BEST TV COMMERCIAL
STUDIO HIRE
LONDON - UK

Turn your TV commercial treatment into a carefully planned studio shoot at Cineview Studios in Greenwich. Bring the script, production team and shot list, with time for performance, product details and alternate takes.

A short spot. Every shot earns its place.

A TV commercial needs a clear sequence of images, performances and product moments. Work backwards from the approved script and planned duration: identify essential coverage, transitions and the end frame before booking. Cineview provides the studio space. Your production team manages directing, filming, casting, sound, editing, clearance and delivery unless specific support is agreed separately.

Storyboard being drawn before a commercial shoot

Start with the script and storyboard

Share the treatment, storyboard and shot list with your crew. Mark dialogue, action, product inserts and intended graphics so each setup has a purpose. Agree what must be captured before moving the lighting or changing the set.

Give performance room to develop

Build rehearsal and alternative readings into the schedule. Agree eyelines, marks and camera moves with talent, and allow time for wardrobe, hair and makeup. If dialogue matters, discuss current sound conditions and recording requirements before booking.

Keep the product and end frame consistent

Bring approved products, packaging and spare samples. Check labels, reflections, hand positions and continuity between takes. Plan a clean end frame and any space for graphics with the director and editor before the shoot.

Plan the versions before the edit

List the main spot, shorter cutdowns and any alternate messages before filming. Capture useful handles, clean moments and additional details while each setup is ready. Your production team should agree edit, colour, sound, clearance and delivery responsibilities separately.

Images illustrate production planning and filming. Studio hire, equipment and additional services are confirmed in your booking quote.

Plan your studio booking.

Share the brief.

Send your shot list, reference images, preferred dates, cast and crew numbers and the setup you need.

Allow working time.

Include load-in, styling, preparation, lighting, filming, resets and pack-down in your schedule.

Confirm the quote.

Your written quote sets out hire hours, preparation and agreed extras. Full payment is required to secure the booking. Bring your own equipment at no extra charge.

Your studio hire questions.

Does studio hire include a finished TV commercial?

The booking covers the agreed studio hire and any separately quoted services. Production, post-production, clearance and broadcaster delivery are managed by your production team unless explicitly arranged.

Can we record dialogue on the shoot?

Discuss your dialogue and microphone needs before booking. Your sound recordist should assess the setup and current sound conditions. Do not assume a soundproof stage or included sound crew.

How much hire time should we allow?

Include access, unloading, set preparation, lighting, rehearsal, filming, resets and pack-down. Share crew numbers and the number of setups before booking. Confirm any pre-light or build time and its cost in your quote.
