MODULE 1: Pre-production
What does a video producer do?
Being in an age of digital and DSLR cams, low-cost editing software and tight budgets, many videographers think they can easily produce videos themselves and as a result, are not creating final products that are as impactful or professional as they need to be.
Video producers must have a solid understanding of each phase of production – the pre-production, production and post production.
A video producer is more than just a videographer.
