VIDEO PRODUCTION NOTES
Black Ginger restaurant in Newtown Sydney was looking for a promotional video for their facebook page, to attract more customers and give a visual representation to their audience, with a comprehensive overview of their style, ambiance and menu.
The videographer was tasked with capturing the footage during an evening service, and make a short video edit to present the venue.
Being this recorded during actual business hours, the challenge here was to capture nice looking food while they were being prepared for customers, and get a glimpse of the finished dish just before it is taken out to the tables.
It was also necessary to speak to some of the guests and ask politely if it was ok to take some shots of the tables service, to which they agreed.
To keep the video as generic as possible, and to avoid putting too many real customer faces in the edit, most of the shots with customers involved were blurred, using either depth of field or post production blur.
The music used for the edit is a relaxing chilled track, to emphasise the fact that Black Ginger offers a relaxed atmosphere and enjoyable experience.
