A corporate or mini-documentary is a short video usually between 2 to 30 minutes.
The purpose is to document the journey of the people and events behind an organisation.
Even though they are short, making mini-documentaries is an art form requiring planning, experience, and cinematic skills to be effective. As a resource for businesses and organisations, they are immensely valuable for passing an important message of your core values to your clients and community. A common way in which mini-docs are used in businesses is when communicating a mission or short story about the business journey and it’s people.
Corporate documentaries are also referred to as a short film, short-form film, mini-documentaries, or simply mini-docs.
At 1 Minute Media, we are a team of highly experienced professionals and have been creating mini-documentaries for government, NFP’s and NGO’s as well as private organisations for over a decade.
Our mini-docs highlight an organization’s core value or mission statement using real-life examples.

There are several different styles of mini-documentary you can produce – these include:
Observational, Participatory, Expository, Reflexive, Performative and Poetic.
The key to making a great mini-documentary is to shoot with a strong narrative and plan ahead.
While the unexpected does make for a good story line, planning ahead is what will get you there.
It’s also always best to shoot more than you need so that this footage can be incorporated, particularly as “b-roll” in the final edit. And finally, don’t forget that it is imperative to have good sound and interesting people as your subject.
