Industry Experience

    paper Quarriers Stopover service

    Brief

    To showcase the work of the Quarriers young person’s homeless service in Glasgow. The only constraint was the video could not feature any of the people who were supported at the charity.

    Approach

    The approach taken was to show young people what it would be like arriving at the service for the first time. This was achieved with a visual walk through format, using various shots of the interior, exterior and staff. Added to this was a staff testimony and a short voice over from one of the people supported by the service. The edit was kept under 3 minutes to boost engagement.
