Blended Learning Promotional Video

The brief

Translate the complexity of a blended-learning degree into a cinematic narrative piece.

Our approach

To explore the true nature of the course and the lived reality of students, we conducted pre-interviews with contributors that helped us unlock the story. During this process, we negotiated and pre-approved access to unique locations across multiple sites.

Our pre-production informed the filming strategy on production days and enabled us to capture the unique energy of each person in their chosen environment.

The result

Our Take

Pre-Production is the Most Important Part of Any Film We Make

Video Starts with the Pre-Production Process. For us, that means collaboration. First of all it's important to breakdown what mistakes in pre-production can lead to: Objectives are vague and the purpose of the video gets confused, Stakeholders quietly disagree behind the scenes, Left turns in messaging during post-production (when the footage is already locked in and shoot days are used up), Reactive feedback that undermines the strategy behind the work.

Why We Compose Original Music for Our Films

You might not know this, but videographers spend hours searching for the right stock music... and even then, you've probably heard it before. Rendah produces original music for film, including bespoke soundtrack for documentary projects, because music sets the tone before the first image even fades in.

On Set with Five Cinema Cameras

When we plan a multi camera interview setup, usually 2 will do an "A" angle (usually medium torso shot)‍ and "B" angle (either tighter framing or sometimes a wider frame if we want to show off the location). Most interview framing composition goes this way and this is the standard for professional video production, whether that is a cinematic documentary interview or a corporate talking head piece. For both we use our Sony FX6 cameras.‍ So what could possibly justify using 5?
