School Video Production Dunedin

In Dunedin

Dunedin is a student city built around the University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic, and students make up a large share of its population. The campus, the Water of Leith and the historic buildings around them give education films a recognisable look.

Dunedin is a university city with Victorian and Edwardian architecture, the wildlife of the Otago Peninsula and a long independent music history. The harbour, St Clair beach and the steep streets give a lot of different looks in a small area.

Billie travels to Dunedin 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

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.

Consent for students

Students only appear where the school holds consent from parents or caregivers, or from adult students themselves, and anyone without it is kept out of frame.

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 Dunedin?

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

Can you film on normal school days?

Yes, and that is usually best: real classes and real breaks look more honest than staged ones. Shoots are planned with the school to fit around the timetable.
