5 steps to help speed up, scale up and power up video workflows without compromising on quality

Creating slamming video content is not only about exceptional visual skills but also about the efficient use of time and resources. Frameworks play a critical role in this by helping you optimise video workflows and deliver better results with less time and effort, especially when producing content at scale.

In this article, we explore how frameworks contribute to speedy video workflow, without losing their effectiveness or appeal.

What are Frameworks?

Frameworks are pre-defined narrative structures, guidelines, or formulas that help you streamline the video creation process. They provide a roadmap that outlines the storyline, shots, audio, symbols, and themes to be included in your video content. By following a framework, you maintain consistency across your videos, stay on-message, and cut down unnecessary brainstorming time.

Steps to Speed Up Video Workflow Using Frameworks

Step 1: Select the Right Framework

Choose a framework that aligns with your video content's objectives and target audience/potential customers . The framework should also be compatible with your brand's storytelling style. For instance, if you are creating a product video, opt for frameworks that include clear sections for problem identification, solution proposal, product benefits and a compelling CTA

Step 2: Adapt the Framework to Your Needs

With the selected framework, adapt it to fit your specific video content. Customize the framework by adding, removing, or modifying sections to accurately represent your brand's message and the information you want to convey. Ensure the framework's structure is clear, concise, and coherent.

Step 3: Draft a Video Script

Once you've fine-tuned the framework, create a script that follows its structure to ensure all essential elements are included in your video. A well-designed script makes the production process more efficient by providing clear guidance on visuals, voiceovers, and text. This is probably a good time to double check that you have crystallised exactly what the purpose of this video is and where it’s going to go. If you’re not sure- check out this video for some tips on what to put where.

Step 4: Review and Optimize

As you produce the video, continually refer to the framework to ensure you stay on-message and maintain consistency with your storytelling. If necessary, make adjustments to the script to improve the clarity and flow of your narrative. Use this checklist for some QA pointers.

Step 5: Iterate and Refine

As you create more video content, continually refine your framework to improve its effectiveness. If you can, use tools and programs to assess the performance of your videos- look into drop off rates, completion rates, see which sections are causing problems and identify areas that may require optimization, remixing or scrapping altogether. Everything is a work in progress.

Benefit recap:

1. Efficiency: Frameworks reduce the time spent on brainstorming, designing, and structuring your video content, leading to faster video workflows. Don’t start from zero every time
2. Consistency: They help maintain a uniform narrative style and messaging across your videos, which strengthens your brand identity.
3. Scalability: As you create more content, frameworks make it easier to scale your video production process while maintaining the quality and effectiveness of your storytelling.

tl;dr

Implementing frameworks in your video workflow can significantly accelerate the production process, enhance consistency, and simplify scaling of your video content. By embracing the power of frameworks, you can create impactful videos that effectively communicate your brand's message and resonate with your audience.
