Production planning for operating room videography.
Successful video coverage of the surgical event involves careful planning in the preproduction stages. Prior knowledge of the intended audience enables the video producer to employ the tools and techniques that obtain the most appropriate visual perspective of the operative anatomy. Additionally, familiarity with the salient steps of the operation allows the production team to anticipate the moves of the surgical staff, so that important events are not missed. The video crew must also evaluate the operating room environment and the traffic patterns of the surgical team, so that there is no compromise to the quality of patient care.
