Use this as a referenceThe Brief: Making Hepatitis B Awareness Accessible
The Department of Health commissioned an educational film to raise awareness of hepatitis B, with liver specialist Professor Lai Ching-lung explaining transmission and potential health risks in clear language.
The Approach: An Expert Interview with Visual Explanation
The film was designed to make a serious medical subject easier for a general audience to follow:
A Focused Expert Interview: Professor Lai’s interview provides the structure. Carefully placed lighting and steady framing keep attention on his explanation of the campaign’s testing message.
Visualising Information: The film’s discussion of hepatitis B and liver-cancer risk is supported by clear motion graphics that turn statistical information into visual explanations and help the audience follow the subject.
A Clear Campaign Message: The sequence moves from an introduction to risk to the film’s discussion of antiviral treatment, then closes with the campaign’s message about hepatitis B testing. This structure gives the information a clear direction and conclusion.
The Finished Film: A Public Health Education Resource
The film provides the Department of Health with material for hepatitis B awareness communication in healthcare settings and online. An expert interview and concise visual explanations make the subject accessible within a short format.

Q&A
How does the expert interview support the campaign’s testing message?+
The film features liver specialist Professor Lai Ching-lung. Darkroom Studio uses steady camerawork and controlled lighting to give his explanation a focused setting. The interview allows the campaign’s medical information to be presented in the specialist’s own words.
How did Darkroom Studio turn statistical information into visual content?+
The relationship between hepatitis B and liver cancer involves statistical information that can be difficult to follow in speech alone. We used clear motion graphics to present percentages as visual charts, supporting the spoken explanation and helping viewers understand the information being discussed.
Why give a public health film a clear closing message?+
A structured sequence helps viewers follow the purpose of an educational campaign. This film moves from risk awareness to discussion of antiviral treatment before ending with the message Test for Hepatitis B, Save Your Life. The closing line brings the campaign’s focus on testing and earlier identification back into view.
