As part of the keynote for Wor Culture: The workforce of the future/the future of the workforce on 7th July we are asking attendees, speakers and the wider sector to film a short video (no more than 2mins) answering the following two questions:
What is the biggest challenge facing the creative workforce? And what is your greatest hope?
Please read the guide below on capturing your footage and send your completed videos to alwaysalexayre@gmail.com using wetransfer.com
GUIDE TO CAPTURING YOUR FOOTAGE
BASICS FOR FILMING ON A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET
How it should look:
- Please film all content in LANDSCAPE, meaning the phone is turned on its side. This is super-important, so we don’t end up with inconsistency in image sizes throughout the film. Some platforms are tailored to portrait/vertical videos (like IG Stories and Facebook Stories), but for this film we’ll be presenting our footage as 1920×1080.
PLEASE FILM LIKE THIS:

- Try not to film anything in too dark of a space, and make use of natural light where possible. For example, you might want to film your subject and use a main window to cast daylight onto their face…BUT be careful not to silhouette them in a dark space with a window overexposed behind them.
- Be sure to give at least a couple of seconds after pressing record, before any action takes place, and the same again at the end. This allows enough time to cut into the footage in the edit (the equivalent of allowing time to call “action” on a film set).
How it should sound:
- Please film all interviews in a quiet space, where there is minimal background noise such as traffic, or chatter. Make sure any background televisions or sound systems are switched off. Because of the lower quality microphones on phones and tablets – where possible, avoid conducting interviews outside because of wind distortion.
- If time, have a brief listen back to your interviews after you’ve filmed them, to make sure people’s voices are clearly recorded.
