Primary Function The Video Production Unit is focused on the creation of high-quality, formal video content for both internal and external purposes, emphasizing long-term production projects and professional-grade video segments. These include training and public awareness videos, internal communications, and critical incidence response.
Target Audience The team targets a variety of audiences depending on the project, including deputies for training and roll call videos, court audiences for presenting evidence, and the public for educational or public awareness campaigns.
Content Style and Format Producers create content that is typically polished, planned, and formal. This could include scripting, storyboarding, editing, and professional production quality.
Technical Expertise The Video Production team possesses specialized expertise in videography, editing, sound design, and production. Using professional-grade cameras, lighting, and editing software, they ensure a high level of production quality while maintaining a post-production mindset throughout the process. During in-depth sit-down interviews, producers craft their questions to elicit responses that highlight the most engaging and emotional aspects of a deputy’s experiences, keeping the final edit in mind.
Workflow and Deadlines The Unit works on longer, planned projects that may require days, weeks, or even months to complete, depending on the complexity of the production. Deadlines are often set far in advance. For training videos, producers and content specialists complete a video production planning form, which ensures the final product is effective in achieving its training goals.
