Recently I delivered another bespoke filmmaking tuition through Film Oxford for Datto Inc. staff at their EMEA offices in Reading. This was a 1 day workshop tailored to suit the specific needs of the marketing department.
The team required practical support to help them shoot interviews that were of sufficient quality to use in their content marketing and social media campaigns. We began the day exploring the different scenarios in which the team may be acquiring video. Then we examined various types of recording equipment with a discussion about the pros and cons of each in different applications - such as Vox Pops and Testimonials captured on location.
This was followed by an exercise where the group set up and filmed a more formal seated interview. Students had the opportunity to get ‘hands-on’ with the kit including camera, sound and lighting. Roles were assigned in rotation - including Director, Producer, Interviewer, Sound Recordist, Camera Operator and Lighting technician.
