Pre-Production

During the pre-production phase, the media team collaborates closely with instructors to plan and lay the groundwork for successful multimedia content creation. This crucial stage typically involves conceptualizing ideas, developing storyboards, writing scripts, and outlining the overall structure and flow of the media project to ensure it aligns with course objectives and effectively conveys the intended educational content.

Production

During the production phase, the media team brings the pre-production plans to life by capturing or creating the actual multimedia content. This stage typically involves activities such as video recording with faculty in studios or on location, voice-over recording for narrations, creating animations and graphics, and capturing any necessary supplementary footage or images. The team utilizes professional-grade equipment and software to ensure high-quality output that meets the specific needs of online education.

Post-Production

During post-production, the media team refines and finalizes raw content. This involves video and audio editing, adding effects or graphics, color correction, sound mixing, and incorporating text or captions. The team ensures all elements are integrated seamlessly, pacing is appropriate for learning, and the product meets accessibility standards. This phase concludes with rendering content in suitable formats for online delivery and conducting quality checks before finalizing the media for course integration.
