The duty this year added new resources to its digital laboratory by creating a veritable video journalistic production unit, made up of reporters, videographers, editors, console operators and a motion designer. This initiative and the hard work of this team have borne fruit since The duty won a gold medal in the Best Online Video – Short Format category at the Digital Publishing Excellence Awards on Friday.
Journalist Daphnée Hacker-B., Videographer Bénédicte Millaud and the motion designer Cédric Gagnon received the honors for Marion and feminist collages, a short video of our series Identity focusing on the feminist collages movement. We follow Marion and her acolytes on a night out, armed with posters and collars, the women showing their support for victims of violence, sexual assault or sexism.
To review
The duty was nominated five times for the Excellence in Digital Publishing this year, in the Short Video, Newsletter and Best Report in Science and Technology categories.
These awards confirm the digital shift that is continuing in our newsroom, with the arrival of new information professions and formats intended to inform beyond a more traditional format, such as the article.
For this last year of video production, our goal was to create our own identity in video and to offer distinct series. Series Identity thus staged characters with distinctive profiles and bearers of a message that stood out in their field of action.
With the establishment of a production team and an efficient video workflow integrating non-traditional trades in writing, we have managed to double our video performance statistics on our platforms and on social networks, by achieving more than satisfactory degrees of reach and engagement. We will continue on this path.
