Ventnor West Ward Election 2007: Candidate videos
9 videos • 10 views • by On The Wight In 2007, there a seat became available on the town council - the Ventnor West Ward. We thought it'd be a fun idea to cover it as a national broadcaster might cover a national election. – We arranged separate filming sessions with each candidate. – We setup a special area of the forum called Candidates Corner. We used this to source questions to ask the candidates. We were surprised that some of the discussions had 10k+ views – pretty amazing for a town of five thousand people. – Candidates were given the opportunity to layout what they could do for the Ward and published them as separate, unfiltered articles. – Questions, sourced from the board on our Forum were then we taken to each of the Candidates for them to answer on video (Shot by local man Nige – Thanks Nige!). Nige then worked hard and edited them into separate video for each of the questions. Each of the video answers were then published in the build up to the elections. – We even covered the results live!
