Video production as a stage of project development involves the process of capturing footage by recording video, whether that be for a documentary or commercial purposes. During this stage, video production professionals are responsible for everything from capturing the audio to choosing and applying camera angles, lighting and all other production tasks such as direction of paid actors, using drones to capture aerial footage etc. The Production stage of content creation is the actual filming of video of the content you are in the process of creating. During the production process, video production professionals have to ensure that the camera is angled correctly, lighting levels are appropriate and sound quality remains high and clear. This all goes into determining how video will be edited later on during the post-production phase. Production may also include gathering additional footage for use in the video project (known as B-Roll) as well as gathering audio tracks from different sources like field recordings, live performances, or sound effects to be overlaid later in post-production.
