During my usual LinkedIn morning scroll, I spotted that Filmsupply had recently posted their commercial trends report for 2025. It made for interesting reading and made me realise we’re already doing most of it at Black Lab Films. Docu-style filming ✅ - We frame our shots using the emotional truth to illuminate the causes that move and motivate audiences, to strengthen the effect of the stories we tell. Unique points of view ✅ - We love a cool shot! Something that stands out and keeps the audience engaged and wanting more. Abstract Textures ✅ - You can look out for the perfect example of this in our recent short ‘Love Me Hold Me Always’. Authentic diversity ✅ - We have always championed diversity within all our films, we want everyone to feel connected to the stories we tell. Surrealism ✅ - Our imagery speaks for itself, we make more than brand films and ads, we make magic! Tech-Free lifestyles ✅ - Our 'Visit Wales' films capture this perfectly, featuring people connecting and living their lives amongst the pure natural beauty Wales has to offer... All tech free! But don’t just take my word for it… check out our work here https://lnkd.in/eWfMJD7e p.s you might have noticed I left out Interpretative Dance - but if pushed I guess I could give it a go…!
