Crafting Conversations: How Creativa Tackles Difficult and Sensitive Topics Through Video Production

difficult conversations

Have you ever been told not to discuss religion, politics, or money at dinner? It’s purposeful. Certain topics are considered too sensitive or taboo for casual conversation. However, at Creativa, we lean into these difficult topics, using our video production skills to shed light on these otherwise taboo conversations. Over the past ten years we’ve worked with government, non-profit, and health organisations . We’ve addressed difficult topics like loss, abuse, inequity, and trauma. often seen as too difficult to broach. By producing training films, documentaries, and case studies, we’ve broken down these complex issues, approaching them with sensitivity and a nuanced understanding. Our Toolkit When it comes to sensitive topics, we’ve learned at Creativa that there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. Each story is unique and necessitates a customised approach.

We would love to highlight some examples of the interesting projects Creativa has embark on.

Advance Care Planning: the client appointed us to create a series of videos for their Care Planning week. We decided to film in a studio location so the environment was controlled and we could be sensitive with our talent and the hard-hitting questions we surprised them with.

Our audience needed to see real emotional responses to death and permanent disability questions.

Perineal Tears: We produced a series of videos for ACSQHC about Perineal Tears. The target audiences were Consumers and Physicians.  The video below is features 2 doctors. We also highlighted real people case studies and kept their identity a secret by turning them into an animation.

Cancer Council Legacy Video: Talking about skin cancer

Lifeline Australia: The video communicates Lifeline’s role as a trusted lifeline for individuals experiencing emotional distress or contemplating suicide. Through compelling storytelling, real-life testimonials, and engaging visuals, the video showcases Lifeline’s 24/7 helpline, chat services, and online resources that offer confidential support and guidance.
