Friday Film Club
Every Friday we try and get the team together to share and watch films that we’ve found inspiring. It’s a great way to keep up to date with new techniques and ways of telling stories.
This week we’ve been watching video from Great Lakes Outreach – who work in Burundi – and Helen & Douglas House – a children’s hospice.
Great Lakes Outreach - The Runner
WHY?
A stylish and cinematic way of telling a founder’s story and explaining exactly what a charity does.
WE LOVE
Beautiful photography – gorgeous slo-mo and imaginative shots.
Unusual storytelling – a clever hook and staggering personal story drive the narrative.
Great sound – lots of background noise and sound effects create real atmosphere.
Helen & Douglas House - Every Little Life
WHY?
A clever new way of explaining what the charity does.
WE LOVE
Natural conversations – lovely snippets of sweet chats between staff and kids.
Using interviews in unusual ways – no staged, sit down interviews, instead they use voice over and pics to great effect.
