\u201cHow much does a video cost?\u201d It\u2019s often the first question we\u2019re asked, and it\u2019s a fair one. The honest answer is: it depends. Not to dodge the question, but because a corporate video can range from a short format shot in half a day to an ambitious film spread over several days. Here are the criteria that really make a budget vary, to help you prepare your project.<\/p>

1. Preparation and writing<\/h2>

A film starts long before the shoot: discussions about your objectives, writing the message, location scouting, interview preparation, scheduling. The more complex the subject, the more important this phase becomes. It is also what determines the final quality.<\/p>

2. Duration and number of shooting days<\/h2>

This is one of the most decisive items. Half a day in a single location doesn\u2019t cost the same as several days spread across different sites. The number of sequences, speakers and trips between locations all come into play.<\/p>

3. The crew involved<\/h2>

Depending on the project, a single videographer may be enough, or you may need a fuller crew: camera operator, assistant, sound engineer, director of photography, make-up artist\u2026 A simple interview doesn\u2019t require the same resources as a staged commercial.<\/p>

4. Equipment<\/h2>

Cinema cameras, lenses, lighting, stabilisers, slider, crane, drone: the equipment used directly affects the look of the image and the budget. What matters is choosing the equipment suited to the project, without oversizing.<\/p>

5. Post-production<\/h2>
