Live stream, full recording or aftermovie?
Three different uses for the same event. Choose the output around when and why your audience will watch.
An event can reach viewers as it happens, remain available as a full recording or become a short film. These outputs can complement each other, but they are not interchangeable. First decide what the video needs to achieve.
Live stream: watch while it happens.
Choose streaming when the audience needs to follow the programme in real time. Alongside picture and sound, plan access, the venue connection and a technical test. Public viewing and invited-only access may have different requirements.
A stream alone does not define whether you receive a local recording, permanent archive or later edit. List those deliverables separately.
Full recording: keep the content.
A talk, conversation or concert can be preserved in a longer format. For conferences, specify whether you want separate videos by speaker or subject. For concerts, distinguish the complete performance from selected songs.
For Sanjska hči gora, Ovation used 13 cameras and a broadcast truck and handled recording, directing and post-production. This describes one production, not a standard camera count for every concert.
Aftermovie: a selection of moments.
An aftermovie captures selected moments and atmosphere. It can serve as a memory, an event introduction or material for a future edition. It does not replace a complete talk or performance.
Ovation produced the Žalska noč mladih aftermovie, available on YouTube. Consider what purpose an equivalent film would serve for your event.
If you need several versions.
Separate essential outputs from optional extras in the enquiry. Give the intended length, publishing channel and deadline for each. Recording and editing can then be scoped around the complete list.
