Pre-Production Of A Video Analysis
2.1.1.1.1 Pre-Production of a Video
Pre-production is the process before shooting the video. Written in the book The Video Maker Guide to Video Production (2004) that good writing is a start of good video. The moment we start recording something with a camera, we are starting to tell a story. Whether if one is shooting the science fiction, documenting a wedding or producing a short public service announcement, they are still telling a story.

In the first seconds of a video, audience can usually determine, either consciously or unconsciously, whether they like or do not like the video by that time.

Press (2004) defined rule of thirds as a basic rule of composition. It will give the video maker ideas on where to place the subject on the frame. The rule of thirds will help giving a more compelling picture. Though one wants to position the subject dead center on the screen, the rule of thirds will give a more compelling picture. First, imagine that there are two vertical and two horizontal lines dividing the viewfinder into thirds, like tic-tac-toe board.
