The service, explained

What can a commercial video help explain?

A commercial video can introduce the people behind a business, demonstrate a service or show a location in context. Its message, length and format should fit the destination: a website, social channel or paid advertisement.

Plan the right content

Useful from
the first brief.

Start with one useful message

Before discussing camera shots, decide what someone should understand after watching. A business introduction needs a different structure from a service explanation or a short promotional clip. Share your offer, audience and desired action so the production has a clear direction.

  • Business introduction: explain who you help and what you offer.
  • Service or process: identify the steps and details that make the work understandable.
  • Location or property: choose the spaces and features that a visitor needs to see.

Match the edit to the destination

Social feeds, website pages and advertising placements have different requirements. Discuss vertical, square or horizontal versions; opening messages; captions; on-screen text; and the closing call to action. Interviews, music and additional edits should be agreed as part of the project rather than assumed.

  • Provide platform or publisher specifications before production.
  • Identify whether spoken audio, interviews or captions are needed.
  • Agree the video lengths, versions, revision scope and delivery format.
Local projects

Video production for Plattsburgh and Champlain Valley businesses

For a local video project, the location affects the plan: operating hours, background sound, available space and permission to film all matter. Growtrends is based in Plattsburgh and serves the Adirondack North Country, including Lake Placid, Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake. Share the exact Champlain Valley location and deadline so scheduling and travel can be confirmed.

Before production

A clear brief.
An agreed scope.

01 · Outline the story

Share the audience, message, placements and desired action. List the people or spaces to feature and any existing brand materials.

02 · Prepare the shoot

Discuss the shot sequence, location access, interviews and sound requirements. Confirm which people and materials may appear.

03 · Agree the edit

Define the length, aspect ratios, captions, music, review process and delivery timing. Posting and ad placement are separate unless specified.

For ongoing content, review the monthly packages and your existing proposal with Charles. Additional production, editing, travel or third-party costs are agreed separately when needed.

Planning questions

Commercial video production:
what to know.

Do you create videos for websites, social media and advertising?

Yes, ask about the destination and intended use. We discuss the message, production and edits required for each placement, with the agreed versions listed in your proposal.

How long should my business video be?

The length depends on the message and the placement. Start with what the viewer needs to understand and the next step, then agree a length that suits that purpose and the channel's specifications.

Can the project include interviews, captions and music?

Discuss each item when planning the video. Interview capture, captions, music and usage permissions affect production and editing. They should be included explicitly in the agreed scope.

Can you combine ground-level video with drone footage?

Ask about a combined project. Aerial footage must be feasible at the proposed location and time, and the production plan should identify both ground and aerial work.

Is a separate commercial video included in my monthly package?

Check your existing proposal with Charles. A dedicated commercial production, extra versions or additional editing is not automatically part of a monthly social media package. The scope of each project is confirmed before work begins.
