Recorded definition and use

Production of moving-image work whose subject is a real event as it happens: multi-camera live capture, switched livestream production, and performance capture where the produced record of the live moment is the commissioned deliverable.

Tag it when…

Tag when the production craft is anchored to filming something that is genuinely happening: multi-camera capture and live switching, livestream production, produced performance or conference capture where the captured record itself is the deliverable.

Never tag it when…

Never tag mere footage OF an event cut into another deliverable — a spot assembled from event footage goes to Commercial; observational storytelling about an event goes to Documentary. Building the experience being filmed is Experiential, not this leaf. Judge the production craft, never the piece's format label (event-coverage/livestream labels are content-type vocabulary, not a rule basis).

Comparison notes for 3 other entries

These recorded notes compare this entry with related services, disciplines, crafts or other descriptions. Their wording remains subject to review.

• video production experiential — This leaf FILMS a real event; Experiential BUILDS the constructed experience. If the shop was hired to make the thing happen rather than to record it, use Experiential.
• video production commercial spot — Event footage edited into an ad unit with sell posture is a spot; this leaf requires the live capture to BE the produced work.
• video production documentary — Documentary observes and shapes real events in the edit; Live Event Capture produces the record of the live moment itself.

At what size it applies

Asset tag when the whole piece is live-capture production. Moment tag when a live-capture beat (performance, crowd, keynote) sits inside a piece that is otherwise another craft, e.g. a brand film.
