Analysis of Video Creation

Based on personal experience and references to the creative sharing of many creators (such as "Film and Television Hurricane" and "Polar Diary"), this article analyzes some high-frequency requirements for medium video creation, lists current solutions, or future desired solutions, for reference.

Definition#

There is no clear definition of medium video, and this term has only been proposed in recent years. Based on the definitions of several platforms, medium videos are generally considered to be videos ranging from 1 minute to 30 minutes.

Although this definition is relatively new, this type of content has actually existed for a long time. Take YouTube as an example. Although it is not marketed as a medium video platform, according to a report by Statista, the average duration of content on YouTube is 11.7 minutes, indicating that most of the content produced and consumed can be classified as medium videos (although in recent years, due to the pressure from TikTok, YouTube has also launched the short video product Shorts).

Characteristics of Medium Videos#

Due to their short duration, short videos cannot convey much information and are more suitable for killing time and entertainment. Medium videos, on the other hand, have a longer duration and can accommodate more content, making them suitable as carriers of knowledge and experience.

Comparing the typical medium video platforms today, such as YouTube, Bilibili, Xigua Video, and Haokan Video, although some platforms have their own characteristics, such as Bilibili's parody of films and TV shows, the types of medium videos on these platforms can be broadly categorized as general knowledge, general interests, general lifestyle, and film and TV adaptations.

Compared to short videos, medium videos are more professional, have more storytelling elements, and have richer content. At the same time, the production cost is also higher.

Process of Medium Video Creation#

Unlike short videos, medium video creators generally require some professional knowledge and may even need a team. Therefore, aspects such as planning the theme, designing the story script, and team collaboration are more important.

Content Preparation#

Medium video creators need stronger storytelling and script design abilities. If they work in a team, online collaboration also needs to be considered.
