Restaurant films for Lokma, Westfield London

We produced these restaurant films for Lokma at Westfield London through Beyond, with outputs for website and social use. The commission needed films that could introduce the restaurant on its website and work as shorter content in a social feed.

Explore the films above and read the production diary for the planning considerations behind this type of restaurant commission.

A restaurant film across different channels

A website and a social feed offer different viewing situations. On a website, a film may help introduce the restaurant as part of a broader visit to the page. In a feed, a shorter edit needs to establish its subject quickly.

That distinction is useful when planning a commission. Rather than assuming one version will suit every placement, identify the outputs and how they will be used before filming.

Food, setting and the experience

For a restaurant brief, the food is only one possible part of the material. The setting, preparation and people can provide context, depending on what the film is intended to communicate.

A clear shot list helps organise the production, but it should follow the idea rather than become a catalogue of everything in the restaurant. Decide which dishes, features or moments are essential and which are secondary.

Planning the production day

Share service times, access arrangements and the availability of the people involved. If food needs to be prepared for camera, agree the order and allow for changes between setups.

If photographs are also needed, add them to the scope at the beginning. The schedule should make room for stills as well as moving sequences.
