We have this amazing idea for a film, can you help?!

Yes, exciting! Creating a film requires lots of teamwork, and working your concept into a finished film will be an amazing collaboration, so lets chat to get the ball rolling.

Do you need more lighting for film?

We always bring lights, but its often easier (and quicker!) to shoot with the available natural light. There just isn’t enough time to spend ages setting up continuous lighting at 15 different locations on a shoot day. 95% of the videos we make just use available light. We also have some special tips and tricks to enhance the current lighting so it always looks bright and welcoming.

Can we narrate the film?

Absolutely! Narration by staff or even pupils is a great way of getting your school’s personality across. We often recommend using our teleprompter too, so the subject can read the autocue and it looks extremely professional (just like BBC news readers). An added bonus is that there are no ‘ums’ or ‘ers’ that you sometimes get with ad-libbed speeches.

Using a teleprompter is also very efficient. We don’t have much (if any) spare time on a shoot day, so if our goal is a 90 second finished film we only need to record 90 seconds of narration. The secret is having a prepared script beforehand (that Marketing can check), ensuring the subject has thought about what they are going to say. With a few practice runs it always looks flawless!
