FAQs
-
Of course! The above equation is the basis of our business model visualised. It demonstrates the key role you play in making our mission achievable. Our business model works on the basis that the fees we charge to our corporate clients are at a market rate for a video production company. However, our unique offering means that when a corporate client invests in our services, they are not only commissioning their own project, but are also partnering with us, enabling us to make future commissions more affordable for our voluntary and community sector clients. Essentially we pay some of your fee forward, without costing you more than market rate.
-
Not at all, we charge our corporate clients at market rate! We dedicate anything you’d class as profit from your commission towards helping voluntary and community sector organisations be able to afford our services.

We’re a CIC limited by guarantee. We set up ThroughFilm because we genuinely care about making a difference. We’ve set up so that our business costs are covered and we’re able to scale the company to make constant improvements and keep up with industry standards, and invest the rest towards our mission, because that’s what we care about. Any extra surplus we make gets pumped back into the needs of the community and voluntary sector, so when they approach us, we’re able to offer them an affordable solution.

Types of Films
We have years of experience delivering high quality films. Below are some of the different types of films we love working on, with a little intro on each.
We’re more than happy to chat with you to evolve some of your ideas further or start from scratch and advise on the best course of action depending on your objectives.
Explainer
Explainer videos can shine a light on a specific process or product, the ins and outs and the USP. They aim to create a clear understanding of what you’re selling.
They can also take on more of an instructional form of a “how to” video. These can show someone assembling a product or using a piece of software, and deliver all the useful information at a click of a button,
Promotional
A great way to embody who you are and showcase your business origin, story, culture, values and successes.
Promo films are memorable and succinct. They’re a useful tool to boost your social media presence, increase brand awareness, and create intrigue. So if you want to leave an impression, stand out on social media, and drive traffic to your website, a promo film is the way to go!
Recruitment
This is your chance to showcase what it’s like working for your company and not only sell your company to potential candidates, but also your customers. The more you share, the more relatable you become.
You can shine a light on your culture, perks and company ethos to draw in the best candidates for your business. These can be a direct call to action through a piece to camera, a day in the life of a staff member, or a combination of both.
People are interested in the everyday, genuine experiences and this is the perfect way to bring them along on the journey.
Case Study
We have more trust in a product or service when it’s been recommended to us by somebody who has trialed it themselves…
Focusing on human experience, case studies get to the heart of an individual persons or organisations experience who has benefitted from the services or products you offer. They establish your business as the solution to a problem your customers might be facing.
Consultancy
Based on the needs of your business, we can guide you on how to create content for your company yourself, whether you have your own in-house equipment, or use a phone for all your content creation needs.
We want to see you shine, so we’ll happily chat about everything, starting from pre-production to post, kit, advice on best approaches, and how to utilise video on your social media channels in the most effective way.
We’ve picked up many tips and tricks throughout the years. so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Long form
Do you have a long term project happening that you would like to document at each stage?
Or maybe there’s just so much to explore that it’s better to digest in a series of episodes rather than all at once?
Long form is a good way to dive deep into a specific topic. It doesn’t have to be related to business, it can be something you care about, something that impacts the culture in your workplace, or something that inspires you, and we can work to release a series of videos in stages, or work on a film suitable for a longer viewing, the choice is yours.
Commissioning any film means you’re collecting a bank of footage you can re-purpose in the future too.
