It takes time and money to plan and deliver a film shoot so we’ve written a simple guide to help clients and budding film makers make the most out of their shoot days!

The attachment includes tips on:

  • Preparation is key
  • Where can we film?
  • It’s all about the additional footage to cut away to (broll of GV’s)
  • Ensure the crew get breaks
  • Time to change locations

& finally, the most commonly asked question? What to wear!

  • Wear warmer colours. Wearing a top or tie in colours like teal, cobalt, purple and coral pop visually on screen.
  • Avoid white, bright red and all-black outfits. These can cause problems with the exposure.
  • Avoid heavily branded clothes unless it’s specifically part of the film.
  • Stick to solid/block colours. Patterns can be distracting for the camera/potential viewer
  • Make sure you keep jewellery simple. Microphones will always pick up on your bracelets or dangly earrings.
  • Make up tip for all – If you have some face powder (make up) at home or in your make up bag, please bring it with you to the shoot.
