Pre-Production Of A Video Analysis

2.1.1.1.1 Pre-Production of a Video
Pre-production is the process before shooting the video. Written in the book The Video Maker Guide to Video Production (2004) that good writing is a start of good video. The moment we start recording something with a camera, we are starting to tell a story. Whether if one is shooting the science fiction, documenting a wedding or producing a short public service announcement, they are still telling a story. So before beginning, the video maker should first consider what message is going to be conveyed, and then sort the audience. If the video maker do not know what they are trying to say or whom they are trying to reach, it will be hard to get the message delivered. A long description and dialogue in a video

Act III is the unit of action that resolves the
Press (2004) defined rule of thirds as a basic rule of composition. It will give the video maker ideas on where to place the subject on the frame.

First, imagine that there are two vertical and two horizontal lines dividing the viewfinder into thirds, like tic-tac-toe board. The rule of thirds will suggest that the main subject in the shot have to be on one of the points where the imaginary lines intersect. The result of the image will be a lot stronger than if the subject is simply placed in the crosshairs, here is the picture
