Overview
Media Production encompasses the production of multimedia content in our on-site production studio spaces in collaboration with faculty and staff who submit service requests detailing their vision and goals either as it supports needs with instruction and coursework or departmental resources, such service promotional videos, interviews, and more.
Key Features
Once we receive your
Media Production service request, our team will coordinate with you to understand your goals and visions with media production. This can include:
-
Script Reviews and Guidance: We strongly encourage written scripts to use with our teleprompters for ease. This will ensure a balanced flow and natural look when speaking into the camera. We'll review your scripts and give recommendations or suggestions to help ensure find the right balance.
-
Scheduling Filming and Video Production: We'll provide you a calendar link to review our production studio availability based on which campus is optimal for you. Once scheduled and confirmed, we'll follow-up to detail best practices to prep for you, and/or others based upon your request, are prepared to be 'the talent' on camera to record your media.
-
Audio Production and Podcast Support: We utilize production-grade audio microphones for pristine audio quality. For video productions, we can integrate stock and royalty free background music to help set the tone across the video. We can collaborate for audio-only production requests, to schedule time to record if you have multiple individuals or interviews and wish for a an edited and high-quality podcast-like production as well.
-
Post-Production: Once we've completed filming or recording in our studios, with what related materials and assets you provide us (slides, logos, photos, related video assets), we'll work in post-production to color correct, clean up, and edit all these together into an exciting and clean media for your usage. While our team is small and primarily focused on video and audio content production, we may leverage access to University and stock libraries for graphic design elements within video productions, or sound effects and royalty free audio where applicable. We also have access to
University Marketing & Communication's Photoshelter library for University photography assets.
-
Sharing Your Media: We will provide video and audio media through the University's Video Repository,
Panopto, as this affords ease of instructors to easily integrate within their courses in the Learning Management Systems so access rights are easily set, or otherwise affording more in-depth statistics for viewer stats within the University. We can also provide direct downloads if media will be used outside of this, such as Loyola's YouTube channel, or integrated into training materials or presentations.
