Behind the scenes at POWWR event.

At Yellow Lizard Media, some event shoots are about capturing the day itself. Others give you the opportunity to create a whole library of video content that can be used long after the event is over. Our latest behind the scenes project for POWWR was a great example of the latter. As well as capturing the event, including team building activities, presentations, networking and a food and drinks reception, we were also tasked with creating a huge range of additional video content for POWWR's marketing, recruitment and internal communications.

Should You Film Video in Portrait or Landscape?

Before choosing how to frame your video, think about where the finished content is going to live. A video created for your website will usually need a different format from one designed for Instagram Reels or TikTok. If you know which platforms you are targeting before filming begins, your videographer can compose each shot with those formats in mind. This helps you avoid awkward crops, missing graphics and the occasional disappearing arm when the video is resized later.

In this vodcast, Scott Dymond and Dan Gibbons from Yellow Lizard Media dive into all things audio, breaking down a crucial (and often overlooked) part of video production. Drawing on their experience as a video production company, they explain why great audio is just as important, if not more so, than visuals when it comes to effective video marketing, and how poor sound can quickly undermine even the best-looking footage.

How to Create a Video Content Library

Before you hit record, think beyond the first video you want to produce. Start with one core topic, such as a service you provide, a product you sell or an area of your expertise. This could become your main long-form video, giving your audience a useful overview of the subject. From there, break the topic down into smaller sections that can work as individual videos. A single detailed discussion could give you several shorter clips, each answering a different question or focusing on one specific benefit.
