School Video Production Christchurch

In Christchurch

Christchurch has the University of Canterbury, with Lincoln University just outside the city, and many of its schools were rebuilt or redeveloped after the earthquakes. New buildings make a strong case for an updated enrolment film.

Christchurch is the South Island’s largest city, and its rebuilt central city has brought new venues, galleries and street art since the earthquakes. The Port Hills, Banks Peninsula and the Canterbury plains are all close by for wider shoots.

Billie travels to Christchurch for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.

What it’s for

Schools, kura, universities and training providers use video to show families and students what it is actually like to be there.

That means enrolment and prospectus films, campus tours, international student marketing, graduation and event coverage, staff recruitment and course explainers. Families compare schools online long before they visit, so the content has to be honest and look the part. Billie films with the care that consent and privacy require around students.

On the shoot

Privacy on campus

Names on uniforms, rolls on walls and screens in classrooms are checked before filming so nothing identifies a student who should not be identified.

Footage that lasts the year

Enrolment films are often shot in one term and used for a year or more, so grounds, uniforms and light are planned to suit the whole period.

Which retainer suits

Schools and tertiary providers with a year-round calendar suit Essential at $1,500 NZD a month: one session a month covers events, sport and campus life, with short-form edits for social. A new enrolment film is usually quoted as Bespoke Production. Larger institutions running student recruitment campaigns may need Creative at $3,000 NZD a month; the guide to retainers and one-off projects helps decide.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

Does Billie work in Christchurch?

Billie travels to Christchurch for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.

How do you handle students who cannot be filmed?

The school shares its consent list before the shoot, and the crew frames and edits around anyone without consent, so they are kept out of the finished video.
