Estate Visions: Fawcett Court finalise their TV shows!
13th October, 2010
As part of the Estate Visions Project young people at Fawcett and Fellows Court in Hackney are beginning to develop documentary ideas that reflect local concerns and most importantly the issues that affect them.
These ideas will form the basis of short films the teenagers will shoot and edit. They will also have to establish relationships with local community groups and tap into wider networks to find contributors for their documentaries and also people who they can interview live on TV!
Yesterday’s workshop at Fawcett Court was really positive. The young people separated into four teams to devise ideas which they also pitched to everybody. The group then voted for their two favourite ideas which will now be made into short documentary items for the live TV show.
The most popular idea was ‘Bad Weave’ a light-hearted take on the importance of being well-presented! Two other ideas - a film about the need for positive activities for young people and one about postcode violence – were also very well-received, each getting the same amount of votes. After a tense tie-breaker vote, the group chose the film about positive activities for young people giving them two very strong ideas to develop.
Ben and Eray, our Chocolate Films trainers, introduced the group to the practicalities of producing a live TV programme and the session ended on a high note with everyone filming and then watching a short, streamed programme.
