This assignment entailed the shooting and production of B-roll footage for the broadcasters plus audio files for radio stations and provision of archived and new photography to the newspapers and online news sites. In spite of stiff competition on the day of the announcement (Blair resigning, the Sheffield floods, Henman’s victory and Paris Hilton’s bolt for freedom) good coverage was achieved across all mediums. We also produced a 3 minute film for the Barclays website which can be viewed at: http://tinyurl.com/36jb6t

(Click here to see other shots from this assignment)

VisualMedia specialise in producing compelling executive portraiture that is a little bit more than your standard ‘head & shoulder’ shots. To this end, we worked with ISIS PR to take pictures of the CEO of their client Redstone Communications. As the company’s technology involves the use of a lot of fibre optics this was developed on as a theme, as well as focusing on their transition from older technology to new.  Pictures are to be used to accompany future editorial pieces.

The word ‘Queenco’ was then added in post production and images were sent out to international publications on float day.
