I am sure before landing this article you might have been surfing on YouTube or maybe you might have been swiping reels on Instagram and you might have appreciated it or criticize it but we don’t think much about the efforts behind the videos. Videos are like oxygen now we are surrounded by it and can’t live without it because videos are the modern way to communicate. Video production is increasing rapidly and it will have high demand in the future. Why?
The audience is becoming impatient as technology is consuming us, making everything easy to reach, and the use of mobile phones has been increased drastically. 3 minutes video is way easy than 10 minutes read and that’s why we are heading towards choosing “To Watch” over “To Read”.
Video production is nothing but creating videos to articulate something shareable. Video production is a huge industry that involves information, entertainment, travel, food, fitness, technology, education, and many more. Video production is being used in almost every field.
Digital marketing is the most important marketing strategy in any business these days. Digital marketing and video production combine then the growth rate of business may increase. The most common types of videos used in digital marketing are web commercials, corporate videos, product videos, product reviews, working of products videos, customer testimonials, etc. These videos are powerful enough to drive sales. Moreover than this, in the advertising industry use of videos are seamless.
Video consumption on social media is increasing conspicuously while YouTube is the second largest search engine and YouTube is full of creators. Videos can take you to wherever you want within seconds just click you will be there. Rick Steve’s videos on Europe will let you explore the culture as well as the sites in Europe. Documentaries of National geographic will educate you to become more knowledgeable. Harry will teach you the python language just within a couple of videos. You will not control your laughter when you will try a playlist of Ashish chanchlani.
Video editing is a must-skill these days and the best part is you can become a self-taught videographer just by watching videos on YouTube. I suggest watching Benn Tk’s videos for pro cinematic videos.
Wait before that one should know what is the most important part of a video? Editing. Someone said, “I trust more on a scissor than on a pencil”. If you become a pro at editing then no limits you will find. Without editing one can’t add wonders to a video. Editing can be done on a computer as well as on an Android. Advanced editing is done on a computer but if you are a beginner I suggest you start with a mobile phone and an android based editing app instead of a professional camera and software.
If you Google then you will find numerous editing apps, some are paid some are free but as a beginner, you can learn pro editing with free apps(why pay when you can get it for free).
