the production Concept Treatment Storyboard Video Script
Slide 7
Pre-Production: The Planning Stage 1. Concept refers to the way
in which the message is conveyed to the audience. For example,
narration, commercial, drama, and/or documentary. There can be a
combination of concepts in one video production. 2. Treatment a
descriptive account of what takes place in the video ---audio and
visuals described together
Slide 8
Sample Excerpt from a Video Treatment The movie opens with a
typical country scene, sound effects of birds singing and soft,
gentle music add to the visual of a long shot of the countryside
with a river meandering through the meadows with a small wood in
the distance, to give a feeling of peace and security contained
within the countryside. Notice how the audio and video are
interwoven All the ideas can now be brought together into a simple
document which follows the video from opening to end. The treatment
allows a client to get the overall feel for the video.

3. Storyboard is a visual document whereby the story is drawn
out and categorized by shots and scenes. It includes camera actions
and sound. Pre-Production: Planning Stage contd
Slide 10
4. Video Script is a written document that explains what is
taking place in video and audio simultaneously. It is set up in a
two column format; video to the left and audio to the right. See
sample video script, handout: Regal Bricks Pre-Production: Planning

Slide 11
PRODUCTION Shooting the Video Sequence Filming Lighting Sound
Directing Acting Makeup This is the stage when the video is shot.
Includes set construction, camera operators, sound engineers,
special effects crews, actors, stuntmen, narrators, makeup,
transportation, etc. All under the command of the Director.
Slide 12
Directing The director has a vision for the video Therefore,
all decisions about the production will be done by him/her. This
ensures that the final video is consistent in visuals, audio, and
in overall theme. Basically, the director carries out his/her
vision from the planning stage to the post- production stage. The
act of directing actors and set crew is done during the Production
Stage. Some content taken from Mr. Tingle
Slide 13
Filming Shooting with various camera shots/angles will create
interest and stimulate the audience Access handout for various
filming shots and camera tips from our class website
Slide 14
Key Light is the main lighting source. For example, the sun,
window light, or ceiling light. In artificial lighting, it would be
placed at a 45 degree angle above the subject. Fill Light fills in
the shadows made from the Key Light and lights the subject from the
side. Back Light fills in the remaining shadows and lights the
subject from the back Lighting
Slide 15
Great setup for studio filming - for example, interviewing a
subject. See video on 3 point lighting
Slide 16
POST-PRODUCTION putting it all together! Editing video footage
(software) Sound effects, music, voice over, titling, captions,
etc. *The treatment is rendered in its entirety
