How we filmed the RLF grant recipient interviews.
01 · The briefLet writers explain the difference
The RLF wanted writers who had received a grant to describe, honestly, what the support meant.
03 · The outcomeFour films with real weight
Four interview films, one for each writer. Shared across online, digital and social channels.
02 · Our approachOne studio, four conversations
We filmed each writer in the same daylit studio, with a wide and a close camera, and let them tell their story at their own pace.
04 · What we deliveredOne studio, four writers
Four interview films, around 2 min 30 sec each
Two-camera interviews in a daylit studio
Edited around each writer’s story
Silent pre-roll loop
