Thornham Shoot

On Saturday 21st September a group of students went to Thornham to film part of the opening ceremony of the new village hall and the transferal of the community sheild from the old drill hall to the new building.

Firstly people filmed around the outside of the hall, then they filmed interior shots to show what the new hall is like. They then filmed the sheild arriving and people making speeches throughout the opening ceremony.

 

I was unable to atttend the ceremony so these images have been taken from Ilze's blog with permission.

 

By this point the script was 95% complete and just needed finishing touches. Enough of the script was complete however for the group of people who went filming to know exactly what they were doing.

Thornham Village Hall is a newly developed building that is going to take the place of the old drill hall. We will be making a video to promote this new venue. My role in the group is Scriptwriter. I will be writing the script for the impending voiceover.


NOTES ON MAKING A CORPORATE VIDEO:

Get the most bang for your buck - Multipurpose it

Nail down a strong concept - Do some research and stick to a strong concept

Be realistic

How long should it be? 2 - 5 mins probably

Do not use brochure text!

Cast the right spokesperson

Be responsive to requests. You are employed by them.

Know your audience

Don't forget the script! Finalise it before production begins

ENJOY THE PROCESS
