Other videography work — Videographer
Describe the final video experience and its audience, not just the equipment you think is needed. Explain whether material already exists, how it will be shown and whether it serves a technical or evidential purpose. Those distinctions determine whether a videographer or another specialist is appropriate.
Service scope
Other videography is an intake category for a moving-image request outside the listed production families. It should establish whether the output is filmed footage, an edited film, live transmission, animation or specialist evidence before assigning a suitable service and confirming technical or rights requirements.
What is normally included
- Clarification of a non-standard video brief
- Identification of capture and post-production needs
- Referral to appropriate production specialists
What is not included
- Assumed live-broadcast capability
- Automatic forensic or diagnostic validity
- Unlimited animation or visual-effects work
Typical tasks
- Define the moving-image outcome
- Separate filming from editing or transmission
- Review source material and intended use
- Identify specialist technical requirements
- Agree a deliverable or suitable referral
What to include in your brief
- Desired output description
- Existing media and permissions
- Intended viewers and use
- Technical or evidence specification
- Deadline and delivery destination
Choosing the right professional
Ask for relevant completed work and a clear statement of what the provider can deliver. Where a receiving organisation requires a particular technical format or evidential process, obtain that specification rather than assuming any video file will be acceptable.
Important considerations
- A video request may actually require broadcast or animation expertise
- Supplied footage can have unclear rights
- Evidential uses may need procedures beyond normal creative production
