a working-day story

Behind-the-scenes videos for community groups

Use a working-day story to help someone understand how to join an activity.

Open before the business is ready for customers. The project below gives you a starting sequence, an editing brief and a concrete question to answer before sharing it.

The footage to gather

The meeting place
One activity in progress
The next meeting details

Keep a little time before and after each action. Record the detail at a readable scale and keep the unedited files so that you can check what a cut leaves out.

Plan a working-day story

Opening

Open before the business is ready for customers.

Middle

Follow one preparation step through to completion with its natural sound.

Ending

Show the point where the work becomes useful to a customer.

Review it for community groups

Get permission for identifiable participants and verify the current organiser details.

Ask before approving: Does the sequence explain the care behind the work?

Watch once without reading your brief. If the intended answer is missing, revise the sequence or record the missing evidence before adding more effects.
