Whether you’re looking for event videography in Southern California or internal marketing videography, the length of the video, and what you need for it will affect the overall cost. When budgeting for your project, it’s important to think about the following questions:

1. What do you want your video to do? Do you need a video to promote an upcoming product? Or do you want to film a highlight reel from your last event? Filming a product is going to mean different equipment and team than what would be needed for event videography. (A professional videographer is can take your answer to this question and help build the perfect video based on your vision.)
2. What do you want included in your video? Videos such as explainer videos or employee training videos often have voice-over narration. The price of narrators will be different than what would be spent on a crew of actors and actresses. Basically, the more crew needed for the video, the bigger the investment. 
3. Where do you want your video to be filmed? If you’re not sure about the best location to film at, a professional camera crew can help to suggest film studios or exterior locations. When you think about studio prices and permits, the location you will film at will have an affect on the video’s pricing. 

Consider these three questions as you set about planning for a Los Angeles videography budget. In the end, a crew of professionals will bring your vision to life, making them every bit worth the time and investment—it’s what they’re good at and passionate about, after all.
