A corporate video is an audio-visual corporate communication, commissioned primarily for use by a company, corporation or organization. Usually the responsibility of the marketing or communications team, it is often intended for a specific purpose in a corporate and is viewed only by a limited audience.
Corporate videos include product, service or company promotional videos, training videos and informational videos. A growth in digital technology has led to a convergence of corporate videos with other forms of media communication.
A corporate video today, may also be produced using broadcast television and TV advertising techniques and styles. A corporate video might follow popular themes, in order to engage audiences that are typically used to current media.
A corporate video production company is generally responsible for converting a client brief into a script, and produce the video based on the agreed schedule and delivery date. The scale and duration of the production depend entirely upon the requirements and budget for the video.
While some videos are made possible even by the smallest crew and essential equipment, some large scale corporate videos that have similar or often higher budgets than that of TV commercials, invite levels of production on par with those of broadcast television.
Corporate Video Production Process
The corporate video production process will frequently involve the following stages:
- Pre-Production Stage – This is the planning phase, which includes scriptwriting and storyboarding. This phase also involves the budgeting for the whole process, between the corporate video production company and its client.
- Video Production Stage – This is the main execution phase including the filming of the video. This phase brings in the various elements involved in the actual filming such as a camera crew, director, and also actors and presenters if there are any.
- Post-Production Stage – This is the editing stage, where the filmed (live action) footage is pieced together. Any other form of editing such as audio voice-overs, visual effects, the addition of soundtracks, and/or animations takes place. This is the final stage of production, after which a completed product is handed over to the client.
