Who this course is for

This course is put together for corporate communications and marketing executives. No previous video making experience is necessary to make the best of this course, though having some experience in video production obviously will be helpful. The concepts, methods and techniques discussed here are universal and will benefit any video maker to make better films regardless genre. No special equipment is necessary to benefit from this course and any video camera including your smartphone will suffice.

The principles outlined here do apply to any video project, be that marketing, training, human resource, infomercial, and the many other kinds of video productions available.

As a communications professional, you know that using video to achieve your marketing goals from converting leads to raising awareness is the right thing to do. You know you can easily outsource this task to a production house or even a freelancer and they will take responsibility for the project from start to finish.

Then the project actually starts, and the production demands and questions come flooding in. People are riding on your words and decisions to make this happen. How are you supposed to deal with this? 

But wait. It gets worse!

You hired a production company to do this for you, but they too require your attention and detailed answers for them to proceed. And with ever more problems that you’re confronted with, the more you’re inclined to throw in the towel and wish you had never started such a project.

The panic dissipates a bit and you start to function again. You answer questions you hope will be the last and you physically wish the project to progress forward. But it seems like for every step forward you move, you’re dragged back two steps.

I sympathize. I get it.

Creating a video, no matter how small, is a complex task that requires many talents to come together to make it happen. It’s not just art, but a science as well as astute project management.

Without a thorough plan, a video project is almost guaranteed to fail. Planning for a video project is different from other types of content. Because video offers a unique set of challenges that need to be addressed for progress to occur.
