WHY ARE PROMOTIONAL SCHOOL VIDEOS SO IMPORTANT?
In today’s digital age, decision-making has changed. According to Google, consumers need 11 touchpoints before making a choice. The same applies to parents choosing a school. It’s crucial for independent schools to have a strong online presence, and a promotional video is a powerful tool. It helps you stand out, boost admissions, reach new markets, and even reinvent your school’s image.
Video uniquely showcases your school’s personality and communicates a large amount of information quickly. In just a few minutes, parents and children can learn far more than by browsing your website. With short attention spans, it’s no surprise that 72% of people prefer video over text. For independent schools, a promotional video is the next best thing to attending an open day.
How we work
At Small Films we offer an end-to-end video production service where we can take your project from just the seed of an idea, all the way through to the finished film. Video production is broken down in to three key stages: Pre-Production, Production and Post-Production.
Pre-Production
During Pre-Production, we will create concepts for your videos, turn those concepts into scripts or storyboards and bring the best specialists onboard for your particular project.
Production
We now make all arrangements for the shoot including booking locations, actors and buying props. We film to the highest standard using a professional team with the most up-to-date equipment. All our shoots are risk-assessed with the right permits and insurance to make sure everyone is safe.
Post-Production
Once the filming is completed, the editing begins. At this stage, we bring your story to life by cutting the shots together in the right order, adding music, sound effects, voice-over and any visual effects that are required. We may use motion graphics or animation to add another layer to the live action recording. Finally we colour-grade the entire film to balance the skin-tones and enhance the vibrancy of the production.
