Filming & Editing

Before filming

  • Make sure that we have permission to use any logo
  • Prepare opening and closing slides (size 1600 x 900 px); leave a white border around the slide

During filming

  • Take lots of notes!
  • If we film live interview(s), make notes of questions that were repeated, which take is the best, any background noises, where to add slides, etc.
  • Anyone featured in films will need to sign a consent form, downloadable from the University photography and GDPR toolkit

After filming

  • Send notes to the editor; if relevant, send notes to the Unit for them to choose shots
