- Music is a Heartbeat
All good videos require good music. Without music, your video looks incomplete. Viewers won’t feel like watching the video. So there should be some good sound. When sound is good, it usually goes unnoticed because it matches what we expect to hear. But when the sound quality is bad, it is obvious. Not only is it distracting, but it cheapens the quality of what could have been a great promotional video. So care should be taken while selecting music for your video. You don’t need studios for this but for music, you can go to sites like (https://www.jamendo.com/?language=en) or (http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/video) do download it for free.
- Voice Over-The Rescuer
Video and music may confuse the viewers or the audience won’t know the purpose of the video, so you can add voice to guide the audience and convey the right message, which can be done by yourself or you can look at resources like Freelancer, where you can find new voice over artists who can help you in getting the voice overdone. Filmora Video Editor or windows moviemaker is some software that will help you to add your voice. There are also some mobile apps on the play store which will help you with the same ie: dubsmash or MadLipz.
- Scripting
Scripting the video means documenting the idea of the video. Scripting helps to deliver messages correctly to the end viewers without confusing them. The video should be properly sequenced and therefore script is vital for video. Scripting is one more element that you can do on your own or even use a freelancer to find a writer.
- Video editing
Video editing is the next phase in video production. Once you have your script and are done with recording and selection of music, the next step is editing the video for the final release. You have to put everything in place and this can be done by video editing tools which can be done by yourself and you can use open-source video editors like openshot (www.openshot.org ), which you can download and edit on your own or you can outsource the editing also to freelancers available on sites like freelancer or Fiverr.
So here are some ways that you can use to ensure that you are able to produce videos for your products and services in a cost-effective manner. While the result may be somewhat amateurish, this would be still better than having nothing at all.
