Slate and Mortar Ltd

Slate and Mortar Ltd was hired by the University of Leeds to capture the employability offer of the University in an engaging and informative way. The aim was to encourage applications to the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Cultures. The team of 2-5 employees produced a pitch based on the University's brief and specific budget. They held regular meetings ahead of filming dates to discuss ideas and logistics. The project involved two full days of filming with participants, directing them, and inputting their own ideas and approach. They also edited the content, adhering to the brand style. The final deliverable was nine videos capturing the employability offer of each School within the Faculty.

The University of Warwick enlisted the services of Slate and Mortar Ltd to encourage more students from diverse backgrounds to join their WP Student Network. The company produced two videos. One was a storytelling video to support incoming students' transition to university, where students looked back and talked about their days prior to the university. The other video was a marketing advice video directed at current students, encouraging students with similar backgrounds to join. The team from Slate and Mortar was in charge of choosing the locations, helping with the lighting, and ensuring the student’s profiles were in full view. They also helped put the students at ease regarding the video content and were responsible for editing and post-production.

Slate and Mortar Ltd was hired by the University of Warwick to produce a series of videos sharing staff members' reflections on why they felt public engagement was important for their jobs. The company provided ideas to organize a complicated day of filming around 15 people. After the filming day, they provided quotes for editing final videos - including a variety of options to fit the University's budget. The final deliverables were individual videos of everyone filmed and a few videos compiling the best snippets targeted towards specific audiences. Slate and Mortar were quick to turn around the University's amends and kept them updated with things like staff annual leave and other jobs. They did not miss a single thing in several rounds of editing 20+ videos.
