Brief

Rachel had gathered together 8 Business School students who were to be interviewed about their experiences of their placements abroad. The concept was to ask them each a specific question, which would allow us to cover a wide range of subjects and qualities about living and working abroad during a placement.

We filmed in our CLIPP studios, with each interviewee stood against the printed University backdrop. We employed the diagonal stripe of the artwork to give us a split-screen effect that allowed us to superimpose text onto the opposite side of the screen. The text was a literal echo of what they were saying at the time; it served as subtitling as well as a way of opening up these videos into non-sync uses, like on big screens where sound is not required. We ended up with 8 videos that ran between 1 and 3 minutes each. They were encoded for the VLE and as WMV for presentations.
