Filming Gravesham Riverside Festival

Gravesham Borough Council's Riverside Festival is an event that brings the community together for a day of celebration and entertainment. As the exclusive video production partner to the event, we worked with the council to capture the festival's diverse activities and lively atmosphere, creating an exciting film that promotes the festival puts Gravesend on the map.

The success of capturing the festival's essence relies on hiring the right crew and delegating a section of the festival to each person. We put together a team of three videographers, each covering a specific area. We briefed each team member on the style of shooting we are looking to capture, and the type of energy we want to bring to the final edit. We strategically assign roles and responsibilities, ensuring comprehensive coverage without overwhelming any team member. This approach maximises our ability to capture every special moment authentically.

In the edit, we aim to create an exciting video that leaves the viewer feeling like they were there themselves. By sifting through hours of footage and using just the very best clips, we are able to create an uplifting image of the festival, showing it as an incredible event.

Gravesham Borough Council uses the highlights video of the festival to promote future events on their social media platforms. They  create engaging posts and share the video across their official Facebook and YouTube channels. The video can showcase the vibrant atmosphere, diverse activities, and joyful moments from the festival, showing local residents what a great place they live in.

The video will also be used to share with internal stakeholders and show the success of the event. These videos are always a highlight during council meetings.

By leveraging the highlights video, Gravesham Borough Council can effectively promote the Riverside Festival, attract more attendees, and strengthen community engagement and support for this annual event.
