I've made three promos for educational establishments over the last year, and this one, for QVS, the only boarding school in Scotland for the children of serving members of the Armed Forces, was the first.
I had hoped to get the kids to make their own films but for various reasons this didn't happen, so the programme is more of a traditional observational documentary than it might have been.
That said, the school were great, gave me complete access and allowed me to show aspects of the every day life of the kids and staff that most clients would have been very reluctant to include. I think the finished film is the stronger for it and this clip is just one example.
