Advertising has many stages. From the big commercial on the big screen, to television commercials, to social media platforms like Instagram. Depending on the company’s objectives and the measured budget, a wide variety of advertising videos are commissioned and range from slim image films to elaborately produced product videos.
From client to expert
The path to the optimal TV spot begins with an intensive analysis. For example, if you want to sell a product, it is crucial to know your product on all levels and also the added value compared to the competition.
This phase of analysis, which at the same time sets the course for a successful advertising video, does not have to be done on one’s own. In this case, it is advisable to cooperate with an advertising film agency, which, together with the client, takes care of exactly these important questions. Together, a so-called USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is created. This addresses the following important questions: What makes your product or service stand out? What are the benefits compared to the competition? Products can have many advantages, such as time, money or health benefits over other brands. It is essential to know these and present them in the TV spot. Once the analytical phase has been completed, the knowledge gained from it and the formulated goals can be transferred into a concept. The advertising film agency then develops a communication solution tailored to the concept in the form of a script and storyboard, in which the style of the video is clearly evident and the audiovisual design is defined frame by frame. Once this phase is completed with the client, it can go into the production of the promotional video. How the promotional video is produced depends on the choice of medium, as illustrated below.
Have a TV spot created with film or animation
In today’s digital world, it is becoming more and more common to have a TV spot created not as a classic live-action film, but as a 2D or 3D animation. A so-called hybrid form is also common, which combines real film with animation content. Animation has the advantage over live-action film that it can visually narrate issues that are difficult to realize in front of the camera. It therefore also provides greater creative freedom for an advertising video.
The choice ultimately lies with the client.
Together with an agency, the right form of the product is found on the basis of the continuous analysis.
