PARAMETERS FOR FILMING AND POSTING:

  • Team members will be directed as to which day to publish a Story

  • If necessary, team members will be directed to create a Post

  • UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are students to be filmed by Team Members for Stories and Posts.

  • Before filming, ask for permission from the contact/staff present on the day

    • Explain the purpose of filming (for stories on socials), explain what, where and when of filming

    • Avoid filming on school grounds outside of the main space used

    • If filming involves moving outside of school grounds through areas where students may also be moving, film a selfie in order to minimise risk

  • REMEMBER: Our priority is the impacts we create and smashing out an exceptional day. Anything to do with social media comes second to this. When directed to create a story, ensure this does not effect the running of a day.

    • Film only if the time is available, and after any set up/pack up/feedback

ADVICE FOR FILMING AND POSTING:

  • Film videos/take photos in portrait, not landscape.

  • Keep videos under 30 seconds (ideally 15-20 seconds).

  • Create variety in your story posts:

    • Don’t just film flat against a wall/screen, think of using angled shots or creating depth by standing further away

    • Film at different parts of the day (before the start, during breaks, away from students during the Epic Race to capture the noise, etc)

  • Occasionally have props (ER gear, hoops, mats, etc)

  • Use camera movement (don’t always have static videos - pan the camera or walk with the camera)

  • Avoid using music, even in the background, as this can cause a copyright claim and disable the audio for the video

  • Ensure that different facilitators have turns at being the focal point of the video - we want as even of a spread of as many team members as possible on Stories

  • Don’t always introduce yourself in dialogue - jump right in and include the facilitator’s name in a caption

  • When directed to film a STORY VIDEO, add specifics around the time frame to boost the “real time” element

    • “Hey guys, we’re here at Auburn South Primary, it’s a sunny Tuesday and we’re ready to jump into Session 1!”

  • When directed to film a POST VIDEO, try to lessen the specifics around the time frame so that the post can be scheduled for a later day/time

    • “Hey guys, we’re here at Auburn South Primary, we’re ready to have a blast with some Year 5’s and help them become better leaders!”
