2019 — “Everything In Between”
Pre Production Documentation
May 22, 2019
Prepared for Keytronic. By Inland Film Co, in partnership with Victory Media.
Film Objectives
First — tell the story of a product Keytronic has designed and manufactured.
Second — draw the correlation of everything in between design, manufacturing, and the end user.
Third (not least) — highlight Keytronic’s ability to help in design, manufacturing, and delivery of everything mechanical and/or electrical.
Mood
Approachable — using our style, and giving things a well lit look to make people feel like they can approach Keytronic.
Inspiring — we want the senior buyer at company X to want to work with Keytronic, because they feel like they can conquer the world with their services.
The Guide — Company X, and their senior buyer, are the “hero” in the story of whatever product they are developing. We want Keytronic to serve as the guide who takes them from Point A to Point B in their journey of becoming the hero.
some inspiratioN
The above example (inspiration) was obviously for Exxon Mobil, but the story is about how Exxon Mobil fuels everything from the farm, the trucks that deliver the eggs, the gas that heats up the eggs, etc., etc. This does a fantastic job of telling the story of where Exxon Mobil — behind the scenes of everything around one simple product; an egg.
The above example from Apple reminds us of the story about the mop in a box. We’d love to see something like this made someday around that story.
Shinola has a beautiful visual example of the look and feel we’d like to bring to this Keytronic film.
Inspiring
By using gorgeous visuals, a narration with a well written script, and the perfect song, we want and plan for people to feel inspired — finishing the video wanting to learn more about Keytronic and what they offer.
Tight Product Shots
We will get tight shots by getting up close and personal with wide angle lenses. The purpose of this will be to keep the focus on whoever or whatever is in frame at any moment and/or the action taking place (operation, procedure, etc.). There’s a sense of intimacy with shots like this, and you don’t risk your audience becoming distracted. Nothing else in the moment (as a viewer) matters. We’ll focus on a product the general population is ultra familiar with.
Wide Action Shots
We’ll want to get shots of very specific things happening, and gather the natural sound from them. In order for the mixture of tight to wide shots to work to their fullest potential, we’ll need to be diligent about talking through all the possibilities for the best action sequences.
THE GUIDE
Keytronic is the guide in their customer’s hero story. We’ll emphasize this through the behind the scenes look at the work Keytronic puts into design, implementation, and manufacturing processes.
APPROACHABLE
Keytronic doesn’t have to build the whole helicopter. We want to emphasize the ability to design and build with in a wide range of project scopes.
