What to put in your brief
- What the video is for and where it will run (Instagram, TV, website)

- Whether you need editing, colour and sound, or just the footage
- Your budget for the day, or for the whole job
Booking in Dubai
- Shooting in public places in Dubai usually needs a filming permit from the Dubai Film and TV Commission. Ask whether your crew handles it or you do, and build the lead time into your dates.
- Drone shots need approval from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, so mention them in your brief from the start.
- The UAE working week runs Monday to Friday. Many productions shoot on Saturdays too, so say if weekend days are possible.
- Most commercial work here is bilingual. Say whether you need Arabic, English or both on camera and in the edit.
- VAT in the UAE is 5% and is added to the booking total.
What to ask before you book
- Can I see work similar to this brief?
- What kit is included in your day rate: camera, lenses, lights, audio?
- Is editing included, and how many rounds of changes?
- When will I get the files, and in what format?
