Arts Award Workshop

Posted: 6 months ago

It’s been weeks of workshops for Chew TV, what with the Find Your Talent Tour going on and everything, but we’ve also managed to culture young talent not part of the government scheme and last Wednesday (24th Feb) saw Max, Dan and Martin delivering a digital media workshop for some Arts Award happenings at the very fancy TR2 building in Plymouth.

 

TR2 is part of the Plymouth Theatre Royal and although it’s only around the corner, the boys were blown away by how incredible the building is right on the Yacht Haven by the water. A perfect place to get creative with cameras…

 

The workshop was part of an Arts Award and Real Ideas Organisation collaborative conference, run by Real Events and Max, Dan and Martin taught the practice of creating digital media with the tools young people already have at their disposal and are always getting told of for using… the dreaded mobile phone!

 

Many young people carry a powerful media tool with them wherever they go and this workshop unlocked the potential of this tool using hands on activities to create a short film and screening event. The young people thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and without them noticing, were encouraged through the learning process, thus providing a future-proof method of delivering media based learning. There were also some very cool films made, from scratch, in less than two hours. 


Check out ‘The Chase’, made by two young workshop participants who had never made a film before and put the whole thing together, from scratch (idea generation/ storyboard/ filming and editing), in less than one hour! Not bad hey! Well done guys!
