The thesis describes the process of production of presentation videos for all study programs of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering. The purpose of the production and the thesis itself came from the need for new video content, with which the faculty could present itself primarily to students, but also in international environments, to companies and so on. In the end, the goal was to create presentation content that authentically shows the happenings and atmosphere at the faculty and that at the same time contains all the necessary information that would be of interest to the future student when deciding on a study program.
In the theoretical part, the main stages of classic video production are presented: pre-production, production, and post-production. In pre-production, an idea, a plan is formed, all necessary equipment and personnel are gathered, and all documentation (synopsis, story outline, script) is prepared for an easier and more optimized production process. In the production, all the recording (clips, audio, etc.) and a set of other necessary material (graphics, photos, etc.) are carried out. The final stage is post-production, where all recorded and collected material is combined into one or more products. This is where footage is cut, colour corrected, effects are added, sound editing, graphics introduction and the like are carried out.
Following these steps, we also produced the presentation videos, but in our case the individual stages of the production overlapped much more - the text for the narration was created during the production, the basic cutting of the footage was done during the production, the re-recording of the narration also took place during post-production etc. In the course of the project, we also encountered many other challenges, which we were happy about at the end, because we gained a lot of experience and new knowledge.
The results of the thesis represent 6 presentation videos for individual study courses in the Slovenian language, 6 videos with English subtitles and 2 common videos for special purposes. With the help of additional or better equipment, and above all better operating conditions, even better videos could be created, but we are of the opinion that, despite many challenges and mistakes, good presentation videos were created.
