mental health documentary video for ITV

veetoo’s creative director Stephen Bradley was commissioned by Northern Ireland based television broadcaster UTV (ITV’s Northern Ireland region channel), to produce a documentary on teenage mental health that would give insights into what life is like for someone affected by what can be a very debilitating condition.

Production overview:

This video production about mental health was started with research on mental health among teenaagers, when we consulted with medical and mental health services professionals, those affected by the condition and family members of those with mental health issues.

It was then decided that this Belfast based video production would be shown through the eyes of a male teenager suffering from schizoaffective disorder.

The script was written by someone with the condition to give a true account of what life is like for them and their family members.

Because of it’s sensitive subject matter, we cast an actor to portray someone suffering from mental health issues who spoke about their thoughts and feelings in the form of a monologue.

Summed up in two phrases – because developing coping skills to successfully live with a serious mental health condition is of primary importance, we named the production Holding Together. Ending the video’s title on a positive note, the words ‘and pulling through’ were added to indicate things can be so much better than expected when coping skills becomes part of everyday life for someone with a mental health condition.

Doped up – we tilted the camera to illustrate the effect strong medication can have on someone recenty admitted for a serious mental health condition.

Into the unknown – as limited understanding of mental health support practices in hospitals and special care units can be frightening and confusing for the family of someone recently admitted, we framed our actors small in the frame to illustrate their emotions.

Inside out – we focused tight on the face of the actor portraying a young male living with adverse mental health conditions, illustrating that the stongest remedy for mental health problems often comes from within.

hotel video production for Belmore Court

Commissioned to produce a cost effective video to promote newly fitted out rooms at Belmore Court in County Fermanagh, we developed an edit script that allowed us to include both photographs and video, keeping  videography and video edit costs to a minimum.

Production overview.

SHOOTING SCRIPT: After preproduction meetings, our client approved the shooting script we created, ensured the Belmore Court Hotel was shown to be modern, welcoming, spacious and close to nearby shopping and tourism amenities for those visiting County Fermanagh and it’s beautiful lakes and hills.

SCHEDULE: Filmed over one long working day, shooting began at 8am to allow us to film guests arriving in and enjoying the hotel’s breakfast room.

As customer care was to be an important feature in the video, we then filmed one of the hotel’s reception staff welcoming guests as they checked in at the hotel’s lobby.

After the hotel rooms had been serviced, we filmed a standard suite and then an executive suite to show the range and size of accomodation at the hotel.

We then set up our camera outsude the hotel’s main frontage and filmed guests after they checked out and making their way towards the hotel’s parking area with their luggage.

Filming completed at dusk, allowing us to capture the warm glow of the hotel’s interior and exterior lighting, as it complimented the light of the setting sun.

 

END USE: The edited video was packaged and supplied to the client for online use, trade show exhibition and for television, PR and press use.
