Video creation

We work with a variety of video and audio production companies to produce English language videos, offering our comprehensive guidance and support throughout the process. We bring scripts to life while still meeting the specifications of your English language course, including incorporating CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). We work with all styles of video and short films specifically designed for ELT:

  • documentaries

  • social media style videos

  • voxpops

  • interviews

  • dramas

  • task-based videos

  • pronunciation videos

Scriptwriting

From initial concept to final draft, we write narratives and create characters that will engage learners and make your English language course unique. We will work closely with your in-house teams to write scripts that match your vision of the course by:

  • meeting your curriculum requirements

  • designing detailed storyboards

  • adapting existing narration

  • developing interesting, diverse characters

  • manipulating reuse video footage

  • creating new storylines from scratch with new or existing stock footage

Video management

From concept development to final delivery of a course’s video component, we can manage all of your video needs. Developing a comprehensive English language course with multimedia components is an enormous task, and you may find you don’t have the in-house support you need to manage the execution of a successful video offer. We will provide you with the support you need, whether it’s for a fully integrated video programme or just a single component. Let us bring our video expertise to your projects by:

  • achieving team consensus on initial ideas

  • working with authors and editorial teams on all stages of scripting

  • aiding in casting decisions and considering DEI standards

  • supporting wardrobe and make up

  • creating shooting scripts

  • supplying on-set support for your editorial team during filming days

  • participating in all stages of video review during post-production

  • collating team feedback with in-house editors

  • providing a single point of contact for communication with production companies

In person

ELT ImageMakers provides in-person support during video shoots, giving your editorial and/or media staff the guidance they need while working with the production company. We help with last-minute decision-making regarding unexpected script changes or adjustments, wardrobe selection, hair and make-up approval, and communication with interested parties on set or on a remote feed. Our presence ensures a smooth delivery of the performance you expect and avoids potential issues in post-production.

Remote

In recent years with the increase in popularity of green screen, production companies have been able to provide a direct feed to remote editorial teams allowing many of the in-person tasks to be successfully completed from afar. While not all shoots lend themselves to this format, the ones that do mean that any number of people from your editorial or media teams can be ‘present’ at the shoot without all of the travel costs and additional time. We can manage your team’s presence remotely and ensure a smooth shoot from your office.
