Decisions, Decisions: Breaking Down the Many Types of Video Production.
When it comes to creating video content, the possibilities are endless, and that can be both exciting and overwhelming. From brand films and product demos to social media clips and corporate explainers, each type of video serves a unique purpose and speaks to a different audience.
But choosing the right kind of video isn't just a creative decision, it's a strategic one. The format, tone, and delivery must align seamlessly with your goals, budget, and brand identity. A mismatch here could dilute your message, weaken your campaign, or even jeopardise the success of a product launch.
That’s why understanding your options is essential. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the diverse landscape of video production, breaking down the most effective video types, what they’re best used for, and how they can elevate your brand. Whether you’re launching something new, building awareness, or simply telling your story, we’ll help you make the right call.
Choosing the Right Video for Your Brand: A Guide to Video Production
So, you know you need a video. Great! But with so many options - corporate videos, promo clips, documentaries, event coverage, short films, social media content - where do you even start? Picking the right type of video isn’t just about looking good on screen. It’s about nailing your message, staying within budget, and making sure your brand stands out for all the right reasons. The wrong choice could mean missing the mark with your audience, while the right one can elevate your brand and bring in real results. Let’s break down the different types of video content and how each can work for your business.
Corporate Videos: Build Trust, Boost Engagement
Corporate videos aren’t just about boardrooms and pie charts. They’re a powerful way to showcase your brand’s personality, values, and expertise. Whether it’s an about-us video, a product demo, or internal training content, these videos build trust with clients, employees, and stakeholders alike. At Reverie Films, we create corporate videos that go beyond the basics. Think of dynamic visuals, engaging interviews, and high-quality production that tell your company’s story in a way that resonates.

Whether you’re launching a new product, announcing an event, or running a social media campaign, promo videos are designed to generate excitement and drive action. We make sure your promo video hits the right notes - whether that’s cinematic storytelling, fast-paced edits, or a compelling voiceover that keeps viewers hooked.

Documentaries: Powerful Storytelling That Connects
Documentary-style videos add authenticity and depth to your message. They’re ideal for charities, organisations, and brands looking to tell real, human-centred stories. If you have a cause to champion or an inspiring journey to share, a documentary can be the perfect way to connect with audiences on a deeper level. We’ve created impactful documentaries, including One Last Spin, which explored the dangers of gambling addiction. Whether it's a short-form feature or a full-length film, we craft compelling narratives that leave a lasting impact.

Event Videography: Capture the Moment, Relive the Experience
Hosting a major event? Don’t let those incredible moments slip away. Event videography ensures your conference, festival, or launch party lives on long after the day is over.
We film, edit, and deliver highlight reels, full-length coverage, or social media snippets that capture the energy and essence of your event. From a single-camera setup for intimate gatherings to multi-camera productions for large-scale conferences, we tailor our approach to fit your needs.
Perfect for:
— Corporate events & conferences
— Live performances & concerts
— Product launches
— Award ceremonies
Narrative Short Films: Creative Storytelling That Engages
Sometimes, the best way to connect with an audience isn’t through direct marketing but through storytelling. Narrative-based short films allow brands, charities, and organisations to engage audiences through emotion, drama, and cinematic storytelling. Whether it’s a scripted drama that subtly promotes a brand message or a bold artistic film designed for festivals, we help bring your vision to life with high-quality production and compelling narratives.
Perfect for:
— Brand storytelling
— Awareness campaigns
— Film festivals
— Online and social content
Social Media Content: Scroll-Stopping Visuals
Short-form video dominates social media. From Instagram reels and TikToks to LinkedIn promos and YouTube shorts, attention spans are shorter than ever—so your content needs to be fast, engaging and optimised for each platform. We create social media videos that cut through the noise, whether it’s eye-catching motion graphics, bite-sized brand stories, or dynamic product showcases.
Perfect for:
— Instagram, TikTok & LinkedIn
— YouTube ads & shorts
