Coverage decisions

Start with the outputs, then plan the coverage.

A highlight, an uninterrupted speech and a set of short interviews each require a different camera and audio plan.

01

Filming only

Request organised footage for an internal editor or appointed agency. Handoff terms are confirmed in the scope.

02

Event highlight

Plan for atmosphere, people, branding and the moments that need to support a concise edit.

03

Speeches and presentations

Identify every section that must be recorded continuously and the available stage-audio sources.

04

Interviews and short clips

Allow a suitable interview area, contributor schedule and framing plan alongside the main event coverage.

Event FAQ

Questions to resolve before the event.

How many videographers does a corporate event need?

It depends on simultaneous moments, rooms and uninterrupted recording requirements. Include those details so the crew requirement can be scoped rather than assumed.

Can speeches and a highlight be planned together?

Yes, but continuous stage coverage and roaming highlight coverage should be treated as separate requirements in the brief.

Can short interviews be recorded during the event?

Add the contributors, available times and proposed interview area to the enquiry so the setup and schedule can be assessed.

Can raw footage be requested?

Include a footage handoff in the enquiry. Format, transfer, ownership and delivery terms must be confirmed in the final scope.

Can vertical clips be requested?

Yes as a requested deliverable. The framing and edit requirement should be decided before filming.

How early should the date be checked?

Send the date as soon as the venue and key timings are known. Availability is not promised until it is confirmed.

Event enquiry

Check the date and scope the content that must come from the day.

Send the venue, timing, run sheet and outputs already known. Missing production details can be resolved from there.
