A taste of it
Most corporate films start with the company: founded in, headquartered at, employing so many people. Viewers stop caring in ten seconds. The films that get watched start with a person, a problem or a moment, and let the company appear as the answer. This guide gives you five formats. Each has a fixed skeleton so that you are never staring at a blank page, and each says where the personality goes.
