••1 min read•Media7 EditorialHow to prepare a video production brief
The information a brief needs for accurate budgeting, scripting and efficient production.
A strong brief explains the project objective, target audience and expected outcome. Instead of saying “we need a beautiful video,” define the business problem the video should solve. Include a short company overview, key message, audience, platforms, duration, deliverables, location, shoot date, deadline and references. Separate essential requirements from optional preferences to improve budget planning. Languages, subtitles, voice-over, talent and drone needs should also be stated early. A clear brief does not limit creativity. It helps the team focus its creativity on the right problem.
