Project Overview

A short-form event film created for Electric Bear, capturing the Heartlands Creative Forum and the people, conversations and ideas that shaped the day.

The brief was to turn an afternoon of talks, networking and creative discussion into a concise, engaging piece of content that could communicate the atmosphere and value of the event across social media.

My Role

I handled the filming independently using a single-camera setup, working within a live event environment while keeping disruption to a minimum.

Coverage included:

• Speaker moments
• Audience reactions
• Candid interactions
• Networking and conversations
• Wider atmosphere and event details

The focus was on capturing authentic moments rather than heavily staged content.

Creative Approach

The final edit combines talks, audience engagement and informal moments to build a broader picture of the forum.

I used a fast, purposeful pace to keep the film engaging while still allowing the personalities and atmosphere of the event to come through.

The structure was designed to give viewers a clear sense of the scale, energy and community behind Heartlands Creative Forum.

Final Outcome

The result is a polished, social-first event highlight showcasing the people, ideas and creative energy of the day.

The finished film gave Electric Bear and the event organisers a concise piece of promotional content that could be used across social media and to support future events.
