Understanding the various types of video production can significantly enhance your brand’s engagement and marketing efforts. Here, we explore 10 types of video production to elevate your strategy.
Corporate Video Production
Corporate video production is one of the essential types of video production aimed at businesses and organizations. These videos help in conveying a company’s message, showcasing its products or services, and establishing a strong brand identity. Common types include company introductions, training videos, and testimonials. Corporate videos are vital for building trust and connecting with stakeholders.
Here’s an example of a corporate video production that we created for an Orlando law firm.
Event Video Production
Event video production captures live events such as conferences, seminars, weddings, and parties. These videos preserve the moments and experiences of these occasions, making them accessible to a broader audience. They often feature highlights, interviews, and candid footage that convey the atmosphere and emotions of the event.
For example, watch the video highlighting Tairo International’s Beauty Advisor Seminar, captured by Lasting Blueprint Productions. This video preserves key moments and conveys the event’s atmosphere and emotions, aligning with the description of capturing highlights, interviews, and candid footage.
Educational Videos
Educational videos simplify complex subjects and make them more engaging, falling under one of the many types of video production that serve diverse needs. Schools, universities, and online learning platforms use these videos to improve the learning experience. They can range from traditional lectures to animated explanations. For example, the video “Studying Culture Through Food: UCF Research in 60 Seconds” features Professor Ty Matejowsky from the UCF College of Sciences. This concise and informative video exemplifies how educational content, as a type of video production, can effectively communicate complex research findings in an engaging format.
Industry-Specific Videos
Industry-specific videos are customized for specialized sectors, providing valuable insights and guidance. For instance, medical institutions might need instructional videos for procedures, while automotive manufacturers may need assembly tutorials.
Informational Videos
Informational videos are designed to deliver facts, news, or updates on various topics. They include formats such as news broadcasts, how-to tutorials, and product reviews, all aimed at educating viewers and providing timely insights. For example, the video by Amy Fillinger provides valuable tips for staying cool at Universal Orlando during hot summer days. It delivers practical advice to help visitors make the most of their trip without overheating, aligning with the goal of delivering facts, news, or updates.
Documentary Videos or Films
Documentary videos explore real-life subjects, issues, or events. These non-fiction films provide in-depth storytelling and often aim to raise awareness about social, cultural, or environmental topics. Among the various types of video production, documentaries uniquely engage audiences with authentic, impactful narratives. For instance, this behind-the-scenes look at the Orlando Magic’s 35th season explores the team’s experiences and challenges, perfectly aligning with the documentary format.
Brand Video Production
Brand videos focus on reinforcing a company’s brand identity. They highlight the brand’s values, mission, and unique selling points through emotional narratives and testimonials, creating a memorable brand image.
Commercial Video Production
Commercial videos are crafted to advertise products or services directly. They focus on capturing attention quickly through compelling storytelling and creative visuals, aiming to engage viewers and drive sales. These videos are ideal for use on television, social media ads, and online platforms where immediate consumer action is desired. They are effective in building brand awareness and creating a memorable impression.
For example, Dunkin’ Donuts premiered an ad during Super Bowl LVIII featuring Ben Affleck. The commercial creatively showcases Dunkin’s new iced coffee drink and humorously suggests that anything is possible when you run on Dunkin’, effectively capturing attention and driving sales.
Promotional Video Production
Promotional videos highlight a product, service, event, or cause through demonstrations and customer testimonials. Their primary goal is to persuade the audience to take action, such as making a purchase or attending an event. These videos are commonly used on websites, social media channels, email marketing campaigns, and at events. They are effective for generating interest and encouraging specific actions through informative and persuasive content.
Take, for instance, the “Winning Isn’t For Everyone” promo video featuring Kevin Durant. This video highlights Durant’s achievements and position as USA Basketball’s all-time leading scorer, using compelling narrative and high-impact visuals to engage viewers and elevate the Nike KD brand.
