Our Process

Step 01 Pre-Production

Activities
1. Brand Understanding

Before embarking on a video and photoshoot for schools, we work on understanding the brand. A thorough grasp of the school's unique identity and goals is essential to ensure that every visual element captured aligns with the brand's essence. The next crucial step is to establish clear and comprehensive guidelines, which should outline the visual aesthetics, messaging, and overall tone that align with the school's brand identity. Defining dos and don'ts becomes important to ensure that every aspect of the shoot adheres to the established brand standards. This includes specifying appropriate clothing, settings, and behaviors to maintain consistency in representing the school's image.

2. Shooting Script & Casting

By diligently following these guidelines we move further to craft a shooting script which involves outlining a detailed plan for the shoot, including the scenes to be captured, the sequence of shots, the needs of the props, and the requirement of any dialogue or voiceovers that must be aligned with the school calendar, also our team forecasts some events and incorporates those in the script. However, an equally important step is the casting process, which is also done in this stage of the process. where students, teachers, and staff members are selected collectively by our school team. The selected ones have to appear in the visuals.

3. Props Shopping

In our shooting script, we quantify the props which involves identifying the specific items required to create the desired visual elements and storytelling elements in alignment with the school's brand. Once the inventory is outlined, we demand the budget from our clients which our team will utilize intelligently on props shopping. Effective props shopping ensures that the shoot runs smoothly and that the resulting visuals effectively convey the school's identity and message, enhancing the overall impact of the project. But yes we would like you to know that this budget also includes our coffee and a few of us even like pizzas as well.
