ArcLight planning guide
What to Prepare Before Event Coverage
A practical event coverage prep list covering timing, access, priorities, interview planning, and same-day expectations.
Lock the event timeline
A clean run-of-show saves time on site and tells the crew which moments absolutely cannot be missed.
Share access notes early
Venue rules, parking, check-in steps, power, and where interviews can happen make a huge difference once coverage starts.
Set expectations for delivery
Decide up front whether the priority is a full recap, a highlight reel, vertical cuts, or a same-day teaser so nothing critical gets missed.
