FAQ about hiring a Videographer
How much does a videographer charge?
On average, professional videographers charge $500-$700 for 2 hours of work. This price may vary depending on your location, the length of the event, the kind of video you want, and the videographer’s experience level. The type of event may also be a factor, as wedding videography might have different price points than other simpler event videography or even corporate video production. Multiple settings, alternate camera angles, and post-production work may also affect the overall cost.
Videographers typically charge per hour. While you can set firm start and finish times, filming can often run overtime due to unforeseen circumstances (sound issues, low visibility, etc.). Whether you hire one videographer or an entire film crew, you should be prepared to pay an additional fee if filming runs longer than anticipated. This should all be discussed with your video production crew in advance of booking.
How far in advance should I book a videographer?
When hiring a videographer or photographer, try to book 8-10 months in advance of your event. Start your search as early as possible to give yourself plenty of time before hiring someone to review portfolios and research which videographers fit the style of your special occasion.
What events can a videographer film?
Videographers can cover everything from a keynote speech at a seminar or conference to a family reunion or celebration. Some videographers specialize in certain kinds of events, including weddings, religious events, corporate events, and special ceremonies. Others may specialize in artistic or narrative film structures such as music videos, commercials, and filmed invitations.
How soon will I receive the video?
The turnaround rate for videos varies depending on your videographer’s editing capabilities, though the industry standard for completed videos hovers around 8-12 weeks. Feel free to ask your videographer how long it usually takes them to edit and process their videos during the interview and booking stage.
What equipment does a videographer use?
Videographers use different types of filming equipment depending on the style of their work, the vibe of your event, and the type of video content you’ve commissioned. Examples of film equipment run the gamut from 4K and 6K cameras to lighting kits, specialty lenses, and drones. For the smoothest possible shoot, find out what equipment your videographer intends to bring along and what resources you’ll need to provide.
What assets are included in a video package?
Most videographers will include retouches, color correcting, and sound editing in their final product. In terms of the shots, people, and moments you’d like to include in your video – that’s up to you. Videographers aim to preserve the magic of your special event, so let them know what you’d like them to capture ahead of time.
Can I have the raw footage of the video?
Some videographers may offer to include raw footage in their final delivery for an extra fee. However, as you consider the cost, it may be worth remembering that raw footage arrives unedited with lower-quality sound and without retouching or color correction. It can also take up a fair amount of space on your hard drive.
