Documentary Video Production
So you’ve decided to take the plunge and hire a video production company to guide your Documentary video production needn’t be a scary thing. We’re talking video using the principle of cinematic montage – the linking of related and relating images – to build a compelling point of view or argument. Ah, but not just any old images will do. This montage should take visual and audio, then using repetition and dissonance create point and counterpoint. In a Web 2.0 environment, that means using sound, voice, image, graphics and found materials to structure meaning. The production component of that particular challenge is generating and sifting through live interviews, video footage, print support materials, still photographs, clippings, graphics, music and a myriad of other considerations in order to shape that story into an inspirational, educational and engaging finished product. After all, it’s all about documenting. Showing and telling are at the very root of documentary video production.
