Well yesterday we finished up the workshop in Broken Hill and it was a huge success. This time we had 12 drama students from Willyama High School and thery were all just so fantastic. The students very quickly demonstrated that they possessed excellent and highly developed skills in drama and storytelling and so we knew that when introduced the camera we would have no trouble achieving a really memorable and satisfying outcome.
Once again the theme of the workshop was IDENTITY AND PLACE. a PERSONS SENSE OF SELF WITH THE ENVIRONMENT THEY INHABIT. It sounds pretty heavy but really it's just about exploring a place that you feel safe supported happy private or just a place where you have fun. Once you work out where that is then we go there and we try to reflect that feeling in a short film.
Everyone had a go. We all worked with the c amera and we created small crews that made the filming process feel as close to the real thing as possible. It was great fun and the kids just revelled in the newfound responsibilty and creative freedom.
The films were all very different and unique. Very original thinkeres out here in Brioken Hill and they all took risks and tried new things which was very satisfying to witness.
Fred.
