Understanding OTT Platforms
OTT stands for "Over-The-Top" — content streamed directly to viewers via the internet, bypassing traditional TV providers. Examples include FaceOff, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+.
- Accessibility: Content can be accessed on mobile phones, tablets, smart TVs, and desktops.
- Flexibility: Viewers can watch what they want, when they want — making user engagement crucial.
- Revenue Models: Include ads (AVOD), subscriptions (SVOD), and rentals (TVOD).
Creating OTT-Ready Content
- High-Quality Production: Invest in good cameras, lighting, and sound for a professional feel.
- Storytelling: OTT audiences crave authentic, binge-worthy stories. Focus on strong plots and relatable characters.
- Format: Shoot in 16:9 ratio, Full HD (1080p) or 4K resolution for best results on various devices.
