What are Corporate Films?
A corporate film is a collective term used to denote all video communications that are intended for internal or external messaging in the corporate world. The main feature of corporate films is that these videos are created by considering a specific target audience and not the general public. A corporate film is created for a specific reason like a presentation of financial status of a corporate, its financial decisions or to highlight a new venture of a company.
Marketing efforts and promotional initiatives have become significant pillars of an organization in today’s advertising era. If an organization lacks in its promotional efforts, despite having the best products and services it will fail to sustain the competition. Corporate films offer the best way to promote business through web channels, social media, and even television. The most striking feature of corporate films is its flexibility and simplicity. Corporate films provide an all-inclusive marketing option to an organization for many channels including TV advertising, web branding, social media presence and internal circulation within an organization.

Corporate Film Creation Process
A corporate film creation process is a big affair with multiple steps involved and a systematic approach. For our reader's understanding, we are providing here the steps involved in the corporate film creation task.
- An Initial Inquiry by Client : The corporate film production process generally starts with the preliminary inquiry of corporate clients. During this inquiry session, clients will get to know about the video production agency and its suitability to fulfill the said requirements. The agency will try to understand the objective of the video, target audience, client expectations, etc. Thereafter, the agency will provide a tentative brief on the complete video project along with cost and time estimations.
- Concept Development for The Film : At this stage, the production agency will formulate its film concept by considering the best way to interact with the intended audience and objectives to be accomplished by launching this video.
- Creating Storyboards : After finalizing the film concept the video company will work to design storyboards. In this storyboarding stage, each shot for the video is finalized with its requirements. This stage provides appropriate guidelines to the filming team. However, note that storyboarding is not necessary for all types of film making projects.
- Planning The Film Making : Once the concept finalization and storyboarding phases are over, the next stage is to plan the film making project. This phase covers scheduling resources, managing shoot logistics, hiring or purchasing special equipment and role and actor finalization. Meeting strict timelines is obligatory for any corporate film making project.
- Finalising The Shoot Location : The next stage of the film making project is to conduct the pre-production research for this film. This will typically include research on the filming location that should be free of glare, ambient noise, and foot traffic.
- Filming The Corporate Film/Video : This is going to be the most critical and creative step of this project. It will include prep of the actors, narratives, and way of communication to deliver the intended message. The filming stage should follow only safe procedures to avoid any accidental risks. It will not deliver the final copy of the video as it requires many edits to beautify it further.
Final Deliverable - The Finished Video
The raw copy that is created in the previous stage is transferred to the video drives and necessary backups are taken. Now the role of editors begins!! They start editing the raw footage and add various effects to it. Simultaneously the corporate client feedback is also thought upon and necessary changes are made. Lastly, the full deliverable that is a master copy is completed and it is also agreed upon by the clients.
