Videos for PG Cert

Brief

We were asked to make some videos for this course, which would not only replace their current videos but also build on them to create a suite of video which addressed some really important issues concerning teenage cancer care in the UK. We worked closely with the staff in the Teenage Cancer Trust Young Persons Oncology Unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Edgbaston to arrange interviews with young people who are or have suffered from cancer, and filmed them discussing a variety of issues with great force and candour.

Products

We arranged each discussion as a group conversation in a kitchenette area in the oncology department of the QE, using a 4-camera set up to record everything with the least disruption possible. This was synched in the edit suite and the conversations were edited with great efficiency. We also shot some interviews with experts (a consultant oncologist and a specialist cancer care nurse) which were also brought into the mix. We used logos from Coventry and the TCT to brand each video.
