What are the Main Stages of Video Production?

The good news is, video production is a streamlined process and it can be broken down into categories or steps..

There are three stages in video production and each of them is equally important and requires a clear plan. These are the main three stages:

1. Pre-production:

Pre-production is very important and it refers to the stage in which you plan the entire process. It’s a critical step because it has a direct impact on the following two stages of video production. Think of it as laying down the foundations of a new building; doing it the right way will have a safe outcome. Pre-production involves developing a clear idea, defining a message, writing a script, drafting a storyboard, scouting locations, building a team, hiring actors and crew, and defining a timeline and deadline for your project. 

2. Production:

Production is where the plan begins to take form. The plan gets real and it becomes a reality. It involves many different aspects and the main goal is to film each scene as planned. The length of this stage depends on the type of video you are requesting. Luckily, the process has been carefully planned and we can now ensure that everything will go smoothly when filming. 

3. Post-production

Post-production refers to the final stage. Your video has been shot, the actors were perfect, and it is now time to edit. The post-production stage usually involves collaborating with clients, making sure the final product is going as expected. Once the editing is complete, we will email the final cut for approval.
