This guide takes you through each stage of the process, from the development of the idea to going to market, so that you may create a video that really connects with your audience.
1. Define Your Goals and Target Audience
In each great commercial, the purpose is defined from the start. Ask what it is you wish your video to do: brand awareness, product promotion, or lead generation. Once you have your goal in mind, put your audience in the picture. What you are talking about will shape your tone, visuals, and messaging. A commercial for young professionals will have a very different look and feel from one targeted at families or corporate clients.
2. Develop a Compelling Concept and Script
Your video is the base of your concept. It should match your brand’s voice and put across a clear message in a short attention grabbing format. Think up thoughts that present your unique selling points as well as emotional appeal.
Next, put together a robust script. Keep it short, genuine, and dynamic. At the very beginning of the script which is what will be called the hook make it attention grabbing. Also don’t ignore to put in a definite call to action (CTA) which will get the viewers to go to your site or buy what you’re selling.

Post-production is what turns raw footage into a finished product. Editing, sound design, and color grading, which in turn help to shape your story’s emotional impact.
