What Makes A Good Story?

What Makes A Good Story?

How does one communicate the potential of emotional story-telling in a 2-minute showreel?

Spark Films recently relocated to Bristol, and sought the help of some Bristol Media colleagues to help solve this problem.

Our stated company mission is to make films 'to believe in’ to drive customer confidence and sales, essentially by making the brand the hero of an inspiring story. Well, that’s easy to say, but what does ‘a film to believe in’ actually look and sound like?

We teamed up with local sound magicians Ben Mason and Ruth Rainey at We Are Audio, and the super-talented Bristol based composer Jim Cornick, to try to capture what we think makes a good story- something authentic, beautiful and meaningful that connects with our hearts and our brains. 

Here we present 5 heroes in 2 minutes, an artist, a doctor, a scientist, a composer and a mother.

Are you listening?

If you like what you see (and hear), our small team of video and audio experts is ready to help you make a film your clients can believe in too.
