Editor's Notes
- Target audience: 17-21 year olds Given the target audience’s media consumption, it was clear that digital should be placed at the heart of the campaign.
- Mission statement for the project
- Research outlined self-discovery as a primary hook for 17-21 year olds
- and it seemed a natural progression to construct an experience placing the user in control of their self discovery
- The trouble was, this is what we were competing for their attention with. We created a series of challenges as part of a truly immersive experience, using a mixture of seamless video to Flash and Unity3D content as we were aware we were competing for attention with console games. However we never lost sight of the fact that this was an Army recruitment and awareness campaign, very much not a game , and the idea was to educate and inform not simply to entertain You can never ‘die’ or need never restart, and you are always propelled through the content with your fellow soldiers.
- Before asking…
- A series of four TV ads
- Filmed from the first person perspective
- Showed different scenarios
- Before asking…
- With a call to action to go online
- Before continuing their mission via a series of interactive challenges, all played out from ‘your’ perspective.
- Putting the user in different roles within the Army Building their confidence And encouraging them to ‘start thinking soldier’.
- You can never ‘die’ or need never restart, and you are always propelled through the content with your fellow soldiers.
- These range from driving a Battlefield Ambulance after an earthquake, to fire and manoeuvre through narrow streets , to planning mortar fire or parachuting to a designated drop zone .
- Key attributes the Army is looking for in potential recruits, and the range of career opportunities available
- With pressing timelines and the need to confirm filming locations in Kenya – as well as a list of what ‘assets’ were requested in the form of Army hardware and kit, we acted quickly and put a team of eight people together with Modem to begin fleshing out content formats and a shot list for Spank. We considered 360 degree cameras, mobile, web cam etc
- Once the interactive Missions and content were approved we scripted the shots for inclusion in the schedule.
- Asset gathering
- HDR shots
