Christmas party video: how to plan it
December is the busiest month for company events, and the best videographers book up early. Here is how to plan the video so it is useful long after the party.
Book early
Fridays and Saturdays in December fill up first. If your party is on a December weekend, contact the videographer as soon as the date and venue are set.
Moments worth filming
- Arrival and welcome: the venue, decorations, first smiles.
- The CEO’s speech or the year in review.
- Awards and thank-yous to the team.
- The show, the band or the DJ, and the first dances.
- The photo booth corner, which gives some of the best emotions of the night.
What to order
- A same-night teaser for the team chat and social media.
- A highlight film for the intranet, website and next year’s invitation.
- Short reels that show the company culture for recruiting.
Use it in January
A Christmas party film is great material for the new year: a thank-you post to the team, a recruiting campaign, or a “this is how we celebrate” section on the careers page.
