Angelo Sison Psychology - Men’s Mental Health Workshop
Angelo aimed to create a powerful video that highlights the importance of mental health within his community. The project sought to showcase the significance of an 8-week men's mental health workshop, designed to address key issues and topics that matter most to the students. Additionally, the video aimed to emphasize Angelo’s role in encouraging men to be more open about their emotions and embrace the conversation around mental well-being.
This case study showcases our collaboration with Angelo to create an engaging and thought-provoking narrative that captures the essence of the workshop, amplifies the importance of mental health, and inspires men to take proactive steps toward their emotional well-being.
Project Framework
Flow State Films partnered with Angelo to create a powerful video that highlighted the importance of mental health awareness for students. Our approach included:
1. Pre-Production Planning:
We worked closely with Angelo to fully understand the goals of the 8-week men’s mental health workshop. Through detailed discussions, we identified key themes such as emotional openness, the importance of mental well-being, and the challenges men face when discussing mental health. This allowed us to ensure these critical elements were highlighted throughout the project.
2. Production Expertise:
Our team focused on capturing the authentic atmosphere of the workshop, showcasing the students' experiences and the impact of the sessions. We filmed moments highlighting the support and camaraderie fostered within the program and emphasized the positive shift toward emotional openness.
3. Post-Production Details:
In post-production, we crafted a compelling narrative that seamlessly wove together the raw footage and the interview with Angelo. We paid close attention to pacing, sound design, and music selection to amplify the emotional depth of the message. The final video was designed to inspire and motivate men to embrace conversations about their mental health, encourage vulnerability, and seek support.
This collaboration with Angelo resulted in a video that resonated deeply with the audience, reinforced the importance of mental health in men’s lives, and empowered viewers to take proactive steps toward emotional well-being.
