===Sets and filming===
{{see also|Enterprise (NX-01)}}
The majority of the filming took place on the [[Paramount Pictures]] lot in Los Angeles, California. The temporary sets for the show were housed on stages 8 and 9; while the permanent sets including the [[Bridge (nautical)|bridge]], [[engine room]] and the [[arsenal]] were located on stage 18. The engineering set itself was built across two levels with the large warp drive taking up the majority of the space.<ref name=boarding>{{cite journal|last1=Spelling|first1=Ian|title=Boarding Enterprise|journal=Starlog|date=December 2001|volume=1|issue=293|pages=82–84|url=https://archive.org/stream/starlog_magazine-293/293#page/n82/mode/1up|access-date=May 30, 2015}}</ref> Stages 8 and 9 had housed sets for the earlier ''Star Trek'' series since production was started on the abandoned ''[[Star Trek: Phase II]]'' during the late 1970s. They were subsequently used for the films ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]'', ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]'', ''[[Star Trek III: The Search for Spock]]'' and ''[[Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home]]'' before being used for ''The Next Generation'' and ''Voyager''.<ref>{{cite web|title=A Brief History of Paramount Stages 8 & 9|url=http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/9513.html|website=StarTrek.com|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|access-date=August 26, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050216133229/http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/9513.html|archive-date=February 16, 2005|date=February 4, 2005}}</ref> Stage 18 had not been previously used for the production of any ''Star Trek'' series or films.<ref name="introducing" />

During the course of filming the pilot, between 130 and 150 members of staff worked on constructing the sets; this reduced to 20 to 25 crew members when the show went to series. These teams were led by construction coordinator Tom Arp, who had previously worked on ''Deep Space Nine'' and a number of ''Star Trek'' films in the same capacity. Although a number of episodes required specific sets to be built from scratch, the team would save certain elements to enable them to be reused in later episodes. The production had a warehouse in Burbank to store those pieces while they were not being used.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tom Arp: Star Trek Set Construction|url=http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/features/bst/article/128.html|website=StarTrek.com|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|access-date=September 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050803023236/http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/features/bst/article/128.html|archive-date=August 3, 2005}}</ref> Midway through the third season, from "[[Exile (Star Trek: Enterprise)|Exile]]" onwards, the series started to be broadcast in [[1080i]] [[high-definition television]]. Alongside ''[[Jake 2.0]]'', it was one of the first two series on UPN to be broadcast in high-definition.<ref>{{cite web|title=Enterprise Gets the HDTV Treatment|url=http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/3218.html|publisher=StarTrek.com|access-date=June 23, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090905120522/http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/3218.html|archive-date=September 5, 2009|date=October 15, 2003}}</ref> The show contains over 4,214 minutes<ref>{{cite web|url=https://consumerist.com/2015/04/20/here-are-the-most-ridiculously-long-binge-watches-available-for-anyone-with-200-hours-to-kill/|title=Here Are The Most Ridiculously Long Binge-Watches Available For Anyone With 200+ Hours To Kill|work=Consumerist |date=April 20, 2015|access-date=May 2, 2017|archive-date=February 1, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170201124857/https://consumerist.com/2015/04/20/here-are-the-most-ridiculously-long-binge-watches-available-for-anyone-with-200-hours-to-kill/|url-status=live}}</ref> of special effects, dialogue, and other scenes. Although it was broadcast in high definition at 1080i, it was not released on 1080p blu-ray until later.  An example of high definition is the 2017 Blu-ray collection of the full series called ''Enterprise: The Full Journey''.<ref name="redvdit.net">{{cite web|url=http://www.redvdit.net/star-trek-enterprise-full-journey/|title=Star Trek Enterprise: The Full Journey - Blu-ray Review - Films At Home|date=September 29, 2016|access-date=May 1, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171214110737/http://www.redvdit.net/star-trek-enterprise-full-journey/|archive-date=December 14, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Until the start of the fourth season, the series was shot on traditional [[film stock]]. The first three seasons were shot on wide screen 35mm film with an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, and it was 3-perf Super 35mm film.<ref name="redvdit.net"/> After Rush began testing a Sony digital camera on the standing sets for two days prior to production on "[[Storm Front (Star Trek: Enterprise)|Storm Front]]" and demonstrated the footage to Braga and Berman, the decision was made to switch to digital production. Rush felt that the audience would not see a great deal of difference as the footage could be shot in a way to look the same as the earlier seasons; but he felt that filming in [[high-definition video]] would be a benefit because of the additional detail that could be seen.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fourth Season Production Commences Sans Film|url=http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/ENT/news/article/6165.html|website=StarTrek.com|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|access-date=June 27, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040813204938/http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/ENT/news/article/6165.html|archive-date=August 13, 2004|date=July 15, 2004}}</ref> At the time, this was cutting-edge for a TV show, allowing the production team improved low-light performance and enabling more shooting compared to chemical films.<ref name="macobserver.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.macobserver.com/dvdailies/2004/10/06.1.shtml|title=DV Dailies - Star Trek: Enterprise Beams Up Sony HD Cameras For Season Four -- The Mac Observer|website=macobserver.com|access-date=April 30, 2017|archive-date=February 7, 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050207205549/http://www.macobserver.com/dvdailies/2004/10/06.1.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> A Sony HDW-F900 CineAlta High-Definition camera was used, and the recording technology also used Sony' CineAlta 24P, a trademarked name of that company.<ref name="macobserver.com"/> The decision to move to Sony's technology was a unanimous agreement of the show's three executive producers, and was also supported by the director of photography.<ref name="macobserver.com"/> Season four's Blu-ray release in 1080p has been praised as sharp and with satisfying color, and the best-looking of the seasons.<ref name="blu-ray.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Star-Trek-Enterprise-Season-Four-Blu-ray/92719/|title=Star Trek: Enterprise - Season Four Blu-ray|access-date=April 30, 2017|archive-date=December 31, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161231013437/http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Star-Trek-Enterprise-Season-Four-Blu-ray/92719/|url-status=live}}</ref> The fourth season has been released multiple times, and as a combined full-series set in January 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.treknews.net/2016/11/03/star-trek-enterprise-complete-series-blu-ray-set-coming-january/|title=STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE Complete Series Blu-ray Set Coming In January [UPDATED]|date=November 3, 2016|access-date=April 30, 2017|archive-date=July 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170718025004/http://www.treknews.net/2016/11/03/star-trek-enterprise-complete-series-blu-ray-set-coming-january/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="blu-ray.com"/>
