The 'Holmefield' Veterinary promo is the most basic of all the corporate videos. The cinematography
uses relatively simple mids, and close ups and a couple of wide shots one of
which is the opening of the video. An establishing shot of the Holmefield vets
sign and building. The camera chooses to be mainly handheld moving around small
and confined spaces for example the operating theater (0:49). A panning shot of
the office space is used in the vets office area at (01:09). Which is the most
creative shot within the promo.
The second of the wide shots at (1:28), which
is a shot of the vets waiting room. All of the people that are represented in
the film are of British nationality and white. Besides an Asian lady who again
comes across as that of British residency. The gender representation is heavily
towards women. except for a single male on three occasions only for a few
seconds at a time. Once at (00:42) again (00:52) and then lastly at (01:07). This
gives a strong impression that the vets is primarily a female based profession.
The promo gives
the impression from the outset it wasn't devised to be marketed to a large
audience or perhaps to a wide range of nationalities or specific demographic. Since
Holmefield's are only a local veterinary business there target audience are localized.
Promoting the facilities at the vets possibly even devised to be played within
a waiting room to attract new custom and reassure current custom of their values
and the care they provide. The budget of the piece is quite low and this is
apparent. But significantly understandable due to the nature of why it was
created.
The content of the piece consists mainly of
interviews and vox pops of the vets and
the nurses.
There are
two pieces of music played in the video, the first plays from the start
until (01:06), this song sounds quite
happy and upbeat.
The content
of the promo consists of vets and then the people that work at the surgery;
talk about themselves and what they do. The second song starts at (01:06), it's
a bit more downbeat and slow. Used to create dramatic effect as the vets and
nurses begin discussing more serious subject matter such as "working at a high standard" and
being inspected by "The Royal college of Veterinary surgeons and The
College of animal Welfare".
