On-location filming and reel editing for a Chichester children’s literacy charity.
Content creation, on-location filming, video editing.
The brief
Children’s BookFest brings authors, poets and illustrators into local schools, so every child meets an author and takes home a signed book. For some children, it’s the first book they’ve ever owned. The charity needed a short video that showed what a school visit feels like, so more people understood the work and why it matters.
How we made it work
I went into the schools with the authors and filmed a variety of footage, from the moment the children met them to their reactions and the signed books. Filming across three schools with three author interviews.
Then I edited it into a single reel that sums up the day. It’s short enough to watch in a scroll, and personal enough to show what the charity does, which is hard to put into a caption.
The charity posted it on its own page, with its own message about reading and the National Year of Reading.
What happened next
The reel reached 2,700 views and brought 103 likes and 17 comments.
It was also shared. People sent it on 20 times, reposted it 12 times and saved it 3 times, which suggests viewers wanted others to see it, and that’s what a charity wants from a video.
