Choosing a production company

This can be difficult, each production company claiming to be the best but in reality providing a vast range of services and all quoting a variety of prices. Here are some points to consider when choosing a production company:

does the production company have a set of standards to which they work?

For example, some production companies produce broadcast programmes and therefore will be used to working to broadcasting standards, whilst a company that only produces videos for weddings and corporate videos is unlikely to be working to the same high standards.
what sort of equipment will be used for your corporate video?

Some production companies are kitted out for broadcast work and therefore only use professional broadcast equipment for all of their productions. Their cameras will be of the standards required by the large broadcasters, and they will be used to arriving at a location and setting up lighting and audio equipment prior to filming. Others will arrive with a small hand-held camcorder, and no lighting or audio equipment and therefore will be unable to match the quality of images or sound of the broadcast production company.
what will the service consist of - a script and storyboard?

Check what the production company is really providing as part of their service in making your corporate video as this can vary greatly from one production company to another. A script is the most important working document when producing your video as it forms the foundation upon which the whole programme is built. It is a constant source of reference around which the whole of the pre-production stage revolves.

A script should show how the programme will be developed and the shots and audio to be used throughout the programme. A copy of the narrative may also be produced as a separate document as supplied for the voice-over or presenter.

A storyboard is a visual representation of the video, based on the script and therefore can often be easier to follow. The storyboard is not an essential document for a corporate production unless the message is dramatized and involves a number of actors and props. In this case it can be particularly useful when developing the shooting schedule and when filming on location.

arrange to meet the producer to discuss your requirements

Not only should this meeting be very informative for you, but you also will get the opportunity to see if you can work with the production company, particularly if you meet with the people who will be working with you on your corporate video.
managing to keep within your budget

You will no doubt have an idea of the budget allocated for your corporate video and therefore be looking for a quotation within your budget. When considering which production company to choose, you may well be quoted a range of differing figures. If you are tempted by a competitve price do check you will be getting a quality product. Insist on a breakdown of the budget before signing a contract. If you are not satisfied with the figure quoted it is always worth trying to negotiate with the production company. There may be the possibility of some discount or reduction in the costs.
