Conference filming in Riyadh usually produces a great deal of footage and very little that gets used. The fix is deciding what the coverage is for before the first session starts, not after.
Most conferences need four things, and they are not all the same job.
The sessions
Locked off and clean, usually two cameras so a long talk can be cut without jumping. These are the archive, watched by few but needed in full.
The highlight film
Ninety seconds of energy, published while people are still talking about it. This is the piece that sells next year, and it has to come out within days rather than weeks.
Interviews on the floor
Speakers and delegates grabbed between sessions in a lit corner we set up in advance. Five minutes each, and it is the material you will use most across the following year.
Photography alongside
Stills carry the daily posting while the video is still being cut, so running both together is what keeps a conference visible while it is happening.
How many cameras conference filming in Riyadh really needs
Two on the stage, so a long talk can be cut without the picture jumping. A third roaming for the room, the audience and the conversations in the corridor. One camera will cover a conference, but it will not give you anything you can cut into a highlight film.
