Beautifully seen. Beautifully heard.

A performance film should preserve more than the visual record of a concert. It should communicate the concentration, expression and connection between musicians.

THE AREA Classical combines professional location audio recording with cinematic multicamera filming to create elegant performance films.

​

A considered visual approach

Our filming style is designed to complement the music.

We favour thoughtful compositions, natural-looking colour, restrained camera movement and editing that follows the musical performance.

The emphasis is always on the musicians.

​

What we film

• Solo recitals and audition performances

• String quartets and chamber ensembles

• Piano and instrumental duos

• Chamber orchestra performances

• Concerts and selected live events

• Promotional performances and artist showreels

​

Professional audio at the heart of every film

Unlike a conventional concert video relying on camera microphones, our performance films use separately recorded professional audio.

The finished audio is synchronised with the camera footage and combined into a carefully edited film.

​

Designed for your audience

Performance films can be prepared for websites, concert promotion, online audiences, auditions and social media.

We will discuss your intended use before filming so the production is planned around the final result.

​

Discuss your performance film

If you are considering filming a recital, chamber performance or concert, we would be delighted to discuss the possibilities.
