Master digital media production with these expert tips!

1. Understand the production process

Digital media production involves creating, editing, and distributing multimedia content. This involved combining videos, audio, graphics, animations , and interactive media to reach global audiences instantly and provide real-time analytics.

Steve's Take:?

"I started applying the techniques that I would use to create a dance track or electronic house music track to video editing. That's when I started making some pretty creatively intense video remixes that I was putting up on YouTube, which went viral through different channels."

2. Stay updated with technology

Digital media technology is constantly evolving. Enhanced visual experiences like VR, AR, AI tools , streaming platforms, and social media integration are game-changers in the AV industry.

Steve's Take:

"I'm always on the team; 'if you can't beat it, join it.' As far as a tool and being able to use it as a utility, I'm all for it. I've been using AI-like things since the beginning of my music production career."

3. The power of storytelling

Crafting a compelling story is crucial. A well-structured narrative with relatable characters keeps your audience engaged from start to finish and gets them emotionally involved with the story and its characters.

Steve's Take:

"The story is number one…the edit, the scoring, the use of sound effects…that you create are extra. One of my best colleagues mentioned that 'everything lives and dies in edit.'"

4. Innovate with AV design

Use effective video editing , scoring, and sound design to enhance your narrative. Music and sound effects set the emotional tone, while visual design and cinematography bring your story to life.

Steve's Take:

"We try to provide not just a boilerplate production…our secret sauce is the ability to intertwine audio with video in a unique way that nobody else is doing."

5. Engage with your audience

Create content that captures and retains attention. With so much digital noise, your productions need to stand out, so perseverance is crucial to creating something outstanding.?

Steve's Take:

"In the early days when Porterhouse Media started, I didn't know what the client was saying to me...my angle is just keep drilling until you figure it out."

Keep in mind:

Whether you're an aspiring digital media producer or a seasoned pro, the key to mastering digital media production is to push the boundaries of your creativity.
