A
corporate function is considered to be one of the best days in a company. If
you are planning one, you will want to remember every detail. The only way to
get great memories of a function is by getting a video of the same. Since this
is not an ordinary day you may want to consider soliciting the services of a
professional function videographer. Getting the best function videographer in
New York can only be done by following some tips. If you want to choose the
right NYC corporate video production service,there
are some guidelines you can follow:
Begin
by finding as many references as you can. A good place to start would be
friends who have held similar functions recently. They would be more than happy
to share their wisdom, and sometimes even their function’s film! On the other
hand, if you already have a photographer for your function, they may have great
recommendations of videographers they have worked with previously. Once you
have a list of references, get their portfolios and start perusing them.
Once
you have found one or have a shortlist of potential candidates, meet with them
and find out if you can get along. The meeting is crucial as the individual
(and potentially their team) is an incredibly important part of your function.
They will be following you and your work colleagues closely for the duration of
the event. If you get the right NYC
corporate video production service you will not be camera-shy. As a matter
of fact, you may not even notice the cameras are there.
By this time, you will have
made a very short list, maybe two or three potential videographers. The style
of filming you like is the next thing that will determine who you choose. Some
videographers will take a story-telling stance where a structured narrative is
derived from weaving different moments of the day. Some prefer the documentary
style where the finished movie will show your function as it unfolds including
interviews from your guests and colleagues being dispersed throughout the
video. Others will have ‘make it up as you go’ attitude and film the day and
edit it accordingly. The rest may have ‘new’ styles which may incorporate two
or all of the mentioned styles. Make sure you voice your preferred style to the
videographer. This way, they will know what to capture in the event and how to
portray it.
