How to make a video?
The conventional way of making a video, specially if it is
an educational video, is composed of three major phases
namely:
 Pre-production Phase

 Production Phase

 Post-production Phase
10
 Pre-production Phase
 Pre-production comes early in the filmmaking
process, after development and before production.
 It involves finalizing the script, hiring the actors and
crew, finding locations, determining what equipment
you’ll need, and figuring out the budget.
 Pre-production is the planning stage of a film, where
you solidify all the details of your project before
producing content.

11
Why Is Preproduction
Important in Filmmaking?
 The preproduction phase in filmmaking allows you to
organize everything you need before you start rolling
the cameras.
 Preproduction is when you figure out what you need
to make your video, how much it’s going to cost, and
who you can hire to help you.

12
Why Is Preproduction
Important in Filmmaking?
 Effective preproduction can help you save time and
money (the two most limited resources in filmmaking)
when shooting your project. An outlined budget
means you are less likely to waste resources (or run
out of money), which can derail an entire project.
Detailing the schedule is also integral to a smooth
production process, as it gives the crew a set idea of
where time should be allocated for an efficient shoot.

Production or shooting phase
1. Get your camera.
Depending on your reasons for making
the video, you may want to invest in a high-
quality camera to create a professional-
looking project, or you may want to use
whatever is available for a cheaper option.
Whatever the case, getting a camera to shoot
video on should be your first step.

2. Find the best angles.
Whether you're shooting get to the place
early and do some scouting to see the right
angles for shooting video. Find a few
comfortable positions and shoot from multiple
angles to get different footage that you'll be able
to edit together later into a nice product.

17
Production or shooting phase
3. Keep rolling.
To be ready for spontaneous moments, keep the
camera going! Pick the right time to start and let the
camera warm-up, so the video begins before the actual
action you want to capture. If you try to fire up the
camera when you see your kid sprinting toward the
goal, ready to take a shot in the championship soccer
game, it's likely you'll miss it. If you've been filming
since half-time, though, you'll be ready.
18
Production or shooting phase
4. Stay as steady as possible.
Shakiness and blurriness
from an unsteady hand can make
important video footage frustrating
and unwatchable. Sit down while
shooting and steady your arms on
your knees, if necessary, or invest
in a tripod that'll keep the camera
steady on the ground.

Trivia
Rocky Balboa's sprint up

Time! the stairs of the

Philadelphia Art Museum
in Rocky is a scene that
would have once been
impossible to film. Camera
innovator Garrett Brown
made it possible when he
invented the Steadicam, a
body-mounted camera that
stabilizes handheld shots.
The movie also won the
Best Picture.

20
Production or shooting phase
5. Get as close as possible if you want to
capture sound.
If you're just using the built-in mic on your
camera and not trying to capture sound with
other microphones, you'll have a lot of trouble
hearing the action unless you're quite close.

21
Post-production Phase
1. Upload your footage onto your computer.
After you've shot the raw footage,
upload it onto your computer and edit it. Most
cameras can be connected via USB cords or
by an SD card that you can remove and load
into a (usually) USB converter. Follow the
instructions for the particular camera that
you've used.

22
👉Post-production Phase
2. Download editing software.
Unless you shot everything perfectly and want to
keep your video as is, it's best to use user-friendly
editing software that will allow you to trim, adjust, add
music, and otherwise clean-up the raw video that you've
captured. If you want to add captions or boost the audio,
you'll need to open the footage with some kind of
editing software.

23
👉Post-production Phase
3. Cut out unnecessary or confusing bits.
When you've loaded the footage into the
software, start cutting out anything that you don't want
in the final product. Cut repetitive scenes, or trim down
everything to the bare essentials and start organizing
your best footage. Depending on the kind of video you
want to make, you may want more shaky and informal
footage, or you may want a clean and professional
product. Use your judgment depending on the project.
24
👉Post-production Phase
4. Add transitions to smoothen out the final video.

Most editing software includes lots of options that

allow you to smoothly transition from one scene into
another scene, making it easy to move things around
and make changes. Avoid hard or disjunctive cuts,
unless that's an effect you hope to include in the video
for some reason.

25
👉Post-production Phase
5. Add sound effects or music.
If it fits the video you want to make, upload music
that's on your computer and use it in the background as
a soundtrack to montage moments in your video, or take
the sound out entirely if it's not important, and use
music in its place. This can be a good way to liven up
camera phone videos that might not have audio as good
as the quality of its video.

26
👉Post-production Phase
6. Finalize the project.

When you're finished, finalize the project by

exporting the finished video into a video file, like a .avi
or a .mov. Open in a playback software like Windows
Media Player or Quicktime and check out your work.

27
👉Post-production Phase
7. Share your video.

After you've exported the file, consider how you'd

like to share your work with others. You could burn your
video onto a DVD to provide physical copies to people.
This is a particularly good option if you've taken
wedding footage or footage of another kind of private
event that was attended by a small group of people who
would be interested in the footage.
28
 The take
away…You don’t need to break a bank for high-end
cameras, equipment and computers to produce a video
clip. Try to maximize whatever is available.

29
📌Just remember:
“It’s not the
‘pana’;
it’s the Indian.”
