Blackpool Away Day Reel

forzajuve_27

Hi guys,

I don't often post as much as used to - been away from the UK and therefore the Addicks for the last 6 and half years between Italy and Spain but have been back and in Manchester (unfortunately) for the last year.

Anyway, I work as a social media manager/presenter and have managed to put together a few reels this season on Charlton (hard to keep finding different angles to cover us 😅) and we just published one today on Blackpool-Charlton which I think is our best matchday experience content so far and would love to get your thoughts on it, thanks!

crime rate 154% .. % of what ?

Enjoyable if a tad melodramatic. I mean, it's not downtown LA.
My main criticism is, do you ever pause for breath? It was like you were reading from a block of writing without commas or full stops.
(Disclaimer: Could be because I'm getting old)

I liked the lengthy; short and snappy but agree the 154% reference was baffling and made me stop and wonder what i was in for. That said i thought it was well balanced with a quick glimpse of the town and a pub, all vital, and some atmosphere from the ground from a perspective others won't have caught.

"...several Charlton fans who had made the trip up" was a bit harsh!

Personally, would love to hear a "t" pronounced just a few times, but I know the world has moved on...

Friend Or Defoe

Surely others realised that 154% was a joke?!

Hi guys, thanks for the comments and feedback, appreciate it all.

With regards to the pacing it’s because of the style as short-form content like this should ideally be 1 minute, 1:30 max and my editor on these projects tells me to speak faster. Consequently I’ve had the “t’s” pronunciation criticism just recently by my boss at my other client, DAZN so I’ll put it down to a bad habit picked up from this project as my pronunciation is generally very good.

Also there is usually a bit of a melodramatic intro - a “hook” in this type of short-from content in order to reel in the viewer. 

Finally, the 154% crime rate was delivered a bit tongue in cheek but that’s actually the number (no idea how they arrive at it) that I’ve seen reported on the crime statistics.

I enjoyed the reel and also had a great time in Blackpool. Presumably its 154 crimes per 1000 people which is usually how these stats get published

We had a cracking time up there. Considering there was a big crowd of us, we had no bother getting into bars/clubs, people were friendly and we had no trouble.

Found a great Northern Soul bar and an Indian restaurant that stayed open until 3am. What’s not to like?
