Unfortunately, when customers search for the right videographer for their event, they do not know what to ask, they do not ask the right questions or they ask unfair questions. The interview process then becomes a daunting task for the customer and videographer. The result is that factors become overlooked, misunderstood, and even undervalued. This can be avoided. The task can be quick, easy, and "painless" for both parties. Thus, I have compiled a list of questions that customers should ask a videographer prior to hiring him or her. They are as follows...
Do they have samples clips or a demo reel? If so, do they have to be watched at the videographer's studio or can they be viewed online?
What kind and how many cameras do they own? What format are they? What do they record on?
Are they able to provide a second camera man/woman? (Note: Even one man operations can have connections to others in their field for assistance. So do not count them out.)
Do they belong to a professional association like the Wedding and Event Videographers Association (WEVA)?
What are their service fees? Do they have package deals? (Note: Fees can range from $2,000 for a basic video to $6,000 or more for wonderful video documentary.)
What is their availability? (Note: Sought-after videographers book a year or more in advance.)
