In short: an aftermovie is a short film (60 to 120 seconds) that sums up the atmosphere and the highlights of an event, alongside other useful deliverables: a teaser before the event, full recording of the talks, interviews and vertical clips for social media. To get it right in Morocco, prepare a clear brief, scout the venue, plan several cameras and clean sound for the speakers, and agree on delivery dates before the day. YOURMEDIA, a video production company in Rabat, films events everywhere in Morocco, starting from 1,500 MAD.
Conference, trade show, product launch, corporate evening, seminar or festival: an event costs a lot and lasts only a few hours. Video gives it a second life. It thanks the attendees, convinces sponsors to come back, feeds your social media for weeks and sells the next edition. This guide explains the possible formats, the preparation, how the shoot runs and what changes the budget.
Which videos to produce around an event?
The aftermovie is the best-known format, but not the only one. The right choice depends on your goal: awareness, social media content, archive or expert content.
| Format | Length | What it is for | Recommended timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teaser / announcement | 15–30 s | Make people want to come, sell tickets | Before the event |
| Same-day clips | 15–45 s | Post during the event or the same evening | A few hours |
| Aftermovie | 60–120 s | Sum up the atmosphere, thank people, sell the next edition | A few days |
| Talk recording | Full length | Archive, replay, content for those who missed it | Depends on volume |
| Interviews / testimonials | 30–90 s | Reassure sponsors, give attendees a voice | With the aftermovie |
| Vertical 9:16 clips | 20–60 s | Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn for several weeks | After the aftermovie |
What makes a good aftermovie
- An emotion, not an inventory: the film should make people feel the energy of the day, not show every stand or every speaker.
- A simple structure: arrival and set-up, the highlights, faces and reactions, then a strong final shot with the logo and the date.
- Real voices: two or three lines from interviews give meaning to the images and make the film credible.
- Music chosen early: it sets the pace of the edit. Use royalty-free or licensed music, especially if the film is sponsored.
- One version per screen: 16:9 for YouTube, the website and the screens at the next edition; 9:16 and 1:1 for social media.
Preparing the shoot: the checklist before the day
1. The brief
State the goal of the video, the target audience, the moments not to miss (opening speech, awards, signing, special guest), the sponsors to feature, the language of the interviews (French, Arabic, Darija, English) and the expected delivery dates.
2. The programme and the venue
Send the minute-by-minute programme and, if possible, arrange a scouting visit. The light in a conference room, a hotel or an outdoor space does not call for the same equipment. Plan a connection to the sound desk to record the speakers cleanly.
3. Permissions
Check the venue rules, the speakers’ consent and that attendees are informed about the filming. For aerial shots, drone filming in Morocco requires prior authorisation: request it several days in advance, because a drone cannot be decided the day before.
4. The set-up
For a small event, one videographer with a camera and a microphone is often enough. For a conference with full recording, you usually need several cameras (wide shot of the stage, close-up of the speaker, audience) and live sound recording. For a large trade show, one crew films the atmosphere while another handles the interviews.
On the day
- Arrive before the doors open to film the set-up, the empty venue and the details (badges, decor, signage).
- Follow the programme with a contact on the organising side who knows the key moments.
- Do the interviews in a quiet corner, with a clean background and a lavalier microphone.
- Film the audience’s reactions as much as the stage: these shots bring the aftermovie to life.
- Send a few short clips the same evening if you want to post while the event is still being talked about.

Frequently asked questions
What is an aftermovie?
It is a short film, often 60 to 120 seconds long, edited after an event to sum up its atmosphere and highlights. It is used to thank attendees, showcase sponsors and promote the next edition.
How long does it take to deliver an aftermovie?
It depends on the amount of footage and the number of versions. The delivery time is set in the quote before the event. Short clips can be delivered the same evening if this is planned in the brief.
Do you need several cameras to film a conference?
For a full recording, usually yes: a wide shot of the stage, a close-up of the speaker and audience shots, with sound taken directly from the sound desk. For a simple aftermovie, one mobile camera can be enough.
Can a drone be used during an event in Morocco?
Yes, with the necessary permits requested in advance. A drone is especially useful for outdoor events, remarkable venues and large sites.
