We have a systematic process to cover any event.
First we create a shot list. When preparing for a special event, I generally make two lists: First, make a list of the gear needed, such as headphones or a tripod. Second, make a list of specific shots the client will expect. Be sure when making this list to label times and places that these “Must Capture” moments will take place.
We stick to the list. It’s not enough to write a list – you need to use it! A key production principle is plan your shoot, shoot your plan. Your client will be counting on you to follow this principle whether they realize it or not, so create your plan and execute it.
However, we understand that there is a special something when shooting live events. We make sure to capture those as well.
We map out setup locations and times. Because of its live nature, certain things like speakers can only speak at a certain point. We are always aware at all times to make sure we cover everything.
If you've got an important event, definitely use a pro videographer. At 2Bridges, we provide top video production services to cover your event.
