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.
