Croft TV's Video Production Protocol during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Now that live filming is possible again the following article will outline how we (Croft Television) will conduct our shoots, ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees and our clients.

Let’s start at the beginning…

Pre-Shoot

Our employees know and can recognise the symptoms of the COVID-19 virus in themselves and others, so if they are presenting any of these symptoms they will not be attending the filming assignment and instead will go into self-isolation for 14 days, as per the government advice.

We own a temperature gun and so, temperatures will be taken of each employee regularly on the lead up to a shoot, and on the morning of the shoot. If these readings show that any employee has a ‘high’ temperature, i.e. 38°C or above, they will not be attending the filming assignment and will go into self-isolation for 14 days.

Other pre-shoot precautions we will take include ensuring any gear that will be taken with us is thoroughly cleaned using antibacterial solution, which could take the form of a wipe or spray and making sure we have enough safety equipment such as masks, gloves and hand sanitiser for all of our crew members.

During the Shoot

To minimise the risks of a live environment during COVID-19, masks and gloves will be worn at all times and social distancing rules (keeping a 2 metre distance apart) will be adhered to, also hands will be washed as frequently as possible and equipment will be sanitised regularly.

Other shoot precautions include using a longer lens to allow us to maintain at least a 2 metre distance. We will also instruct our talent on how to apply their own tie mic.

We will keep the details of anyone we come into contact with in line with Track and Trace guidance.

Once the recording is completed we will pack up quickly and neatly, disinfecting our gear as well as any surface we have used/come into contact with.

That’s it, thanks for reading!
