Before the Shoot:

Storyboard and Script: Ensure you have a clear storyboard and a well-written script for the video. This will help guide the shoot and ensure everyone is on the same page.

Location Scouting: Choose and secure the shooting location(s). Consider lighting, background, and acoustics.

Permits and Permissions: Check if any permits or permissions are required for shooting at the chosen location(s).

Schedule and Timeline: Create a detailed shooting schedule with specific time slots for each scene or segment.

Casting: If actors or talent are required, ensure they are selected and available for the shoot.

Wardrobe and Makeup: Plan and arrange appropriate wardrobe and makeup for the talent, if needed.

Props and Set Design: Gather all necessary props and design the set to match the desired look and feel.

Interior and Landscaping: Plan and arrange your space accordingly. If your video shoot is exterior, make sure the yard area is trimmed and clear of debris and clutter. The same goes for interior spaces.
