Handout Experience Video

Portraying personal experiences is one of the major pillars of Different Class. We put a lot of value on the quality and originality of the videos and, using a more autonomous approach, aim to tell a story through every video.

Thank you for going through our handout! Feel free to reach out to herlinde@differentclass.be if you have any further questions!yle

expectations
  • We expect our content creators to be able to film the images and record the audio alone. Check that you have the right equipment for recording audio (super important!) and let us know before you start if you have any problems or questions! 
  • Make sure you film in portrait (9:16) composition as we're ONLY using the videos on Instagram and TikTok.
  • After you send us the material, we will send a first draft to you and the partner to review. With your feedback, we will make the final version.
  • When you attend an event, we’d love you to share your personal experience with our audience. Keep it natural and intuitive, as if you’re talking to a friend right after it happened. No performance needed, just your honest perspective.

Mention that you’re making a video for a partner (for example: 'Because of my Different Class membership, I’m able to attend the event  for free!' Or 'I'm checking out this movie with my Cineville pass' or 'I got invited to check out the premiere of this film')

3. ON THE WAY TO THE CINEMA

SHOTS

  • Short clips of you walking, cycling, or commuting
  • Different angles
  • Quick shots that can be edited rhythmically

VOICE-OVER

  • Make it personal: tell us how you feel, tell us about funny things that happened the same day,...

4. EXTERIOR OF THE CINEMA/VENUE

SHOTS

  • The building from the outside and make sure the logo or some recognisable element is in this frame.
  • The ticket booth
  • Posters
  • Signage
  • Entrance details
  • Feel free to film many short shots for dynamic editing

VOICE-OVER

  • Share something personal here. For example, if you see a poster of Marty Supreme, you could say: 'I still want to see this one — it actually looks really interesting.' You can also mention other films on your watchlist.

I just pick something that interests me and I go.'

6. IN THE SCREENING ROOM
