Video Production Questionnaire

Confused about where to start with your video?

We understand that video production is hugely variable and as such can be a confusing arena to venture into for the first time. Also what may suit one business may not suit another and as such an off the shelf solution may conflict with your ideas. We have designed this pre-production guidance questionnaire to:

                         Help you to understand your own proposal in more depth.

                         Help us understand your proposal in more depth, so as to give you a more           accurate quotation & proposal.

                         Help you to gain better understanding of the video production process.

                         To help us give you exactly what you want from your video project.

                         Ultimately help save you time & money trying to piece together your video ideas.

Please allow up to 15 minutes to complete our pre-production guidance questionnaire. On completion we will be in touch to give you a quotation & proposal.

SECTION TWO: PROJECT BUDGET

As each video is tailored to your unique needs, we ask for you to provide a price range so we can ascertain the services your budget will cover (such as venues, crew members, voiceovers, specialist equipment etc.)

What budget do you have in mind for your video?

This project I aim to not spend any money on it as it will not require any special effects more than I have available to me via my editing software - Final Cut Pro. 

SECTION THREE: PURPOSE & AUDIENCE

This section lists all the possible uses & audiences for your video. What is the ultimate goal for the video? (highlighted in bold text are the ones I feel this applies most to)

What is the purpose of the video?

·      Direct Sales – General Public

·      Direct Sales – Specialist/B2B

What are the key objectives of your video?

  - This has been answered in my other blog post "Questions To Establish The Main Objectives" 

SECTION FOUR: VIDEO DURATION

Video length can vary hugely from a short online promotional video to longer, more in depth training videos. The general rule is the shorter amount of time someone has interacted with your business the shorter and sweeter the video should be. - The text in bold is the time I feel is most appropriate. 

Duration of the video

·      3 minutes to 4 minutes

·      up to 5 minutes

·      over 5 minutes

Voiceover Script Ideas

Hi, my name is _____. My job here at the Ace Ceilings Facility is _____ and I'd like to share with you the process on working with us and how we'll go from start to finish in order to give you the best product that I'm sure you'll love.

Lets take a look around:
(Section below was taken from Planning - Relevant information describing each sections would be spoken to give the audience the right information needing while discussing each section).

• CGI - Images of possible looks that can be shown to a client so that they know what they're trying to achieve. 
• 3D Design - The next step is to finalise what the actual product is going to look like and that the client is happy. This system is usually combined by random shapes crammed together to form a structure. 
• Prototyping - Producing a real life product, usually in a much smaller version of itself so that the client can move around and fully appreciate what the product that is going to be made. 
• Manufacturing: - Raw Materials (Steel, Aluminium etc. Just having the correct resources is very important as then you won't be able to make anything from it), Punching and Perforating (Adding the right texture to make it the most sustainable and professional looking as well making it more suitable - such as punching holes in the metal so that the product is lighter), Folding and Forming (Cutting it into the right shape and folding on the corners so that it can be assembled easily rather than wielding it all together to begin with therefore, creating a much larger piece which is harder to process and ship), Welding and Assembling (If there are smaller pieces it's easier to be welded so that each piece is more secure. Even more so if these parts are not seen as it's not particularly clean and professional looking so this is more common on the pieces that "go under the bonnet"), Cleaning (Anything that need dusting down and or polishing so that it looks nice and appealing to an audience) and finally, Painting (If the. client has asked for a particular colour this is when it is painted. As well as this, not many people want to see the raw colour which is normally a dull grey or silver - this promotes the professionalism and extra service provided). After all of this the product is of course dried then packaged and posted to the client where it will be assembled, usually by another company. 

Facts and figures?:

Overall:

Risk Assessment

Factors of Risk During Filming on Set:

• Audiences? No, the only people present were employees and myself.
• Camera Equipment? Only if it was set on the floor however my rig was small and hand-held.
• Confined Spaces? No the factory was nice and open with enough space for each section. 

Note - My different style of answering the question but it still answers it...

• There was more than a normal supply of gas and electricity but it is due to high powered equipment, which is handled safely by professionals.
• There was flammable materials but it was never a problem.
• There was a lot of machinery but it was only used by the employees. 
• There was a lot of noise but not enough to use ear plugs.
• There is no night operation.
• There is no special effects.
• All vehicles move very slowly and if not it is due to them not being in the way of people working.
• There was no working over seas conducted. 

Overall the environment was safe to me but there are dangerous things there. However, as these were handled by professionals I was not at risk what-so-ever as it was treated strictly and it was obvious that non-professionals wouldn't try to use the equipment. 

Proof of Contact With Client

Apologies for the incorrect order or if these are confusing in anyway, The laptop loading them in in this order and I feel as long as they are all there then it is sufficient evidence.
