Professional Practice Unit: Research - Possible Shots and Ideas

With a commission project set I went onto the client's website to better understand what it is the company does.

"In combining the three elements of Property Consulting, Architectural Design and Residential Agency in three associated businesses, Harrisons have endeavoured to provide their clients with the full spectrum of property and development expertise. Each separate firm within the Harrisons’ Group is able to provide professional and effective advice in their own sphere of expertise, and combine where required to provide a comprehensive property and development service.”

“Harrisons Chartered Surveyors are an independent firm of property Consultants, Agents and Valuers, providing a range of range of property services to a wide spectrum of companies, banking and institutional organisations, public sector development agencies, local authorities, housing associations, leisure operators and educational establishments.

Harrisons have an extensive and specialist knowledge of Kent, and provide the following portfolio of services and departments:

- Agency and development department - commercial sales and lettings, commercial and residential development, investment, planning and regeneration.

- Professional and management department - asset management, expert wines and arbitration, landlord and tenant, rating tax and compulsory purchase, valuation and survey, rent review, lease renewal.”

Key points of their services:

- Sales and lettings.

- Development, planning and regeneration.

- Valuation and Survey.

These seem to be the key points that stick out for me so these aspects should be included in the video.

For a VT workshop for the Studio Production Unit I brought in my GoPro for a specific shot. Me and Andy got talking about using the GoPro for our commission project. An idea we came up with was to have an employee of the company wear the GoPro on their head with a head-strap (that I also own) and draw a design or plan for one of their clients. 

I'd like to get some use out of the GoPro but the only downside is that the lens is very wide and that in turn results in a 'fisheye' look when filming:

Although it does look good in its own right I'm not sure if it will aesthetically look good for a company's promotional video. Especially if that company doesn't work in a field that a GoPro could show off their services.
