Taster day in animation and film skills for young people in the west end of Newcastle.
Twelve young people aged 10-16 took part.
To provide a taster day in film and animation skills to young people from across the west end of Newcastle from a range of backgrounds.
The group were introduced to animation and filming and were able to choose which media to work in that day. They worked in two groups to come up with stories they would develop, storyboard, shoot and edit in only one day!!
One animation and one video. Total duration: approx 4 minutes.
We screened the videos at the end of the day for the other people at the youth centre and each person received a DVD to show family and friends.
The groups developed interpersonal and communication skills as well as team working; they developed media and IT skills and used their creativity. Screening the films at the end of the workshop gives a great sense of achievement, so increasing self esteem.

Camera Action workshops are a great way to develop a whole range of skills and a sense of achievement.
