Video Production
Video production is a phased process that includes preparation, filming, and post-production, aiming to create a work that combines visual and auditory elements. This process involves multiple steps such as story scripting, storyboard creation, voiceover writing, filming, animation effects, video editing, prop making, character design, voice acting and music scoring, and location selection. It can involve various types of videos, including commercials, documentaries, and movies.
