Procedure for the production of an online video (up to two minutes duration).
There are two options – the Premium Shoot and Edit or the Standard Shoot and Edit for those on a more limited budget who require a short, simple video. Please enquire for details if your requirements do not fit into either category.
A. Premium Shoot and Edit.
Stage 1: Planning/Preparation – Maximum 1½ hours
It would be helpful if prior to this discussion you had a basic plan of what you would like produced and an outline script prepared.
We will cover:
- what you want to achieve from your online video, i.e. its purpose;
- your target audience;
- the type of shots you require and in which locations;
- what narrative, if any, you wish to add;
- the preparation and style (serious, funny, etc.) of the script;
- whether to include any photography;
- the file format of the final video;
- whether you require a separate version for a DVD player;
- whether you require a version for shop counter or window display.
Please note that if more than one file format is required there will be a further charge of £30 per additional format. Each additional format will be supplied on a separate CD/DVD.

Stage 2: Filming – Maximum 2 hours
This will normally be on the client’s premises unless other arrangements have been agreed.
Stage 3: Uploading to Computer and Editing – Maximum 6 hours
The video will be uploaded to a computer and edited according to your requirements. When completed, you will be sent a link to the draft version for approval. We will then discuss any small changes that need to be made, if any.
Stage 4: Final Adjustments/CD or DVD production – Maximum 3 hours
The video will be amended once, if necessary, and your approval will be requested. Once approved, it will then be saved in the agreed format/s and uploaded to YouTube if desired. If a CD or DVD is required, it will be labelled and supplied in a presentation case with a sleeve insert. Extra copies can be provided for an additional charge. Please ask for details.
Terms and Conditions
A 50% deposit is required when placing the order. The balance is due immediately upon completion unless different terms have been agreed in advance.
An additional charge for time and travel costs will apply if the premises are located outside the city of Cambridge.
Cost: £500, plus travel if applicable.
