We work with you to have a successful fashion video. Here's how we do it:
Figure out the purpose of your video
Are you just using video to build up your portfolio? Are you aiming to shoot an actual commercial to be featured in TV or YouTube?
For portfolio purposes, a good set of montages would suffice. For a commercial, it might be better if you include elements of a story. This could include a hook, a premise, a beginning and an end.
Storyboard your shots
Storyboarding is planning out your shots. You don't just show up at a location and start shooting. It takes time to setup cameras and get everyone in place.
It will help if you have a plan in place before the actual shoot. This is when shot lists and storyboards come into place. This helps save time and money when everything is planned out beforehand.
Find your team
This will depend on budget and what you're trying to shoot. For elaborate shoots, you might need a model, a makeup artist, a couple of videographers, a sound person and perhaps a grip.
Again it starts in the pre production process and having a shot list and storyboard. If you know what you're shooting, then you'll know what crew you'll need for your project.
