FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Documentary video production is an effective way to emotionally engage with audiences, raise funds, and share your mission and story. It’s also a powerful tool for communicating complex ideas in a short amount of time. Often, our clients utilize documentary videos to explain their services, find new donors, communicate with their existing donor base, or make special announcements. To put it simply, documentary video production is the best tool to communicate with a global audience, showcase the change your organization is making, and create an authentic and emotional connection with your target audience.

Documentary video production can help organizations raise funding, increase awareness, and help explain their services. Video can also be used for recruiting new volunteers and staff, explaining complex ideas in a simple form, and training employees. Some of our clients use video to explain complex and tedious processes to clients, saving their employees massive amounts of time. Others want to keep their online messaging entertaining and engaging. No matter what your organization’s goals are, video is a powerful support tool.

Most of the documentary videos Edge of Cinema produces help to share organization’s stories, assist with fundraising, explain services and programs, and video testimonials to showcase the effectiveness of those services and programs. We also produce videos for content marketing campaigns across popular social media channels to help with brand awareness. Our team also produces a wide variety of animation styles, which can be used to explain complex ideas in a fun and entertaining format. If you’re not sure what style of documentary video will be most effective for your organization, give us a call and we can discuss your goals to identify a custom video production strategy.

The cost of documentary video production depends on various factors, such as the type of video, length, complexity, whether the video will require travel, or if it can be produced remotely with existing assets like photos and cell phone videos. Prices can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, but generally, a 2-minute on-location documentary video production falls in the range of $2,500-$3,000 plus travel. If you have a project in mind, schedule a short creative planning meeting with one of our creative directors and we’ll provide a custom proposal for your organization’s campaign.

The time it takes to produce a documentary video depends on the type, length, and complexity of the video, as well as travel requirements. An in-studio video can take a few days to produce, and a complex international documentary can take several months to years. Edge of Cinema’s average turnaround for a 1-2 minute on-location video is 2-3 weeks from the date of production. If you have a tight deadline to hit, schedule a short call or meeting with one of our creative directors and we’ll give you an accurate timeline. Edge of Cinema also offers a rush service, where our team will work nights and weekends to ensure your video is complete for your deadline.

Pre-production is the planning phase of video production. After a collaborating creative meeting, we’ll write your script, shot list, production schedule, cast actors, scout and book locations, and make sure we have everything we need for a successful day of production. For animated videos, we also produce style frames and storyboards to ensure the final animation will follow your vision for the project. Pre-production is the most important stage of video production, and Edge of Cinema specializes in making sure your video’s messaging is designed to reach your goals, impact your target audience, and most importantly generate results and a return on investment.

Production is the filming phase of video production, which involves capturing your video footage and audio. Edge of Cinema’s team will follow your script and shot list to capture every element of the video (and usually some additional impromptu content). Our cinematography team will set up lights and motion camera rigs for each shot, giving your video an elite and cinematic look, and our audio team will focus on capturing clean and clear audio. The director and producer will manage the set during production, ensuring we capture everything we need while also making sure our talent gives their best performance. We encourage all of our clients to be on set for production. It’s fun, and you’ll get to see the making of filmmaking in action.

Post-production is the editing phase of video production, which involves tasks such as color grading, sound design, visual effects, and rendering. Our editing team will gather all of the footage captured in production, and following the script and shot list, they’ll assemble the video for your review. To keep your video’s branding in sync with your existing marketing efforts, we ask for branding guides and high-quality logos ahead of time. Edge of Cinema includes two rounds of subjective edits in our video production packages, but often with our collaborative creative process, we hit the nail on the head on the first cut.

A video marketing strategy is a plan that outlines how videos will be used to achieve specific business goals, such as increasing sales or brand awareness. Part of our pre-production process is to understand exactly what you want your video to achieve. With the goals mapped out, we can funnel every other stage of the video production process through them, ensuring the final video will speak to the intended audience, convey your message efficiently, and most importantly engage your viewers. Our digital marketing services are designed to assist you with the launch of your video. If you need help creating a landing page (or redesigning your website to match your marketing goals), or want to promote your video across paid marketing channels or on TV, let us know and we’ll help you prepare for a successful video launch. 

The success of a video production campaign can be measured through metrics such as views, engagement, shares, leads, sales, and return on investment (ROI). Let our creative team know what you hope to achieve with your video! We want to tailor your video production campaign to meet your goals and provide a strong return on investment. A big part of our pre-production creative planning meetings is to outline your goals to ensure your video achieves them.

Whether you’re an experienced marketer in need of a production and strategy partner, or a non-profit looking for a documentary video production company to help develop effective messaging, Edge of Cinema can help you navigate the production and video marketing process.

Since our inception in 2009, Edge of Cinema has been partnering with businesses and non-profits of all sizes to meet their documentary video production and marketing needs.
