Commercial filming refers to the recording of visual content (video or photography) intended primarily, but not necessarily exclusively, for commercial purposes — such as advertising, promotion, marketing, or profit generation — rather than for personal, educational, or purely artistic use. It typically involves the production of materials that will be sold, broadcast, streamed, or used to promote a product, service, brand, location, or company. Attending media fall under this category.
