If you\u2019re starting out creating videos and want to step up to be a video director with larger budgets, a team behind you, models, actors, client expectations, time limits \u2014 you\u2019re stepping into a whole new world of responsibility and required preparation for success. Shooting videos solo can be incredibly fun, and you can do so much on your own. Video directing with a team will likely be a different experience. Either way, after learning our essential tips ahead, be sure to book the perfect video shoot location on Peerspace<\/a>. As the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, we strive to offer you easy access to video shoot locations no matter where you’re located. Our platform helps directors like you be your own location scout, ensuring that your artistic vision comes to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When becoming a director, you may believe that you should continue to exact your vision over your team, and you might have the hubris to think that your singular vision being executed by your team is the best way to operate. That\u2019s not the case, however. This is why the first tip is the most important one on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Trust your team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"industrial <\/picture>

When you hire a team, it\u2019s important to hire people that you trust and respect for their job expertise. While video directing, it\u2019s your job to give your team the direction to craft a beautiful image that supports the story, ensuring that all of the pieces work together for the vision of the piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, the cinematographer\u2019s job is to make sure the camera is producing the best quality image, with effective movement and color. If you hired a good cinematographer, trust them to do their job. Refrain from stepping on their toes by micromanaging everything they do. If you\u2019re hiring actors, allow them to explore their role and make it their own. They may try something that you never thought of that adds depth to the piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Be (over)prepared<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"video <\/picture>

In producing anything creative, especially if it involves video directing, it pays to be prepared. Depending on the type of piece you\u2019re directing, it\u2019s obvious that you need a script from the start. You may also want to create a storyboard or pre-visualization to get a better idea of how the piece will flow visually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re going to be using a new effect or technique, try it out in your free time first to work out the issues before you get to set. More preparation always means less headache onset. It\u2019s perfectly fine to deviate from the plan, but you still need the plan to fall back on if your new ideas on set don\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Have a lighting plot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Modern <\/picture>

Lighting your scenes will sometimes take as much time as filming the scene itself, so it is extremely helpful to have a plan before you arrive. A lighting plot is a simple illustration with boxes and labels showing where the subject is placed in relation to the camera and lights in the scene. The more scenes you and your team have experience lighting, the closer your lighting plots will be to what you actually end up using on set each time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking about the lighting beforehand can also help ensure you have all the equipment needed to achieve the look you want. That way, you can rent or buy extra gear as needed rather than making do with what you have on the day. If you book a Peerspace<\/a> venue for your shoot, you can book a venue that is already equipped with all the pro gear you need. And if it’s short of anything, consult the Concierge service<\/a>. They’re your go-to team for sourcing and delivering anything you need for your shoot, from equipment to catering and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

4. Go to the location before the shoot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"video <\/picture>

Locations can appear incredible and spacious with lots of ambient light in a photo online. However, sometimes when you get there in person, you may notice things that are different than the impression you got from photos. It can save you a lot of headaches if you visit the location during your preparation period, then take your own photos and notes to create a more accurate plan for the day of shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also where Peerspace<\/a> can be exceptionally handy! All of our filming locations have their own listings that include high-res photos, a detailed description, a list of equipment and features, upfront pricing, and reviews from past renters. It paints a pretty detailed picture, though you can still reach out to the host through the listing with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Direct the action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"exotic <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many directors become obsessed with all of the technical aspects of how the lighting, sound, and camera are working, how the movement looks, and if everything is in focus. The problem is, they forget to check the action in the shot is correct. Pay attention to your frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your team has all technical details dialed in, then shift your focus from the production to the action your subject is taking in the frame. Ultimately, that action is what the production is there to serve in the first place, so be mindful not to overlook it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Find and share inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"video <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With any creative endeavor, inspiration pieces are important; come up with creative ideas and communicate them. You may find it useful to create a mood board<\/a> with photos that illustrate different aspects of what you\u2019re trying to create. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, you might have one portrait that illustrates the lighting you want on your subject\u2019s face, another photo to illustrate the color palette, and yet another image to show the kind of lens choice and framing you think is best. You can then give your cinematographer, lighting assistant, and other members of the team your mood board to help them better understand and execute your vision in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

7. Stay within the budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The <\/picture>

Budgets are hard because, on one hand, you can do a lot on a small budget. On the other hand, every bit more money you pour into a project can marginally increase the quality of what you make. When working within a tight budget, or shooting for a client that can\u2019t spend too much, it\u2019s useful to plan to spend less and give yourself room in case it\u2019s needed. Don\u2019t push clients to increase the budget unnecessarily, and don\u2019t overspend without good reason. Plus, it helps to prompt fully transparent communication. Check out our article on using a production budget<\/a> to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. The client is always right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"video <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re directing a video for a client, you will almost certainly get feedback that you might not agree with. You may make a creative decision that doesn\u2019t fit the brand, perhaps it just isn\u2019t their normal practice, or maybe they just don\u2019t like it. That\u2019s okay! Don\u2019t take it personally. Make the changes they ask for and move on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they want to change something that you believe is fundamentally incorrect, you do have a responsibility to share your expertise, but that\u2019s all. If you share your expert opinion and they decide to ignore it, accept their decision and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Make a shot list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"video <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you don\u2019t have a shot list, you\u2019ll run into one of two problems every time. You\u2019ll either end the shoot without getting everything you need for the edit, or you\u2019ll have too much to work with and spend extra time sifting through the excess. To avoid this issue, make a shot list<\/a> of everything you need for a successful edit. Check off every shot for the day, and then you can experiment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Be early<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"video <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a saying in Hollywood that you should take to heart and live by as you start your career in video directing: \u201cIf you\u2019re early, you\u2019re on time. If you\u2019re on time, you\u2019re late.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is unacceptable to be late for a shoot. It can cost the production money, make you miss shots on your shot list, or cost extra for studio time. Plus, it will annoy everyone else involved. People are routinely fired on the spot for showing up late, so be early! A fun way to make sure you\u2019re always early is to grab coffee at the closest coffee shop to the location an hour before you need to be there. Enjoy your coffee, relax a little, prepare yourself, then arrive at the location 15-20 minutes early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: be an example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Music <\/picture>

As the director of the video, it’s up to you to set an example for the rest of the crew as well as the models or extras you’re filming. Therefore, always ensure to maintain a professional, upbeat attitude. Showing frustration is not an option. Since you’re setting the tone, how you act will be mimicked by everyone else around you on set. Keep that chin up, soldier on, and show your entire team the tremendous results that can happen when you keep a cool head and focus on the task at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
