Media Production 101: What does a media production company do?

Media production can encompass a wide range of expertise and may have some wondering what a media production company does. Media includes any type of communication, information or entertainment intended for a large audience. It can include anything from film and tv to corporate, promotional, educational or web based material.

A media production company is responsible for everything from the initial concept of the project to completion. The company helps with the concept, scripting, scheduling, casting and more. They supervise filming and keep projects on point. They are in the business of getting the project from start to finish – and ensuring client satisfaction.

Media production companies can also organise staff, production, distribution, and even marketing. Budgeting is an essential aspect of good media production and in today’s competitive climate, cost-effective production techniques are important to most clients.

Successful companies focus on an end product that will engage your audience in the intended manner. To connect with your audience is the goal. Providing excellence in development (the creation of the concept) and pre production (the planing and facilitating of all aspects of a shoot) increases the quality of the end product. It also ensures that all the details of a project will be thoroughly thought through – and serve, rather than compromise, your message. Media production companies succeed by hiring experienced and talented staff. Involving experienced producers and directors, with a proven track record, is critical to overall success.

Along with an excellent staff, production companies must also deal with maintaining quality equipment in order to provide a well-produced product. Creating an end product that is professional and meets the needs of the client is the key goal in any effective media production company.

An excellent production company is the crux of any successful media venture, whether it be a television commercial, an educational video, a promotional film or web video.
