# School & University Event and Yearbook Videography UAE — Pricing, Process & Guide 2026

Quick Answer

School and university event and yearbook videography in the UAE costs between AED 3,000 and AED 25,000, depending on whether the booking is a single event, such as graduation or sports day, or a full academic-year package covering portrait days, multiple events, and yearbook video content. Backyard Studio provides school and university videography across all seven UAE emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain — covering graduation ceremonies, annual day performances, sports day, portrait and yearbook photo days, and university convocation events. Written proposals are provided to school administration before the academic year begins, with content structured to work alongside a school's existing yearbook print process.

What Is School & University Event and Yearbook Videography?

School and university event and yearbook videography covers the photography and video content schools and universities commission across an academic year — portrait and yearbook photo days, graduation and convocation ceremonies, annual day performances, sports day, and other milestone events. This differs from general event videography because it usually involves child safety and parental consent considerations, coordination with school administration rather than a single event organiser, and delivery formats built to support a printed yearbook alongside video content for parents and the school's own marketing. Many UAE schools work with a photography partner across the full academic calendar rather than booking event by event, so Backyard Studio structures pricing around both single-event bookings and full-year school partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions

### How much does school yearbook video production cost in the UAE?

School and university event and yearbook videography in the UAE typically costs between AED 3,000 and AED 25,000. A single portrait day or graduation coverage booking sits at the lower end, while a full academic-year partnership covering portrait day, multiple events, and a compiled video yearbook sits at the higher end.

### What is included in a yearbook video package?

A yearbook video package typically includes a compiled highlight video summarising the academic year's key events, performances, and milestones, edited in a format suitable for sharing with parents and students at the end of the school year.

### Can Backyard Studio deliver same-day or next-day content?

For event coverage such as graduation or sports day, Backyard Studio can typically deliver an edited highlight video within 3–5 working days, which allows schools to share content with parents while the event is still fresh.

### Do you cover multi-day events like sports week or exam periods?

Yes. Backyard Studio can coordinate coverage across multi-day school events, scheduling filming around the school's own timetable to minimise disruption to classes and exams.

### How far in advance should schools book yearbook and event coverage?

Backyard Studio recommends schools book at the start of the academic year for a full-year partnership, or at least three to four weeks in advance for a single graduation or major event booking, to allow time for scheduling and consent coordination.

### How do you handle parental consent and child safety?

Backyard Studio works within the school's existing parental consent process for photography and video, and coordinates directly with school administration on any specific requirements around student privacy before any filming takes place.

### What video and photo formats do you deliver?

Backyard Studio delivers print-ready image files sized for yearbook printing, alongside horizontal 16:9 video for school websites and parent communication, and vertical cutdowns where a school wants to share highlights on social channels.

### What is the difference between event coverage and a full academic-year partnership?

Event coverage is a single booking for one occasion, such as graduation or annual day. A full academic-year partnership combines portrait day, several major events, and a compiled video yearbook into one ongoing relationship, which is typically more cost-effective per event than booking each occasion separately.
