"Sainsbury's Conference Videos 2006" video

Compilation of videos to be shown at a Sainsbury’s management conference.

Contents:
1. “Mission: Possible”. Spoof video in the style of ‘Mission: Impossible’ and including the Mission: Impossible theme tune. The video appears to be intended for the opening of the conference. It shows an employee arriving late at night at the Holborn Store Support Centre (Sainsbury’s head office in London). She has a metal case chained to her arm and jumps into a sports car. We see her arriving at the NEC (National Exhibition Centre) in Birmingham with the case (presumably the venue for the conference).
2. (03:00) “Mission Possible Opening (Title Safe)”. Appears to be identical to first video.
3. (06:00) “Gwyn (Cava – I Get a Kick)”. Music video with a Sainsbury’s senior manager/director Gwyn Burr singing about Sainsbury’s Cava, in a spoof of the song 'I Get A Kick Out of You'.
4. (10:00) “Roger (Citrus Fruit) Warehouse Video”. Video showing Sainsbury’s Hams Hall distribution centre (depot) with lots of crates of citrus fruit being delivered. In the final shot, we see it is completely full of oranges (the oranges appear to be a computer generated graphic).
5. (15:00) “Ken’s Liquere [Liqueur] Video (Amarillo)”. Spoof music video in the style of the Peter Kay Comic Relief music video to Tony Christie’s '(Is This the Way to) Amarillo'. It features a Sainsbury’s senior manager singing and several other Sainsbury’s managers marching around a Sainsbury’s store. The lyrics are changed to “This is the way to win the bid up...” and refer to Sainsbury’s Irish Liqueur “the winning line this year for sure”.
6. (20:00) “Values Video”. Video about Sainsbury’s values featuring a montage of images showing Sainsbury’s staff following the company’s values both in their personal lives and at work, and a message of “Our values make us the people we are”. Captions list the values. Includes footage from: the Sainsbury’s Holborn Store Support Centre (head office); Sainsbury’s Local Tubbs Hill exterior and interior; employee working in Blackheath store; helping a customer at Chesham store and store exterior; office and lorries at Hams Hall depot; helping customers at Maypole store, Birmingham.
7. (26:00) “Art of the Possible – Opening”. Video with captions of historic quotations in which people talk about things they thought were impossible (which were later achieved) and finishing with a quotation about the number of supermarket employees being expected to decline. Ends with the caption “Mission: Impossible?”. Background music: Play Dead by Björk (instrumental part only).
8. (30:00) “Art of the Possible – Closing”. Video following up from “Art of the Possible – Opening”, featuring the same captions but with video clips (eg from news footage) showing the ‘impossible’ had been achieved. Background music: 'Unfinished Sympathy' by Massive Attack.
