the gatehouse : ANNIVERSARY video CAMPAIGN
Everyone encounters life's chaos and storms.
We can easily get stuck.
But are we REALLY powerless and alone?
Gatehouse ILLUMINATES a pathway towards change.
As clients grow and progress, they become a Gatehouse for others to see.
THE PALINDROME
No one will understand the support I need
You can no longer convince me that
My ability to overcome is greater than the obstacles
My fear has shattered my confidence
My anxiety has silenced my hope
My opportunity, lost
————— CUT TO: INTERVIEWS —————
My loss, IS my opportunity
My hope has silenced my anxiety
My confidence has shattered my fear
My ability to overcome is greater than the obstacles
You can no longer convince me that
No one will understand the support I need.
filming APPROACH
using the Horatio Alger examples as visual inspiration, we will film portrait shots of each woman and INCORPORATE interview portions of their success stories.
single portrait shots will feature each woman looking up into the camera in darker clothing and in a darker setting showcasing isolation and then will transform into lighter clothing and a lighter background as the video progresses.
at the end of the video, we will see the transformation of the three women in community together around a kitchen table sharing tea, stories, and ENCOURAGEMENT.
WE WILL RECORD AND INTERCUT VOICEOVERS of EACH woman READING THE PALINDROME.
a warm house setting will be utilized that incorporates elevated production design.
