Director's Cut

Create the next blockbuster or a new corporate infomercial. Director's Cut is a versatile and fun team building event.

The silver screen meets team building in this versatile programme. The Directors Cut is a movie making format designed to bring groups together and to encourage creativity.

Objectives

Teams must communicate their ideas effectively, delegate the workload and manage their time well if they are to create a quality end product. The activity primarily examines planning, resource management, creativity and communication.

The Activity

The Directors Cut is a creative team based event that can be run both indoors and outdoors depending on personal choice. During the first part of this format, teams of participants must use video cameras, props, make up and costumes to create the box office smash of year!

The teams will have a set time period to create a 5 minute feature on a pre decided topic. This could be a remake of a classic film or something more in tune with current business objectives such as a company advert or infomercial. Our team is on hand in the run up to you event to tailor the content of your film to your exact requirements.

Prior to filming we encourage a detailed planning session with teams brainstorming their ideas and making a story board.  During this section the group must also decide roles with the team and write a script.  Each group will have a detailed booklet; with a guide to the activity and what is required and also information on the cameras and filming tips.

The teams must meticulously plan and then film their topic sequentially in order to produce a high quality product. Only with a steady hand and nerves of steel can the team produce an Oscar winning piece.

We will provide the teams with pre selected titles and themes – we have many options to choose from!  There will also be plenty of extra costume and props available to all the team.
