HOW LONG SHOULD MY WEB FILM BE?
Not too long is the simple answer!
For most clients we suggest a 30 – 60 second web film and a longer version delivered on DVD to use for other promotional purposes.
We shoot as many web films as you need and it is more cost effective to have 30 web films at 20 seconds each around your site than one giant one.
Visitors to your website may be viewing from their desks and therefore you need to bear in mind the difference of this medium. Shorter web films work perfectly with short attention spans and viewer’s time restrictions.
Short films are also easier to download, especially onto mobiles phones. We know that whether it is client testimonials, highlights from a conference or a product launch, highlighting the very best bits in key chunks is a brilliant device to get visitors to access all areas of your website. -
Every web film has a different budget. If you want us to give you a detailed estimate for a web film then email us at webfilm@violetproductions.com
What will keep your costs down:
• Shooting in one location for the minimum time
• Using library music
• Not using a named actor for voice over
• Not wanting complicated graphics

What puts your costs up:
• Shooting in distant locations or more than two locations

CAN I HAVE MUSIC ON MY WEB FILM?
Yes you can have music on your web film and there are three options:
Using royalty free music We have access to a library of royalty free tracks and with 13,000 on offer we usually have no problem finding something cost effective that works to enhance your web film.
Music that is registered with the MCPS/PRS This includes mainstream songs and compositions and we can advise on costs. Prices depend on what material you want to use, for how long and for what purpose.
