Start with the job the video must do, its audience, claims, channels, aspect ratios, languages, accessibility, shelf life, approval owners and media plan. A cinematic commercial team may be wasteful for repeatable training modules; an event crew may be wrong for a scripted brand film. Ask who produces and directs, who records sound, what is in-house, how facts and cuts are approved, what happens if a person, location or shoot day fails, which versions and captions arrive, what licences expire, whether project files or clean masters are included, and who can update the work later.
