3/26/14 National Women’s History Month Video

My National Women’s History Month video, my second video for BBBSCM, has been posted!

 

I think this is the best video I have ever done—I really challenged myself to get interesting, dynamic b-roll, and took more liberties with zoom/cropping and creating an emotional tone of the video. I really like the messaging of this video because it speaks to the power of mentoring and especially the power of female mentoring, BY females FOR females. It highlights Women’s History not by beating the viewer over the head but by creating an uplifting vibe that encourages the viewer to believe in the importance of female mentoring.

I am also very proud of this video because of the restraints it had. I made this video in two weeks, interviewed seven people, had very limited filming space, and had a lot of unexpected fall-throughs: like Littles that were absent the day I was there, interviewees that didn’t have access to quiet filming spaces, and a deadline that was pushed back sooner than I thought.

The one thing I wish I did differently was to include the BBBSCM watermark as well as a large ending logo. I can’t believe I forgot these things. I remembered the watermark for the first video, so not only does this video now show inconsistent branding, but also flat out ABSENT branding! I would reupload it, but the video is linked to our e-newsletter.

*Noting this down for next time*
