9 Tips For Stretching Your Video Production Budget
Following the 9 tips below will ensure that you can extend your budget without compromising on content: 1. Use only a few Filming Locations Shooting time gets larger as the number of locations do. If shooting time gets larger, your video crew will be required to be working for longer and this costs money. Choose which locations are essential and which are “would be nice to have”. Only pick the locations that are absolutely necessary…it will cut the amount of film crew hours it takes to film your video. 2. Minimise The Distance Between Filming Locations When possible filming locations should be closely positioned to each other. This can reduce transport costs, and the time that it will take for a crew to pack up and unpack. 3. Use Footage You Already Have Check to see if there is any other footage that can be re-used in your new video. Doing so could increase important energy and budget. It is important to clear up copyright issues surrounding this footage before of using it. 4. Get Approval From Your Colleagues The “Final Cut” is the ultimate chance you will have to make changes. Afterwards, any more changes will be charged. This means, it is essential to check that each of your colleagues is satisfied with the final cut before you confirm this with your production company. 5. Think Hard About Your Script Try avoid making your video time specific to prevent it from rapidly dating. If you are forced to re-shoot or re-record a voiceover you will definitely pay more than is necessary. 6. Film At Your Own Premises Filming at your own premises makes for a more genuine product and eliminated the cost of expensive filming studios. 7. Don’t Waste Valuable Filming Time Don’t let any time go to waste on the shoot day. Spare minutes can be essential to create important additional footage. 8. Reduce Distribution Costs Publishing online opens your video to a large audience and can reduce the cost of distributing elsewhere. Methods such as DVD & USB sticks can be costly if shared with a large audience. 9. Monitor progress Remotely If you don’t plan aren’t going to be appearing in the video then you don’t need to waste time by attending; your production company will deal with any problems and communicate with you throughout the editing process.
