Headline: What It’s Actually Like Being Part of the Creative Council

Content:

Create a short video sharing your experience of being part of the ARU London Creative Council from your perspective.

Tell other students why you joined, what you’ve enjoyed about creating content and what you’ve gained from taking part.

We want this to feel like one student recommending the experience to another, not an advert.

Key Messaging – Ideas to Include:

• Why you originally joined the Creative Council

• What creating content has been like

• A piece of content you enjoyed making

• Skills or confidence you’ve developed

• Getting creative and sharing your student experience

• Why you’d recommend getting involved to another student
  

Suggested Hooks – Lead with a Thought or Question:

• “I joined the Creative Council and here’s what I didn’t expect…”

• “POV: you get to create content about your actual student experience.”

• “Why did I join the Creative Council?”

• “If you like creating content, you might want to know about this…”

• “Here’s what being part of the Creative Council has been like for me.”
  

🎥 What to Show + Filming Tips:

• Show the process, not just yourself talking.

• Include clips of you filming, setting up your phone, walking around campus looking for shots, previous footage you’ve created or behind-the-scenes moments.

• A strong structure could be:

• Why I joined → What I’ve done → What I’ve gained → Why you should consider it
  

🎤 Talking Point Ideas:

• What made you sign up?

• Were you confident creating videos when you started?

• What has been your favourite brief?

• Have you developed any new skills?

• What would you say to someone considering joining?

Speak naturally and use your own experience. You don’t need to make it sound perfect.

Goal:

Show the Creative Council through the students who actually take part and encourage more ARU London students to consider getting involved.
