Reelwire's Insights on Top Video Production Trends in 2024 (and into 2025)
The video landscape is constantly evolving, and for businesses and creators, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Here at Reelwire Productions, we're passionate about helping businesses leverage the power of video.
In this blog, we unpack the video trends poised to shape 2025, giving you a roadmap to create captivating content that resonates with your target audience.
Top Video Trends
Social Media Video Gets a Reboot
Snack-Sized Content is King
Short-form videos reign supreme. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels dominate, with viewers loving bite-sized (15-60 second) content. These punchy videos, covering everything from life hacks to financial advice, are highly shareable and perfect for short attention spans.
User-Generated Content (UGC)
Authenticity wins. Consumers crave genuine experiences. UGC, powered by creators sharing personal stories, is a cornerstone of social media marketing. Brands are still embracing this trend in 2024 and will continue into 2025, partnering with creators to showcase products and services in a relatable way.
Silent Videos with Captions are the New Norm
Sound off, captions on! With 92% of viewers watching videos on mute, captions are crucial for watchability and accessibility. This silent approach allows viewers to engage on the go, in public spaces or with the sound off.
Vertical Video Reigns Supreme
Mobile-first video is here to stay. Over 70% of digital media consumption happens on mobile devices. Vertical video is the new standard for social media platforms, offering an easy viewing experience without needing to rotate phones.
Top 3 Evolving Production Processes
1. Remote Production
Location-independent collaboration is the future. Cloud-based tools and platforms have made remote video production a reality. This opens doors to global talent pools, reduces travel costs and allows for faster turnaround times.
Plus, Reelwire was founded with a vision to harness the power of video storytelling, no matter where our clients or team members reside. Our remote Alice Springs location offers a unique perspective, inspiring our team to think outside the box and create content that stands out. Despite our unique location, we've cultivated a reputation for excellence, proving that distance is no barrier to creativity and innovation.

3. Mobile Video Production on the Rise
Your phone is your studio. Advancements in phone technology mean professional-looking videos can now be shot and edited on your smartphone.
