Here is everything that was created during the workshop
Mannequin challenge
First off we have the Mannequin Challenge! This is an ice-breaking 'getting-to-know-you' exercise which always brings out the quirkier side of the children we work with and there is no exception here! Whether it's 'cheesy matter' or 'why doesn't dust cry?, these participants have got it covered!
First Day Films
As the saying goes..."give the children a camera and they shall try to taketh a film.' Or something like that! Here we see the wee ones try and assemble what appears to be a rather haphazard approach to making a narrative. Well, everyone has to start somewhere! And this is where they did...literally!
The making of (TMO)
Any mistake, error and silliness is captured here! That's not a bad thing at all. The students all willingly entered into the spirit of making mistakes. They understood that this is what being 'creative' is all about. So, here it is, warts and all. All of the errors and things that went wrong. It's comic and tragic, all at the same time!!!
Fallout
Here is the reason that we came together and made this film. The students loved having the opportunity to express their feelings and loved the storyline that was written for them. A girl, with some patchy attendance, is propelled to the front of the class in order to raise awareness of a cause that is close to her heart. We hope you enjoy the storyline about kids who fight but ultimately want things to be 'right'.
These are just some of the skills that pupils will learn over the workshop
