Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai Brand Video Case Study

A cinematic 30-second brand film capturing beachfront tranquillity, Vietnamese craft and service culture at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An. Shot with a lifestyle narrative that blends golden-hour exteriors, staff-in-action, and destination cutaways from Hoi An’s heritage.

Quick facts

Client: Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai (Hoi An, Vietnam)

Usage: Website, organic social, in-property screens

Scope: 30s brand film (+ social media reels pack + stills)

Turnaround: ~10–14 days from shoot wrap (typical)

Objectives

  • Position the resort as a premium beachfront base near UNESCO-listed Hoi An.

  • Showcase Vietnamese aesthetics (architecture, crafts, cuisine) with modern luxury.

  • Deliver a fast, versatile master cut for website and social.

Style: Editorial, human-first, luxury hospitality

Studio: Hotels Filmed — hotel video production

Creative Approach

  • Narrative thread: “A day at The Nam Hai” — morning light → spa/wellness → dining → sunset beachfront.

  • Visual language: Slow, grounded camera movement; close-up textures (linen, wood, water), wide resort vistas, and destination inserts from Hoi An.

  • Human focus: Discreet service moments (cocktail, lifestyle moments, exquisite dining).

  • Sound & music: Calming contemporary score with subtle foley (sea, foliage, footsteps) to feel the space.

Pre-production

  • Discovery & treatment: brand values, mood refs, shot list, schedule; align on must-show spaces.

  • Logistics: permits, best-light plan (sun path), quiet windows for bar/restaurant scenes.

  • Talent & styling: staff-led interactions, resort-approved wardrobe and tableware.

Production

  • Camera & movement: full-frame cine setup on gimbal; locked-off frames for architecture.

  • Light strategy: natural light priority; golden hour sequences for water/foliage.

  • Aerials: establishing passes (subject to local permissions and weather).

  • Continuity: visual motifs (lanterns, water lines, palm shadows) to connect scenes.

Post-production

  • Edit: 30s master with story beats and tasteful pacing for web autoplay.

  • Grade: warm, natural skin tones; blacks lifted for a premium, editorial feel.

  • Sound design: layered ambience (breeze, waves, room tone) + licensed music.

  • Captions & delivery: captioned and non-captioned masters; web-friendly encodes.
