeling they know your company a little already.
Also online you may want to use videos on Youtube some of which may be designed to go viral. Some of the best videos on Youtube are those that allow you to give people information they need while showing off your skills and professionalism at the same time, for example a garage may have a video of them doing a gearbox oil change that people will watch and learn from but the speed and skill you use can impress them at the same time.
