EDUCATION VIDEO

The key to a successful school video is planning.  The important points to consider are:

  • The weather
  • The timetable and curriculum
  • Staff/student/location availability.

We recommend allocating one member of staff to oversee the video production.  We can then sit down with them prior to the shoot and discuss the best way to execute the film with speed, efficiency and style. 

Chiltern Learning Trust

 

We recommend utilising a two man film crew shooting simultaneously in different parts of the school.  This way we can cover most, if not all the syllabus in a few days aswell as the necessary interiors and exteriors that show your school in the best light.  Our production assistant Jay, keeps us in check, making sure we are in the right classroom at the right time.

 

We also recommend that you select a cross section of well behaved students from all age groups who are willing and able to ‘star” in the numerous curriculum scenarios that will require filming.

Chiltern Learning Trust

We have just delivered a suite of six education videos for the Chiltern Learning Trust.  The Chiltern Learning Trust is a multi-academy trust comprising of Denbigh High School, Challney High School for Boys and Dallow Primary School and it is led by a Board of Directors which consists of representatives from all three schools.

The aim of the films is to attract and recruit new teachers to the schools within the Chiltern Learning Trust in Luton.  Filmed over three days, we shot a wealth of great footage; interviews, classroom action and location filming, resulting in a library of footage from which we could then shape into the final six edits.

Due to the amount of footage required we split into two film units during filming so we could cover all the curriculum and location shots.  We were lucky with the weather, particularly when we filmed out in the countryside of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

We have a large portfolio of Education videos ranging from primary to senior schools, primarily prospectus videos but also recruitment and social media videos including foreign language versions.

Prospectus videos

To begin with please consider our Top Ten Video Tips!

  1. What is the aim of the video? To inform, motivate, educate?
  2. Who is your target audience?
  3. What is the message you want to convey? What you want to say and to whom, will form the basis of your script.
  4. Where will the film be shown? Website, Parents evening or giveaway DVD?
  5. What is your timescale? When will the film need to be delivered by?
  6. Do you have any specific requirements? Motion graphics, special effects or animation?
  7. Budget? It’s good to have an idea of what you want to spend.
  8. How do you want the video to look? This is called the “treatment”. Have you seen something that you like? Think about a Voiceover’s and Music.
  9. Filming logistics? Availability of staff, locations and resources

The Samuel Ryder Academy

http://vimeo.com/51587404 This is a school video production we shot for The Samuel Ryder Academy in St.Albans, Hertfordshire.   It was shot over three days, covering a huge shot list and was delivered just four days after the shoot was completed! This is what Matt Gauthier, the Head Teacher had to say……. “We asked Film Infinity to produce a high quality and informative video on the opening of our new Academy.  From the outset, they were professional, well organised and flexible.  They were able to get the best out of the students as well as providing impartial advice to the School to ensure the best outcome.  We are absolutely delighted with the outcome as it manages to both capture the ethos and culture of the School, as well as be informative and entertaining.  I would recommend them without hesitation and will be using them again in the future.” And he did!!  We went back to make another film for them!! http://vimeo.com/75382690 And again!!!!! https://vimeo.com/105752791

Its probably a good idea to have a voiceover artist narrating the film, delivering that key information that you want potential parents and students to hear.  We can help you formulate the script.

Bell Language School

This is the one of several videos that we have just completed for the Bell Cambridge Language School this month.  It was a thoroughly enjoyable project from start to finish, working closely with Anna and Natalie throughout the entire production process.  They had a very clear idea of what they wanted and produced a great set of storyboards to work from, so we all knew what was required. We were blessed with stunning weather and a very amiable collection of students and staff during the shoot.   Bell is located on the outskirts of Cambridge, surrounded by stunning countryside and set within beautiful gardens but within easy reach of the town centre.  We had a very busy three day shoot, covering a vast shot list within the school and also in town shooting a variety of famous landmarks.  The amazing facilities and buildings were great to film in and we are very pleased with the results, as were Bell!  The intention is to feature this main film on the web site  http://www.bellenglish.com/Cambridge and feature the teaser films on Facebook.

And we also made several foreign language teaser films

“Both Chris and Ian exceeded our expectations. With a can-do attitude nothing was too much trouble. They are not only great cameramen and producers, but they proved that they could manage any situation including directing and filming international children in London on the busiest and hottest day of the year! As for the final video, when they sent the first edit through, my reaction was ‘wow!’. In addition to all of this, they were simply just nice people to work with.”

We have worked in a huge variety of educational establishments (Nurserys, schools, colleges and universities) shooting both video and stills photography.  We listen to your ideas and take on board the ethos and culture of your place of learning, incorporating these factors into the finished film.

Oasis Academy Enfield

Here is the finished film we made for the Oasis Academy Enfield. Shot over several days in July and September we managed to cover a huge variety of subjects and locations in a short space of time.  As you can see the buildings are visually stunning with lots of available light for us to work with.  The staff and students were superb, helping us to achieve exactly what the school wanted.  The key to successfully shooting a prospectus video is organisation and planning, thanks to Matt and Irene for this, they really nailed it!!  The weather, the existing timetable, staff availability are just some of the logistical elements that have to be considered when drawing up the shoot schedule.
