Our First Presentation - 9/11/12

We held our first presentation at Pimlico Academy during I Space at 10.30am to an audience of 2 students. We were all very nervous, as this was our very first presentation of our campaign but we were really happy that we had a group to share our film with.

During the presentation everyone was really quiet and listened to what we had to say. We were really happy that we were able to engage our audience.

After our presentation there were lots of questions that we had to answer, which was really great because it meant that everyone was really interested in our campaign.

Each one of our team worked with a small discussion group of students to discuss how our film was made and gang violence issues. It was really interesting to hear what other students at our school thought.

One girl said, "I think it would be better to tell someone if I was in that situation instead of keeping it to myself."

Our Ambition Films group decided that for our next presentation we need more slides on our PowerPoint presentation.

Our next presentation will be to the whole school at Pimlico Academy on 28 November 2012. We are all really excited and nervous as this will be the biggest crowd that we have presented our campaign to so far. We hope that this will share our message wider and get others to share our campaign with their friends.

Session 8 - Confirming Roles, Script Content And Practicing Lines - 20/6/23

We started off the session looking at the storyboard to remind ourselves of the shots that we want to use in our short film.

We discussed whether everyone was happy with the script and everyone agreed that they liked it but they wanted to change the ending.

We finalised roles and re-arranged a date for filming as most people couldn't do the original date proposed. We have now all agreed that we will be filming for the whole day on Saturday 14 July 2012.

The roles are as follows:

Cast:
Tyler: Nicholas (Malachi stand in)
Paul: Michael
Mum: Actress
Dad: Actor
Gang leader: Paul
Gang member 1: Malachi
Gang member 2: Michael A A
Extras/other gang members/passer by: Nadia, Djed, Tom, Lanta, Karl

Crew:
Director: Tristan
Assistant director: Karl
Art director: Tom
Camera Assistant: Nadia, Nicholas, Michael A A
Edit assistant: Malachi

We had a run through of all of the scenes and practice lines. We made a few minor amendments to the script as we wanted the ending to be slightly different. We filmed the scenes whilst everyone was practising.

We finished up the session by going through our expenditure rationale forms for filming and promoting our campaign and filled in feedback forms.
