Video Production in Bergen

Having a reliable crew for any form of video production in Bergen is something a lot of foreign production houses look forward to having. Giving that the city is flooded with beautiful mountains, fjords and breathtaking nature; it is no doubt that it has become a popular location for filming. The city also attracts a lot of foreign businesses and tourists. This creates a need for companies to produce videos locally in Bergen.

However; the big challenge comes when a company from abroad needs a crew to carry out video production in Bergen. Flying an entire crew from abroad is never easy and could be costly. For some, the production budget doesn’t allow for that. This is where we come in.

Filming a product ad

Filming a product ad can be a very fun process just as much as it could be dreadful. Take a dive with us into the process on how we were able to successfully film an ad and make the entire process fun.

A key thing for any company whether filming a product ad or any sort of video content is to have a proper pre-production. This will involve everything prior to the actual filming process. Client meetings, location scouting, script writing, storyboarding and lots more. For us this included a sit down with the client in order to have a clear understanding of what their expectations were.

We also took time to write a proper two column script as well as do some storyboarding and shot-listing as this ad called for it. After having everything in the pre-production phase done (a lot of which we didn’t mention), we jumped into the next phase which was the actual Production.

We decided to film in three different locations for this ad. In the studio, a treatment lab and an indoor house setting. In the lab we wanted to show key features of the device. We choose to use the treatment lab as the second location in order to showcase that the device can be used professionally by a trained person. And the last location was an indoor home setting. Here we wanted to show how easy it is to operate and use the device on your own.

We scheduled two days to shoot the entire ad. On day one we focused on the studio shots and showing the device’s features. On day two we shot in the treatment lab and home. After wrapping up the production, we jumped in to post production.

The goal was to achieves a clean white look, keep colors natural and with good contrast. The entire project was shot in PRORES RAW on the Sony FS5. This meant we had good latitude to play with colors in post.
