Advice on how to save time and money when producing a corporate video without compromising the quality.

Save time and money!

When you first contact us at Peak Vision TV regarding your corporate video, we will need to have a good idea of what you want. Merely telling us you want a corporate video and asking how much it will cost is like asking us how long a piece of string is.

The cost of producing a corporate video can range from as little as £700 to over £70, 000 depending on the specification and therefore it is not possible to generalise and give you a price without taking your individual requirements into consideration.

It can save you time and money by giving some thought to your requirements for your corporate video. For example, the purpose, the target audience, your message. If you can provide us with a Brief we will be able to provide you with a more accurate quote and it may save you both time and money.

How much do I need to budget?

The answer to this question often determines whether the project is likely to go ahead or not. In actual fact whatever your budget, Peak Vision TV will make every effort to tailor a production to meet your requirements, whilst remaining within your budget. We can advise on how to make the right choices to enable you to produce a corporate video within your budget without having to compromise on the quality of the production.

Influential factors to consider when looking at the cost of a corporate video:

• the number of locations - in order to impress a prospective customer you may want to film most of the programme on your main site but also show a number of other sites. However, you may need to take into consideration that the more locations there are, the more expensive the production of your corporate video is likely to be.
  
  
• a voice-over or presenter - this will relate to the purpose of your video. There is little point in having spoken narration if your video is for your exhibition stand as it is unlikely to be heard, but on the other hand if your video is for sending out to prospective customers you may want a presenter or voice -over. You may consider it essential to have a well-known presenter or voice-over in order to present your message but if if you merely require a talented voice-over or artist regardless of celebrity status this will keep the cost down considerably.
  
  
• actors- it can be an advantage to have actors in front of the camera rather than members of the staff who may be camera-shy. However, you may need to have skilled members of your workforce demonstrating techniques. It really is a case of prioritising your requirements in order that you do not compromise the quality of your corporate video in order to save money.
  
  
• titles, graphics and animations - if your video is for exhibition use you are likely to need more in the way of titles and graphics in order to enhance the vision often taking the place of the need for a voice-over or presenter as the impact of your message needs to be visually-based. However, if you are having a presenter or voice-over you may not see the need for much in the way of titles and animations therefore keeping the cost down in this area.
  
  
• duration- this will be dependent on the purpose of your corporate video but there is often little need for a long corporate video which will cost more. If your production is too long the audience are likely to loose interest, whereas a shorter programme which clearly presents the message without loosing impact is more likely to meet your objectives whilst remaining within your budget.
  
  
• music - do you need a well-known pieces of music that will incur substantial copyright fees, a piece of music written specifically for your production, again taking a large part of your budget , or will a piece of library music fulfill your objectives whilst at the same time staying well within your financial limits. This is an area in which you do not have to compromise on quality to ensure the overall cost of the production remains within your budget.

Beware - do not compromise the quality!

Although you may want to keep within the limitations of your budget and may find it necessary to consider above points carefully, there are areas of the production of your corporate video in which you should not compromise, such as the script. You may find production companies that will make your corporate video for a lower price by not bothering with a script - beware! The script is an essential element of the production process and you may be compromising the quality of your programme by going down that route. When commissioning a corporate video there are a number of pitfalls that you should be aware of.
