Videographer At Medair

INTRODUCTION

Medair is an international humanitarian organisation that has been working in Jordan since 2012. Medair provides cash, protection, cash-for-health, and mental health support to refugees and vulnerable Jordanian families.

This Professional Videographer visit has been budgeted under the 2021 visibility activities for cash-for-health interventions funded by German Foreign Federal Office (AA), the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (BPRM) in Jordan.

The Professional Videographer visit will play an important role in fulfilling the visibility requirements agreed to by the Medair Jordan programme and their international donors. This will be an opportunity to promote AA, ECHO, SDC, and BPRM work with refugees and vulnerable Jordanians in Jordan (encompassing cash-for-health and community health volunteers), as well as promote Medair’s work and the funding of the donor governments to international and national audiences.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

With support from AA, ECHO, and BPRM, Medair provides essential health services to refugees and vulnerable Jordanian people living in Jordan. These services cover the costs associated with urgent medical procedures (such as treatment for complicated births, treatment for non-communicable diseases, or mental health services), many of which are unattainably expensive for vulnerable families in Jordan.

With support from SDC, Medair provides unconditional cash and case management (CCM) services to refugee families and vulnerable Jordanians in Amman. This support allows vulnerable families to access essential services, and create realistic and long-term goals for their own wellbeing

SPECIFIC COMMUNICATIONS OBJECTIVES

Gather compelling video footage from Medair’s CCM and health interventions in Jordan that highlights families supported by the cash-for-health intervention, the work of Medair teams, and the support from international donors for this work.

COMMUNICATIONS OUTPUTS

• Gather compelling raw video footage from Medair’s cash-for-health interventions in Jordan for use by Medair. Footage must include:
• Interviews and b-rolls with at least two (2) families supported by the intervention
• Video images of Medair staff interacting with people supported by the intervention
• Gather compelling raw video footage from Medair’s CCM work in Jordan for use by Medair.
• Interviews and b-rolls with one (1) family supported by the intervention
• Video images of Medair staff interacting with people supported by the intervention
• Create one 30-60 second video for use on Medair and donor social media channels and website. This video can either be an overview of the cash-for-health intervention, CCM intervention, or a feature on one of the families supported by this intervention.

DETAILS

Output 1: Gather compelling raw video footage from Medair’s cash-for-health interventions in Jordan

The primary objective of this professional videographer visit will be to gather high-quality raw video footage of Medair’s cash-for-health and CCM work in Jordan. This footage should include two (3) interviews and b-roll with families supported through the intervention (Medair will select and brief the families to be interviewed), as well as images of Medair staff interacting with the supported families.

This footage will be used by Medair in perpetuity for use on the website, social media feeds, and promotional material. Where possible, Medair will credit the Videographer for their work using the following format: © Medair / Videographer Name.

Output 2: Create one video, no longer than 60 seconds in length, about Medair’s cash-for-health interventions in Jordan

This video will be used by Medair on social media feeds, on the website, and potentially by donors to the cash-for-health intervention. The video can be either a case study of one family supported through the intervention, or an overview of the cash-for-health intervention.

Deadline for both outputs: Within 21 days after the end of the visit.

Please note: Videos and video footage must reflect the values of Medair. Videos must portray the dignity, autonomy, and hope of the individuals being interviewed and filmed. Medair will not tolerate exploitation of families for videography purposes. The Videographer must follow Medair’s security protocols and should listen to the advice from Medair’s national and international staff about when it is and is not appropriate to film for the purposes of dignity, safety, respect, and cultural understanding.
