Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our Photography, live streaming, animation, film and video production services and processes.

How long should my video be?

The old writer’s rule of thumb – ‘a story should be as long as it needs to be’ seems to be outdated as dealing with modern social media channels that nurture audience expectations around duration, reward and amplify videos of particular lengths, and even outright limit or punish those videos that are too short or long.

Content achieves three different purposes: Awareness, Consideration, and Conversion. Consideration and Awareness content is most powerful when it is under 60 seconds, while Conversion content can be longer, from 2 minutes to 10 minutes in duration.

Where you post your video has an impact on how long it should be In order to have the best chance of resonating with your audience on that platform.

  • Facebook: 2-5 minutes in duration gets the best engagement. If you were wondering, vertical orientation performs better
  • Instagram: 26 second videos perform the best in-feed
  • Twitter: Recommended 15 seconds or less
  • LinkedIn: <30sec videos best for brand awareness and consideration
  • YouTube: Longer videos of 10min+ performs well (which is likely due to the fact that the platform likes to be able to insert ads, and rewards content that enables this)q

What types of videos are suitable for our business?

Malaika Media provides professional advice to enhance your video marketing approach. If you're unsure about your specific requirements, we'll conduct an initial kickoff call and ask relevant questions to ensure we guide you appropriately.

Where can I publish my video?

You have various options for publishing your video content! We'll collaborate to develop a distribution plan matching your objectives. Clients typically share videos on their websites, Amazon product pages, social media platforms, streaming channels, TV, and other relevant platforms as part of their video marketing strategies.

Is it necessary for me to have multiple videos?

The answer varies based on your objective and financial resources. While one video is better than none, a series often yields greater impact.

What is the typical production time for a video?

The duration depends on factors such as the number, length, and complexity of videos, and feedback speed. A standard timeline from kickoff to final delivery is approximately 6-8 weeks.

What countries can Malaika Media film in?

We have trusted team in Uganda and across Africa.

How long is a filming day?

Normally we do a 10hr day from 8am-6pm.

Filming hours can be varied to suit your requirements, so if you need an early morning or late night shoot just let us know and we’ll tailor our service to accommodate. Usually there are no extra charges for changing the filming times but if it requires a really early start or a really late night there may be small extra charges.

How much involvement do you need from the client side?

We try to minimise the amount of work you need to do. Unlike some companies, we don’t ask you to do storyboards or shot lists. We appreciate you’re busy and you want to hire experts who will get on with the job in hand. But we also know that you want to be kept informed with our creative decisions. At the beginning of each project we’ll ask you how involved you want to be and which creative decisions you would like to have control over.

How do I receive my videos and footage?

Now that we have completed your video, we shall share with you a link to the finished products as well asthe footage. This will be through a google drive link. If the footage is very huge about 300Gb, we recommend you provide a hard drive.
