Consultancy: Roots Lab Videographer

Terms of Reference Consultant - Roots Lab Videographer     Introduction Roots Lab is a collaborative pilot project of Oxfam, FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund, Global Fund for Women and Young Foundation that seeks to test how best to incubate social change driven by young women activists.   Oxfam in Lebanon is looking to hire a Consultant (individual/ team) to produce a launch video for Roots Lab.   Project Background FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund, Global Fund for Women, Oxfam and the Young Foundation have joined together to adapt a potentially game-changing approach- a social innovation laboratory - to advance young women's rights, leadership and collective action. The project responds to the fact that deep-rooted gender inequality prevents millions of young women from making choices about and taking control of their own lives. Yet not enough resources go to young women directly to help them address, innovate around and combat these challenges. We believe young women activists are best placed to imagine and develop high-impact solutions in their communities, but they often lack the opportunity and capacity to do so. Young women often lack the connections across sectors, financial resources, professional skills, networks and profile necessary to develop their ideas, scale their projects, and access mentoring and coaching support An inspiring 2-mins video will be produced to launch the Roots Lab challenge and outreach activities.   Tasks The videographer is expected to undertake the following tasks: -          Develop the video’s overall concept and storyboard, based on guidelines and challenge script provided by the project team - may include interviewing young women and/or other relevant stakeholders for sound bites. -          Record rushes as needed for the video -          Edit and produce a short video based on interviews conducted and other collected material.
