Short Films Video Production

Tips for Creating Short Films Videos

• Start With A Script

  The key to successful short video production is planning. The better you plan ahead, the easier it is to avoid dead time, repetition, and other elements that will distract or bore audiences. With a script, you can plan your words and actions ahead of time, ensuring that everything that happens in the video will be purposeful. Once you have written and edited the script, memorize it and make everyone involved in the film do the same. This will guarantee that your cast and crew are on the same page during production, reducing the chance that anything will go wrong.

• Set Clear Steps

  If you are making a short instructional film, you will have to condense a large amount of information into a few minutes of time. This is convenient for audiences who want to learn new facts quickly, but it also runs the risk of confusing them. To minimize this problem, divide the content of your video into steps, categories, or other small units. This will give your viewers clear frames of reference to remember the information you've presented, allowing them to comprehend even the most densely-packed facts.

• Leverage Your Location

  In a live-action film, the location provides context and ambiance, so choose it well. Unless your video specifically calls for it, never film in a place with loud noises, flashing lights, or anything else that might distract or confuse your viewers. If your short film focuses on a specific city, choose a location that is easily identifiable as part of that city. This will give the film an air of authenticity and encourage people who live in that city to watch it.

My experience with 90 Seconds has been different than any other video production company - mainly just because of how global the company is.
