Cycle 2: Equipment use preparation

A sequence of scenes depicting the movement of equipment from storage to a location of use are planned out in pre-production and shot continuously and in sequence during production.

 

Cycle 3: Instructional Video

Cycle 2: Accessing the Facility

Sequence of scenes depicting the journey from home to the facility are planned out in pre-production and shot continuously and in sequence during production.

 

Cycle 3: Rule #1

Short video that informs newcomers to the facility about one of its rules (e.g. the rule that only one person talks at a time that is designed to encourage listening and facilitate communication). Video can include interviews, visual evidence and contextualization, audio layers such as music and narration.
