LRB Media is Bristol’s premier video production service for businesses across the city, south west, and beyond.
With companies across a wide range of industries already trusting our team of experts to deliver industry leading video content for them and their customers, why not take a look at why you should consider them for your next project?
Choosing the right videographer for your business is crucial for ensuring high-quality video content that effectively represents your brand on your website, in promotional material, and on social media.
Here, we detail what you should look for when choosing a videographer.
What is your ultimate goal?
If you have a vision in mind for what you want to achieve with your next marketing campaign, then having a videographer that can deliver on it is essential.
Whether it is for marketing, training, events, or promotional purposes, make your goals clear and ask the videographer how they can bring that to life
You’ll need to identify the key messages you want to convey and the target audience for your video. An experienced videographer can provide examples of previous work, and how they executed another company’s vision to deliver results.
It is also at this point where you’ll need to establish a budget that aligns with your video production needs – from pre-production, all the way to the final edits.
At LRB Media, Luke and the team can help you build the perfect plan from the start, and help businesses grow and reach their audience, with a message that will resonate with them.
Research local videographers with experience
Before you jump at the first company that appears when you search on Google, it is important to see what they have delivered in the past.
Check their website for how they deliver expert video content, the testimonials from current clients, and their social media presence.
By examining their portfolio, you can assess their style, quality, and versatility in producing multi-functional video marketing content.
Here at LRB Media, we have worked with countless businesses in Bristol and beyond, and they have shared their experiences of working with us.
Do they offer all the services you need?
When choosing the best videographer for your business needs, it is important to know their professional experience, and know who you are dealing with.
Luke and the team at LRB Media have years of experience in the industry and their expertise is unmatched when it comes to delivering the services your company needs.
Whether it is a one-off shoot needed to deliver in a short turnaround, a six-month or yearly retainer, or a longer-term strategy, knowing that your video production partner can provide you the content you need in a professional and timely matter can make all the difference.
Examples of what a leading videographer should provide include pre-production meetings where you can set out the strategy and deliverables, share planning documents including shotlists, briefing documents and call sheets, and a calendar for shoots and production days.
They should provide experienced videographers on set, which will result in cinema-grade film, using high-spec equipment. This will also include helpful insights into music licensing, subtitling, and other essentials for providing the necessary outcome.
Will they help you at every stage of the video production?
After having the introductory meeting and signing up to a package, are you sure that they will help you deliver the video you need?
Check the quality and type of equipment they use, including cameras, lighting, and audio gear – and ensure that they will be able to help you from pre-production to the release of the final product.
To guarantee you have chosen the right videographer, enquire about their planning process, including scripting, storyboarding, and location scouting (if applicable).
Once you are happy, you’ll then need to understand their shooting process and the steps involved in editing and finalising the video for your desired target audience.
Schedule regular meetings to discuss your project in detail, and a good video production company will be responsive to your queries and feedback.
To ensure that you are a priority, confirm their availability to meet your timeline and deadlines.
Review the costs and contract
Finding the right video production company to work with is an essential part of growing a business and reaching its wider goals.
This is why getting value for money and having the right agreements in place is paramount.
Retainers and package offers are a good way to ensure you get your video content at the right price.

Look to build a long-term partnership
If you are looking to build a longer-term strategy that can grow and evolve just like your business, then having the right video production company can help accelerate your vision.
Consider if the videographer is someone you can work with on future projects. Building a long-term relationship can lead to better collaboration and consistency in your video content, that your customers will come to know and interact with across a variety of platforms.
Whether it is for a documentary, internal or external business functions, entertainment, advertising, social media or any other video need – finding the right video partner can make all the difference.
