"Video production is the process of producing video content for video."
"It is the equivalent of filmmaking, but with video recorded either as analog signals on videotape, digitally in video tape or as computer files stored on optical discs, hard drives, SSDs, magnetic tape or memory cards instead of film stock."
"There are three stages of video production: pre-production, production (also known as principal photography), and post-production."
"Pre-production involves all of the planning aspects of the video production process before filming begins. This includes scriptwriting, scheduling, logistics, and other administrative duties."
"Production is the phase of video production which captures the video content (electronic moving images) and involves filming the subject(s) of the video."
"Post-production is the action of selectively combining those video clips through video editing into a finished product that tells a story or communicates a message in either a live event setting (live production), or after an event has occurred (post-production)."
"Currently, the majority of video content is captured through electronic media like an SD card for consumer-grade cameras, or on solid-state storage and flash storage for professional-grade cameras."
"Video content that is distributed digitally on the internet often appears in common formats such as the MPEG container format (.mpeg, .mpg, .mp4), QuickTime (.mov), Audio Video Interleave (.avi), Windows Media Video (.wmv), and DivX (.avi, .divx)."
