School video production that families actually watch

Films that show what your school is really like

Families decide very quickly whether a school feels right for their child, and most of them see a film before they ever walk through your gates. A good school film does what a brochure cannot: it lets people hear your pupils, see your teachers at work and get a sense of the place in a minute or two.

We are a creative studio that works only in education. Our school video production covers everything from a full promotional film for your website to short vertical videos for your social channels, all filmed by our own DBS-checked crew. You can see real examples above, made for schools, a multi academy trust, an alternative provision provider and a music tuition company.

Planned around your school day

A film should never get in the way of teaching. Before we arrive we agree a simple plan with you: which lessons, spaces and people we will film, and when. Most school films need one day of filming, sometimes two for a larger school or a trust, and we work quietly around the timetable so lessons carry on as normal.

We film the moments that make a school what it is: pupils arriving in the morning, practical lessons, music, sport, break times and the people who make it work. Where it helps, we add short interviews with pupils, staff or your headteacher, recorded somewhere calm so nobody feels on show.

One shoot, several films

Most schools need more than one film from a day of filming. A typical project gives you a main promotional film for your website and open evening, plus a set of short versions for social media, cut to the right shape for phones. Getting several films from one shoot is usually the best value, and it keeps everything looking like it belongs together.

The Coleshill School film above is a good example. It follows an ordinary school day and was made to be shared on social media in the run-up to the school’s open evening. Our Bournville School series shows the other side: five short vertical videos, from a day in the life of each phase to Sports Day, the Year 11 leavers’ assembly and prom.

Edited for the places people really watch

We edit with the viewer in mind. On social media, most people watch with the sound off and scroll quickly, so the first few seconds matter and words on screen help. On your website or at an open evening, people give a film more time, so it can breathe a little more. We deliver each film in the shapes and sizes you need, ready to post.

You see a first version and tell us what you would like changed. We then make the changes and send the finished films, along with short versions for social media if they were part of the plan.

Video for schools across the West Midlands and the UK

Much of our work is in and around Birmingham, including Bournville School, Smith’s Wood Academy in Solihull, The Coleshill School in North Warwickshire and Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust. We travel to schools across the UK for film projects too. Wherever you are, the process is the same: a short call, a clear, fixed quote, and a film made with care.
