Easy Edit Video shooting and editing CCPAC certification study guide.

The  Certified Claims Professional Accreditation Council is creating a new video study guide designed to prepare claims professionals to take their certification exam.
 

Ninety minutes in length and with nearly 200 power point slides, Easy Edit Video recorded both the host’s on-camera segments and voiceover, then will edit the final video together.

Executive Producer Charlene Shirk coordinated the shoot between CCPAC and Easy Edit Video.

CCPAC is a non-profit organization that seeks to raise the professional standards of individuals who specialize in the administration and negotiation of freight claims.

The certification recognizes those who have acquired the necessary degree of experience, education and expertise in domestic and international freight claims to warrant acknowledgment of their professional stature.

This Jacksonville video production project took place in Easy Edit Video’s green screen studio.

Many people think green screen technology is only for big-time Hollywood movies.  But nothing could be further from the truth. Green screen production is a great way to create a high-quality professional video without breaking the bank. With a green screen you can be transported to any location in the world, without ever leaving our studio.

The way it works is simple.  Green screen production uses a process known as chroma-keying which enables the editor to combine two images or shots together. This is done by removing a single color (in this case green) from one scene and replacing the affected area with a different image or scene.

At Easy Edit Video, our Green Screen studio is fully equipped with a professional lighting setup, teleprompter and camera.

The first step is your budget.  While discussing money is never fun, establishing a budget will enable you to create a finished video that matches your vision. Your budget is a comprehensive outline that includes all the costs relating to the development, production, and post-production of a video.

Your budget includes everything from scripting, talent fees and crew wages to production design, studio costs, costumes and catering.   When estimating your budget, you also need to decide how many days you need to shoot and edit your video. 

In the end, a well thought-out budget ensures your production plans are financially possible and gives your video a better chance of being successful.

Production Planning: Your Location

Did you know that your location can make or break your video? It is important to plan where you want to shoot ahead of time. Looking for a location means finding the right place that will serve as the setting for the scenes in your script….this can either be on-location or in a studio. In video production, the right location supports the narrative and helps create a believable world.

A few things to keep in mind when selecting your location:
Aesthetics:  Does the location match your vision?  How will it
     look when videotaped?
Permits and Permission:  Private property usually requires the
    owner’s permission.  Public property may require a permit from
    the municipality.
Distance:  How far away is the location?  Then assess the
   feasibility of transporting cast, crew, and equipment to the site.
Cost:  What, if anything is the cost to rent, lease or use the site?
Logistics:  What resources are available…what resources will
    you need to provide?  This includes lighting, scenery or a set,
    AC power or generators, toilets, parking.
Weather and Environment:  What impact could they have on your
    shoot?
