IN WHICH STEPS IS A FILM OR VIDEO CREATED?

Usually the following 10 steps need to be taken to produce a commissioned film production:


1. Request and Briefing:

If you are interested, please contact me by e-mail or telephone and explain your need of video content or animated films, image films, advertising clips, etc. I would also be happy to meet with you in person or via an online video conference to get as comprehensive an idea as possible of your wishes and needs.



2. Calculation and Quotation:

Based on your briefing, I will create a detailed calculation and a quotation so you can understand how the costs are composed. You can also compare my offer better with other offers.


3. Order placement:

If you agree with the offer, you authorize me to produce your film. Depending on the complexity and size of the project, an order production contract is concluded, which regulates exactly rights transfers, deadlines, partial payments, etc.


4. Conceptual work and script development:

Then a concept or sceenplay is developed or a storyboard is designed for the film project.


The production of a video or film is divided into several work steps. Here you will find information about how Drehstrom Filmproduktion produces films.

5. Approval to the final screenplay:

The different versions of the script, concept or storyboard will be presented to you on agreed dates. If agreed, one or more revisions may be made after your feedback. If you have approved the script, the production of the film may begin.


6. Pre-production:

In this phase, locations are scouted, actors get cast, the shooting is going to be planned and additional employees for the film production are going to beauto hired.


7. Production:

The film is perfectly prepared and planned, everyone is informed and ready to go: the shooting takes place. Now all necessary recordings are made for the finished movie. Filming can take only a few hours (for example, for an event video), or several days or even weeks, depending on the length of the film.

When we produce an animation film without any live action footage, all the graphic elements are now designed in detail and then animated and assembled.

8. Post-production:

The shot material gets ordered and edited. Music and additional narration texts and sounds are recorded, further animations, text embellishments are created. Picture and sound elements are compiled, colors get graded, the audio tracks get mixed.

As a client, you will be involved in all steps and can incorporate your feedback and your ideas.

After the script has been approved, the filming is planned and carried out.

9. Approval of the final cut:

When all the cuts, audio tracks, colors and texts are perfectly matched and you are satisfied with the result, you approve the final edited film.



10. Completion:

The final version of the movie will be rendered and made available to you for publication (usually via a download link or on a disk of your choice). The project data and video files will be archived if changes to the movie are desired in the future.

Now you can present your film to the public and bring amazement and enthusiasm to your customers.

HOW MUCH DOES A VIDEO OR FILM COST TO PRODUCE?

The costs for image films, advertising films, event videos, etc. are usually very different.

There are film productions and video providers that offer certain film categories at fixed package prices. You want to give the impression of a simple and transparent price structure with which you can easily compare prices from different providers and thus make a purchase decision more quickly.

The Drehstrstrom Filmproduktion takes a different approach:

INDIVIDUAL PRICES FOR CREATIVE VIDEOS AND FILMS

Every offer from Drehstrom Filmproduktion is designed and calculated individually and tailor-made based on a brief that is as specific as possible. Why?

  • By producing a video or film, we want to highlight and tell the story of the uniqueness of your company, your product, your service, etc. This also requires very individual ideas and their implementation.
  • An individual calculation ensures that you only pay for what your film project really needs. With package pricing, some customers may pay for services they don't need, while others may get more than they pay for.
  • When it comes to package prices, the question arises as to how individual the finished product can be. Is this just one video among many, all produced in the same way with the same recipe? How can this help you stand out from the crowd?
  • More attention can be paid to a customer's budget. Customers with smaller budgets can select specific elements and create an individual creative film that would be too expensive with a fixed package price.

TRANSPARENT OFFERS WITH DETAILED COST CALCULATIONS

With an offer from Drehstrom Filmproduktion, you also receive a detailed, transparent cost calculation and can therefore find out exactly about the composition of all production costs and compare prices - even with offers from package price providers.

An essential factor for an offer with a concrete calculation is a briefing from the client that is as specific as possible. You can find out how you can put together a CONCRETE BRIEFING further down on this page.

The main factors for the costs of an image video or advertising film are:

  • How many days of filming are required?
  • How many filming locations are needed and where are they?
  • How many actors will be cast in the film?
  • Are animation or other visual effects used?
  • Are there any requirements such as aerial photography, camera crane, special lighting equipment, etc.?
You will receive a detailed calculation of all costs and prices for your video or film from Drehstrom Filmproduktion.

WHY IS A CONCRETE BRIEFING SO IMPORTANT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FILM AND VIDEO?

A specific brief is crucial when commissioning a film or video production for several reasons:

1. Clear expectations and goal setting

A detailed briefing helps to avoid misunderstandings. The film production knows exactly what you want, what message should be conveyed and which target group needs to be addressed.

2. Accurate cost calculation

The more precisely the requirements are described, the more precisely the production company can calculate an offer. Without clear guidelines, unexpected additional costs may arise if changes or additions are necessary later.

3. Efficient planning and implementation

With a structured briefing, video production can better organize the shoot, post-production and the entire process. This saves time and ensures that deadlines are met.

4. Appropriate style and tonality

A good brief includes information about the desired style (e.g. factual, emotional, humorous) and visual references. This ensures that the film meets expectations visually and in terms of content.

5. Avoiding rework

If it is clear from the start which content, locations or speakers are desired, time-consuming corrections after production can be avoided. This saves time and costs.

6. Optimal use of budget

Film production can target its budget if it knows exactly which elements have priority (e.g. drone footage, animations, special music licenses).

7. Smooth communication

A briefing serves as a common basis for everyone involved. Changes or additions can build on this without causing fundamental misunderstandings.

8. Professional final product

A well-thought-out briefing leads to a better result. Video production can work more creatively and develop a customized solution that showcases your brand or product in the best possible way.

In short: A concrete briefing saves time, money and nerves - and ensures that you end up with exactly the film or video that you had in mind.

Why it is important to create a comprehensive, concrete brief when commissioning a film production company to produce a video.
