The University of Exeter
Since 2018, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with the University of Exeter, collaborating with hundreds of academics and students across a diverse range of disciplines. From filming mining students in Cornwall to unearthing Roman remains with archaeologists and investigating simulated crime scenes with forensic experts, we’ve captured some truly fascinating moments.
Universities are hubs of innovation and expertise, brimming with compelling stories waiting to be told. At Preston Street Films, we specialise in bringing these stories to life—whether it’s to boost recruitment, enhance academic outreach, or amplify research impact.
Case Study - Language Evening Classes
This video shows off the excellent language learning available as evening classes at the University. The style of the video is playful and engaging, bringing in testimony from a range of students and teachers.
Case Study - Open Day video
This is a dynamic, action packed video made to promote open days at the university. It shows a number of departments and captures the vitality and excitement of the day.
Creative Workshops
Having a creative professional in a room of academics can help facilitate a different way of thinking that is outside the academic box. We can arrange workshops in a range of creative disciplines including graphic design, collage, drama and more.
A recent example is a Poster Workshop for The Department of Archaeology and History at the University of Exeter. We ran a one day design workshop with academics into how they could approach creating research project posters in a different, more creative way. The results were fantastic; the posters they created have been exhibited in the university and the creative techniques they learned will inform their approach to academic future communication.
“it was great to see the conversations and creative process in action and we are very pleased with the result”
