PRE-PLANNING #
The first part is pre-planning, where we will develop the project’s strategy and goals. The team at Malaika Media discusses these questions to create a full brief.
- What is the photos/video’s purpose?
- What are the messages you need to convey?
- Who is the target audience?
- What is the available budget?
- Where will we distribute the video?
- Are there non-negotiable locations or video elements?
PRE-PRODUCTION #
Answering the questions from the pre-planning session lets me begin the pre-production stage.
- Researching: The team will learn more about the products or services to determine the best way to highlight them in the videos and photographs.
- Storyboarding: This involves planning out every shot, including the story’s flow, camera angles, and prop staging.Â
- Scripting: This part focuses on seamlessly weaving dialogues or voiceovers into the videos to convey the necessary information.
- Recce : involves the team at Malaika Media t visit the locations.
PRODUCTION #
We use state-of-the-art equipment and the most recent shooting techniques, and special lighting to film video content. This is where we would shoot the primary footage, interviews, brolls, voiceovers, and other behind-the-scenes shots.
Our team will follow everything in the pre-production to avoid reshoots. In this way, we can produce everything according to schedule and deliver your video within the target time.
POST-PRODUCTION #
As a hands-on photographers and videographers still very much involved in the post-production phase to ensure the final product reflects those discussed from pre-planning to production.
- Editing: We choose clips, trim, splice, and combine them to create a cohesive output. We also have a team of editors who can add graphics, animations, subtitles, and visual effects.
- Sound mixing: We ensure the video sounds as good as it visually looks. Sound mixing involves layering audio on top of the video clips, adjusting the volume, and adding sound effects.
- Distributing: Malaika Media provides the necessary files when handing over the final videos and Photos so you can distribute the to your platform and other networks
- Photo Editing: the photos are colour corrected to from RAW to usable Jpgs.
