Speaker A argues that when creating content for businesses, clients prioritize measurable return on investment (making money) over aesthetic quality. While a baseline production standard is necessary, beyond that businesses care more about content that drives revenue than about how "cinematic" it looks. The speaker ends by posing the practical question of what creators should do instead of focusing on aesthetics.
We create content for businesses because businesses have a make money outcome. It means that they don't think that they're going to make what we call an roi, return on investment. And this is likely because the way that you're pitching your content is, I'm going to create this cinematic video for you. They do not care how nice the piece of content looks. Now, there is a certain level of baseline of content, of standards that you have to have within the content that you're creating. But because beyond that, they care more about making money with your content than they do about actually creating beautiful looking content. So that begs the question, what do we actually have to do?
