Identifying the right location
When it comes to filming days the very first thing that your team will do is identify the right location(s) to film.
This not only includes finding the best spot(s) to film but also setting up all the cameras, lights and props.
Setting up cameras, lighting, and sound equipment are all part of the video production process. This set-up, no matter what the type of filming can take up to 45 min to 1 hour.

Dressing location
Following identification of the 1st location and set up of the camera, lighting and sound equipment, comes location dressing. Location dressing refers to the staging or beautification of the shot to make sure that the video looks as professional and sleek as possible. This could mean anything from adding plants into the background or hanging background screens.
Staging your shots can take up to 10 – 30 minutes depending on the type of project and location, but however long it takes, it’s a necessary step to ensure that your videos look clean and attractive.
Once the 1st location has been framed and staged it’s time to start filming, however, before the cameras start rolling more preparation needs to be done with the subject.
This is a crucial step in the video production process and ensures that you can deliver the best possible version of your video.
