Planning and filming
What John handles.
The process starts with goals, audience and story. Interviews, B-roll, audio, edit structure, captions, social versions and any aerial sequences are planned as parts of one production.
Story and interview plan
Audience, message, contributors and useful questions are settled before the cameras arrive.
Picture and sound
Interviews, supporting B-roll, professional audio and controlled lighting are captured as one coherent production.
Edit and colour
The master film is shaped around clarity, pace and brand tone, then colour graded and prepared for its intended channels.
Versions and captions
Shorter, vertical, square and captioned versions can be planned with the master edit, avoiding an awkward retrofit later.
Aerial footage
CAA-qualified drone operation can add establishing sequences when the site, airspace, permissions and weather allow.
Original music
John can compose and record a project-specific soundtrack when a distinctive alternative to stock music will strengthen the film.
