This project showcases a promotional video I created to highlight Hogan’s Cider Mill in Burlington, CT. My goal was to persuade viewers to visit the cider mill in the fall by capturing its charming atmosphere, scenic location, and variety of offerings.

Target Audience: Local community members, tourists, and cider enthusiasts looking for an authentic New England fall experience.

Project Goal: Produce a warm, engaging marketing video that positions Hogan’s Cider Mill as both a historic landmark and a seasonal destination for families and friends.

Objectives: After viewing this video, audiences will:

• Recognize Hogan’s Cider Mill as a welcoming, family-friendly destination.

• Discover its diverse offerings, including fresh-pressed cider, hard ciders, cider cocktails, and the on-site shop.

• Feel inspired to visit and experience the history, flavors, and atmosphere.

My Role: I was solely responsible for every aspect of production, including planning, filming, editing, and graphic design. Using only an iPhone, I maximized creative camera techniques such as panning, dollying, and varied shot types (establishing shots, close-ups, and extreme close-ups) to create depth and movement. Careful location scouting and lighting adjustments helped overcome equipment limitations, resulting in an immersive final video that authentically captures the cider mill’s atmosphere.
