Lights! Camera! Action! Three
action words you hear and then you smile like a movie lover. This could come
from the place of being a thespian girded into a character of yet another video
production, and all that was remaining was to get set to launch. This could
also come in from the place of a frenzied lover of theatre, especially when it
is more than a good script, or the lighting sets your thoughts awake, or maybe
it's just the list of casts and you can't just wait for an avalanche of
creativity to be televised. Yeah, movie lovers can better relate. I'll leave
you to that imagination.
I know, right? Video production Dubai is many things
for many people, and I'm not even going to be quick to put you in a box, as
there is a whole lot of effort churned out to make it into a name. While the
producer and scriptwriter may get many the accolades, the efforts of the
make-up artist, the person in charge of lighting, choreographer, wardrobe
assistant, stunts man [where necessary], graphic designer, and more are just
some other salient areas in Video ProductionCompany Dubai that make up the entire meal.
In today’s one out of the regular
articles, I will be sharing some thoughts on video production as a whole,
however, this time I will be focusing on some possible errors or things that
could be avoided during a video shoot. There are many angles to this, and I am
not blaming anyone, however, kindly read through, and I think you share some of
my views based on your experiences as well.
Oh my, how could I have come this
far without mentioning that this whole article was made possible by The
Watchtower - Web Design Agency Dubai, and Film district Dubai. Film District
Dubai is that one guy army you need when considering film production in Dubai,
and just like you can’t fully explain how sweet an ice cream sundae is until
you experience a taste, an experience in the use of their service is all you
need.
What makes a quality video
production?
Curious me, what comes to your
mind when you hear people talk about video production? For many, it is just the
quality of video output in storytelling or a process of televising. It is a
common metric for a rating usually dependent on how clear the video output is,
how audible the voice is, how synchronized or matched the video and the voice
is, and perhaps the ability to exterminate noise [basically an unwanted noise].
While all these are valid, however, other things compose the quality of video
production for our leisure to determine if it is an excellent delivery or just
a fair enough job, or otherwise.
Is video production all about
lights, cameras, and action?
If you pay attention to the
choice of words used after the video, you will understand that the word
production is not just termed as a finished good, but comes from the fusion of
diverse phases of activities and efforts, hence why it is not called video
product, but production. Video production requires a dedicated effort in
understanding the script for storytelling and the right props to make this
product come alive, the process of this is the actual sense of video
production.
While a good lighting system,
some set of choice camera, and a well-skilled director can tell the difference
in the video production dubai, below are some other essential ingredients that makeup
video production but receives little or no cognizance. They are:
1.
Makeup.
This part is often referred to as
or happens to work under the cosmetology team. Asides from ensuring that the
faces of the cast are well powdered or eyebrows nicely drawn [if being a woman].
The make-up team ensures that the storytelling [video production] is easier, we
don’t need to rack our heads too much to understand a scene. Take, for
instance, a cast is portrayed as being sick, without even showing the person in
a hospital bed, or taking medics, we should be able to tell by the face alone
even without saying a word but just by seeing the person [depending on the
story though].
2.
Audio.
Ok, guys! We have paid to watch
your movie by streaming online, or a visit to the cinema, and my my, you do
have a catchy video cover and trailer to stir me to come this far as watching
the movie, but your audio is crap. Would I score you well for overall video
production? No way! The microphone angles, the volume, and the choice of
microphone for each scene must be intentional such that the audio output is
uniform all the way. It is not low in some scenes and then high in others
unless when this was intended based on the act/scene played at the point.
3.
Music/Sound.
When seeing a movie, you could
feel the connection to the storytelling just by the background music/sound
played. This could come as suspense, thriller, comics, sorrowful, and what have
you, all just from the sound or background music played. It is therefore
pertinent to ensure the sound is told aright, and you could help stir our
wondering minds whenever a scene is shown. It is very important.
4.
Typography.
Yeah, you are right. Typography
comes from the place of texts and how they should look when they are been
considered at any point. Typography finds great use in video production in
areas where subtitles are included, or when texts are randomly displayed on the
screen to highlight perhaps a location, a brief inserted to help the audience
follow the journey of the story. The fonts must be legible for an easy read, it
is important that the background color contrast well enough or where the texts
would be placed to help the viewers save time catching the information fast
enough to move on to the next scene.
5.
Costume.
When depicting a role, one must
look the part always. You cannot claim to be playing the role of a rich
individual and you are wearing an imitation of a label. Or you are trying to
depict a film from the orient but some of the props are of modern style. That
is colossal on every angle! The clothes have to tell the story as a whole, and
more importantly, there should be no loose ends. It speaks not just for the
director, and producer, but for the entire piece of video production.
6.
Extras.
This part is more important than
maybe all others, as they are the little foxes that could ruin the whole
harvest. You know when you have a scene and you need people to be seen around,
perhaps a market or a classroom, there is an absolute need to give strict roles
to each of these extra casts, if not, they end up all clumsy and looking at the
camera when that was never their roles. People like myself would be looking
away from the main act while shooting a scene, and I see people not properly
dressed or just staring at the camera. I just hope they get their balance.
[lol]
Another part is those who support
by holding the long pole microphones and the tip of it suddenly shows on top of
a scene... Nah! Another is a scene that shows the acts by a mirror, glass, or
anything with reflection and all you can see is the man with the camera,
perhaps the one with the long pole microphones, and on some other days, if you
are so lucky, you get to see the cast... all from the reflection of the cast’s
Ray-Ban glasses [Shout out to Ray-Ban glasses for keeping it 100 for us all the
time by the way].
At the end of it all, all these
are what make up the rating of a quality video production. The script, acting
skills, choice of camera, position of the camera, and all work together to make
video production a great output or otherwise. It is usually said that Together
Everyone Achieves More. [TEAM] this is true in all colors, and I can attest
that if the team shares the same goal to deliver quality output, you will have
a remarkable headliner as a project just completed. Cameras are a good
definition of video production, and you may not necessarily need to purchase
the tools and gadgets when you can simply hire from Film District Dubai or even
seek professional advice when it comes to film production or just a random
video shoot consideration.
