Video production is a journey. This is true not only for projects as they move from ideation to post, but also for you as a videographer, journalist, filmmaker or content creator.
This journey is marked by many milestones. Some appear in the form of time-saving breakthroughs when you light a scene, operate a camera, or hold a boom. They pop up every time you learn a bit of practical knowledge from a peer, tutor, or blog writer. They can happen on set, in the theatre, or on the sofa when a scene you’re watching inspires you.
These milestones—the knowledge obtained—make us better at our craft and ensure that our next production will be our best one yet. This connect2 article shares five such milestones — discoveries, bits of info, things to consider — that most of us encounter sooner or later. Each is included due to its game-changing power to elevate projects.
