4. Equipment to make a video

As we have already discussed before that if you are hiring a professional agency, you don’t need the equipment in your bucket as they can cost you much and you will surely be spending a huge chunk of your money on this. But if you want to shoot your video then the equipment is a must-need!

The video marketing professionals use a list of high-quality pieces of equipment but herein I’ll be sharing the necessary equipment needed to kickstart the making of the marketing video:-

• A Good Quality Camera
• Tripod
• Lights
• Microphones
• Computer System and Speakers

The camera will be needed to shoot in high quality, whereas a tripod will be bringing in stability to the shot.

You have to use lights that help you make your videos in proper lighting and make it more clear and more visible to the audience. Remember, no one even prefers to watch a low-quality video. So, your video should be of that competitive quality!

You will be using the microphone to record the voiceovers or dialog (as in the scripting). You can also try realistic text to speech software for generating natural-sounding voiceovers for your videos. Thereafter, a computer system and speakers where you can have a look at what you have recorded and check it up to your preferences!

5. Shooting the Video

Again the same thing which needs to be considered again is hiring a video making and marketing agency would charge you an amount and will provide you with the end-to-end product and you don’t need to spend anything more than that but in case of shooting your video, you will again have a list of expenses.

Now, you have everything in your bucket which is necessary to make a video.

The next step in the process is shooting the video. Choose the locations (whether indoor or outdoor) which suit your script, your idea, and your imagination. Make the setup ready and shoot your video!

6. Editing the video

Now, this needs high video editing knowledge. You will be needing an expert to do this and have to hire a professional for your video editing or you need to learn this by heart!

You are ready with all the footage you shot but that can’t be marketed raw. Therefore you have to edit your video. In the editing, you have to manipulate the video. Rearrange the shots as desired. Remove the spaces. You can add a background theme music to your video. Try to make it as fascinating as you can. Try to add transitions.

As a fact, make it look eye-catchy and engaging so that people love to see your video!

There are different editing software present in the market. Some of the best-in-industry are as follows:-

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Pinnacle Studio
• Final Cut Pro X
• Adobe Premiere Elements
• Corel VideoStudio Ultimate
• Adobe After Effects

You can use them in editing your video and make it beautiful!

7. Marketing Video with proper SEO

Now it’s time to market your video. Whenever you are marketing your video over social media, upload it with proper search engine optimization! You may get some insights with the following video:

SEO of your video consists of the following:-

• Description
• Thumbnail
• Tags
• Call-to-action

So, whenever you upload the video, first of all, make the complete research and analysis on the keywords and focus on writing your title and description of the video fully clubbed with the keywords.

Then comes the thumbnail. Thumbnail is the image when the video is not yet started. The face of the video. It should be so alluring and engaging that the audience would straight away play the video and view it!

Remember:- The videos to be played are chosen by the audience depending on the thumbnail. So don’t miss it!

Tags are used to acknowledge the synonyms and the context of the keywords and video!

Call-to-action is also very important. Whenever the audience watched your video give them a path or direction to move ahead and bring them to consider. Otherwise, there’s no point!

All these things help you to market your video organically. Increase the reach of your video and maximize the ROI.

8. Enjoy!

You are done with your video! You marketed it successfully!

This is the perfect route that enables you to know how to make a marketing video!
