Establishing a budget for your video project

Your budget will impact everything else in the project. This is why it is so important to establish a budget as soon as possible. You need to know what you are working with and realistically what type of video you can afford to make with the money you have to spend. Your budget impacts when and where you will shot, the effects included in the video, and all additional services that are provided by the video company.

Even if you do not have an exact number, you need to provide the video production company with a range to work with. When production companies have a ball part figure to work with, they can help you reign in your expectations and what you can actually accomplish with your budget for your project. Most companies will give you a number of video options to consider that will help you achieve your goals for the video, and without exceeding your budget.

Where to shoot your video

One of the most important things that you need to determine when planning your video is where you will shoot it. The location will vary depending on the type of video you are shooting, but in general, you will either be shooting in the studio, or you will be shooting on location. If you are shooting in the studio you will need to book studio time, and if you are shooting on location you need to make sure that you have the proper approvals and documentation in place.

A third shooting option is multiple locations shooting. If it makes sense for your video to be shot in multiple locations, think about how many places you want to shoot in and where they are located. Remember that shooting in multiple locations requires some logistical planning to ensure everyone is where they need to be, and when they need to be.

And, don’t forget the investment that will be required. Shooting in multiple locations takes more time, effort, and resources, so make sure that you have factored this into your decision.

Key Takeaway: Figuring out when and where you want to shoot helps to establish a time frame for the video project.
