==Video production for distance education ==
It is the art and service of creating content, [[video editing]] and delivering a finished [[video]] product as is the case of distributing [[television program]]s for [[broadcast syndication]]. This can include production of [[television commercial]]s, [[corporate video]]s, event videos, [[wedding video]]s and special-interest [[home video]]s. A video production can range in size from a family making [[home movies]] with a [[prosumer]] [[camcorder]], a one solo [[camera operator]] with a [[professional video camera]] in a [[single-camera setup]] (aka a "one-man band"), a [[videographer]] with a sound person, to a [[multiple-camera setup]] shoot in a [[television studio]] to a [[production truck]] requiring a whole [[television crew]] for an [[electronic field production]] (EFP) with a [[production company]] with [[set construction]] on the [[backlot]] of a [[movie studio]].
Video production for distance education is the process of capturing, editing, and presenting educational material specifically for use in on-line education. Teachers integrate best practice teaching techniques to create scripts, organize content, capture video footage, edit footage using computer based video editing software to deliver final educational material over the Internet. It differs from other types of video production in at least three ways:<ref name="moore2012">Moore, M. G., & Kearsley, M. G. (2012). 'Distance education: A systems view of on line learning'.

Styles of shooting include on a [[tripod]] (aka "sticks")<ref>http://journalism.ukings.ca/journalism_3925.html</ref> for a locked-down shot; hand-held to attain a more jittery [[camera angle]] or looser shot, incorporating [[Dutch angle]], [[Whip pan]] and whip zoom; on a [[Jib (camera)|jib]] that smoothly soars to varying heights; and with a [[Steadicam]] for smooth movement as the camera operator incorporates [[cinematic techniques]] moving through rooms, as can be seen in [[Pulp Fiction]] and [[The Shining (film)|The Shining]].

==Internet video production==
Corporate video production covers a wide range of purposes from corporate communication, training and education, videotaping conferences and conventions, products and services, and sales. A popular type of corporate shoot is known as the "candids" or "happy-face" video, in which a multiple-day event is covered by a video crew, including speakers, break-out sessions, awards ceremonies and local recreational activities in which the conventioneers participate. An on-site editor then creates a short video presentation that is shown before the close of the convention. Many associations take advantage of the convention venue to gather interviews of their principals, setting up a green screen or other type of background in a secluded room.

Video production is the process of producing video content. It is the equivalent of filmmaking, but with video recorded either as analog signals on videotape, digitally in video tape or as computer files stored on optical discs, hard drives, SSDs, magnetic tape or memory cards instead of film stock.

Video production for distance education

[edit]

Video production for distance education is the process of capturing, editing, and presenting educational material specifically for use in on-line education. Teachers integrate best practice teaching techniques to create scripts, organize content, capture video footage, edit footage using computer based video editing software to deliver final educational material over the Internet. It differs from other types of video production in at least three ways:[2]

  • It augments traditional teaching tools used in on-line educational programs.
  • It may incorporate motion video with sound, computer animations, stills, and other digital media.
  • Capture of content may include use of cell phone integrated cameras and extend to commercial high-definition Broadcast quality cameras.

Webcasting is also being used in education for distance learning projects; one innovative use was the DiveLive programs.[3]

Increasing internet speeds, the transition to digital from physical formats such as tape to file-based media and the availability of cloud-based video services has increased use of the internet to provision services previously delivered on-premise in the context of commercial content creation for example video editing. In some cases the lower costs of equivalent services in the cloud has driven adoption and in others the greater scope for collaboration and time savings.[4][5]

Individual Internet marketing videos are primarily produced in-house and by small media agencies, while a large volume of videos are produced by big media companies, crowdsourced production marketplaces, or in scalable video production platforms.[6]
