A student to student film concept

  • The personal approach
  • short, precise stories
  • adress barriers, doubts and expectations
  • different stories and angles from different students
  • long term relevance/use
  • ’hand held’ film concept

We know from contact with our target group that they seek dialouge as well as realistic and credible insight into the university students’ daily life. Our films are intended to be authentic and ’home made’ and while not supporting dialogue bring the potential student closer to the life as a student.

From visitors at Open Day at UCPH:

Comments on the films:

  • It has been a great help to figure out if studying at UCPH is

something I want to do. The films are useful especially when you don’t know many university students yourself

  • Good initiative! Our world become more and more visual. Nice to

see UPCH keeping up.

  • I like the concept of students telling about their first experiences,

because these are exactly the considerations I have

  • They are great. It is comforting, that it’s not commercials stuffed

with music and storyboard but on the other hand credible student stories.

  • More focus on educational content – a film for each

undergraduate program

  • Quality is varying – some of the students’ films are excellent
  • thers could be better.
