ICSV School Film
This School Film was written and filmed for the International Christian School of Vienna, providing private education from Kindergarten to 12th Grade.
As part of updating the school’s image film, we decided to create a unique film that showcases the school without any voice-over or interviews. A daring attempt at a creative approach to the classic school film came together showcasing different scenes and stages of the ICSV student and resolves at the last day of school and the student’s graduation as they take the stage and say thank you to the school that helped them become who they are today.
PROJECT CONCEPT
This school film took inspiration from the voiceless P&G ads from the Olympics in years past. Created to showcase journey, connection, learning, inspiration, mentorship, and impact, we selected several different parts of the school journey to showcase the experience that a student has at different stages of their time at ICSV.
For this film we used all normal students and teachers all during school related hours and our aim was to make each scene as authentic and real as possible while crafting an impactful story and showcasing specific characters in each scene.
This type of school film is very different from a classic school image film that normally showcases the director talking about the impact and legacy of the school. We chose to connect emotionally with the viewer and show the families and possible students what life is actually like rather than saying what its like.
