Video production mistakes can be costly. A poorly-executed video can cause a company to lose customers, or worse, it could cost them their reputation.
To avoid these mistakes, you need to know what they are and how to avoid them.
Video production is a complex process that requires precision, creativity and skill. There are many things that can go wrong in the process, so it’s important to be aware of what mistakes to avoid.
Below are some of the most common video production mistakes to avoid:
Not having a script or storyboard
Poor lighting
Bad audio quality
Poor video quality
1. Poorly edited video: Video editing is an art and takes a lot of time to master it. You should not take shortcuts with editing or cut corners in order to save time. The end product will be disappointing and you will have to spend more time on the post-production process than you would have if you had taken your time in editing the video properly from the start.
2. Shoot without a script: It is important to have a script for your video before you shoot it, so that all of your shots are well planned and coordinated, which in turn helps with continuity as well as clarity of message.
3. Poor lighting: Lighting is a key element when shooting videos, and if it is not done right then there will be no way to fix it later on in post-production because there will be no detail in the footage and it won’t look good at all on screen.
4. Bad audio quality: Bad audio quality is one of the most common problems in video production. There are three main reasons why bad audio quality is a problem; It can be difficult to understand what people are saying, the audio can be distracting when it’s too loud or too soft and/or poor sound quality can make viewers lose interest in the video.
