Grand Final Videos
In the run up to the grand Final 2019 England Korfball and Legal & General plan to showcase korfball activity in the UK through a series of videos produced by you, our korfball community. Korfball provides many skills, opportunities, lessons and unique stories. We want to show everyone your stories through a series of korfball community produced videos. We want to hear about you.
We can’t do this without you, the korfball community! We need your help… so grab a video camera or your mobile phone, pick a topic and start recording. we can’t wait to see them! Our favourite videos will win 2 tickets to the Grand Finals 2019 weekend. Please see terms below.
We want to hear about you!
What should I use? The best video device you can find. Your phone is probably great. Try to use a tripod or something to keep the device stable.
How long should it be? 3 minutes maximum or as short as you want. If you need to do it in two parts, to be edited together, that’s fine.
What should I say? Choose a title from below and make a script up from the prompts. It depends on the subject of course, but we want to show people what korfball is. Be bright, engaging, enthusiastic and confident. Smile.
Where should I shoot it? In good light. Indoors, outdoors it doesn’t matter.
Am I teaching people korfball? No! You are showing people about your life around korfball. Use korfball props. Balls maybe. Baskets perhaps. You don’t have to be in a training session, showing people how to play. It’s about you.
