CoSTume
Video capture and editing for a European project on the education and qualification of technicians.
Loads from youtube.com Videography Shot on location, with the project's own material and people
Editing A cut centred on the message, no filler
Subtitling Subtitles to watch without sound and to reach more languages
Context A European project, with partners and audiences from several countries
The challenge
A European project has a lot to say and little time
Problem
Funded projects pile up goals, partners and outcomes. Telling everything is the fastest way to make nothing stick.
Decision
We chose what the audience needs to grasp, and left the rest for the documents. The edit serves the message, not the report.
The piece
Inside the video
The production decisions
Why always subtitle
Much institutional video is watched without sound, on phones and in feeds. Without subtitles, the message doesn't get through. And in a European project, subtitles are also the gateway to other languages.
How to film a technical project without making it dry
By filming people doing, not objects sitting still. The gesture explains better than the description, and gives the piece a rhythm that voiceover alone wouldn't have.
