Video Production Stakeholder Register
This is a practical guide to building a stakeholder register for a video production project — a record of stakeholders, their influence and how to engage them, adapted to the realities of producing a video or film.
What a Stakeholder Register is
A stakeholder register is a record of stakeholders, their influence and how to engage them. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Stakeholder Register. On a video production project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for a Video Production project
Video Production projects live or die on producing a video or film. A well-built stakeholder register gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how video production projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Stakeholder name and role
- Power and interest
- Attitude
- Engagement approach
Video Production-specific considerations
Tailor the stakeholder register to the risks that most often derail video production projects:
- Creative revisions
- Shoot logistics
- Post-production timelines
Example
On a real video production project, the stakeholder register would be shaped by producing a video or film. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — creative revisions, shoot logistics, post-production timelines — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
