How we make videos
We are strategic in our approach and journalistic in our execution.
Strategic approach
What do you want this video to achieve?
It's the most important question in any video project and it is always the first question we ask. The answers will lead us to the:
- Problems to be solved
- Target audiences
- Key messages to convey
- Type and style of production required
- Critical story-telling elements
The underlying communications objectives always drive the creation of the video. We don’t take a camera out of its case until we understand those objectives and know how we will meet them.
Journalistic execution
We produce factual content, using journalistic principles and styles.
Our videos are made to give viewers information that answers their questions. This is crucial in the new-age of information. Today, people use filters to avoid ‘old-style’ communications. Instead, they actively seek information—and interrogate it when they find it, asking:
- What is this about?
- Who does it affect?
- Why should I care?
- When does it begin?
- Where do I find out more?
Journalistic story-telling processes are designed to answer those 'who, what, why' questions.
