About This eBook
There are four parts in this eBook: Learning Strategy, Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production. The reader is guided through each of these stages as they go through page after page of useful tips.
Phase 1: Creative Brief/Learning Strategy
The eBook begins with an explanation of what a creative brief actually is. This is vital, as this is the document that will serve as the backbone of your project. This blueprint will help your entire team be on the same page. The eBook offers a list of questions that will help you form your brief, some good tips that will help you set up a content outline ASAP, and brilliant examples that will make the entire process crystal clear. The creative brief will be something you are going to be referring to until the end of this journey, so it's important that you give it adequate time.
Phase 2: Pre-Production
Pre-production is such an important step when you are making a training video. There are many things you have to take into account, but the eBook provides a handy list to keep track of everything. I believe that this is the most challenging of all the phases as it deals with a variety of different elements. However, if you are aware of the process, you will be able to coordinate everything as needed and move to the next phase without any serious issues.
Phase 3: Production
Production is when you create assets such as video, music, sound effects, graphics, photographs, and voice-over narration. It is the main phase where you create the assets you are going to need. This is where all the planning from Phase 2 will finally pay off. Phase 3 is one of the most exciting phases because you get to see your ideas take form.
Phase 4: Post-Production
Finally, post-production is when you assemble all the assets you created into a final training video. This includes editing and implementation. This is the final phase, the one that brings every little thing together. The outcome of this phase will be your training video.
