NCS Film

I took part in The National Citizenship Service, and the product that we made as part of the Volunteering was a short film to help out our local community. Our film was called "Don't Judge Us" as was aiming to help to banish stereotypes of youths within the community, and in particular, work with the charity Age concern to help build relations between The Elderly and Young. The part I played in the production was the Director. I had to oversee and direct all creative processes  including the filming of the planning, shots and editing. 





Due to logistical and timing issues, the film did not turn out entirely as I planned, as it did not completely convey the message that i wanted to get across to the audience, although I still believe that the film is quite good considering the resources and time we had to film and edit the film.

If I could re-do this video, I would:

• Show the "Burglary" scene at the beginning, as it would establish the scene, and show the audience clearly the perception we wanted to show.
• I would use more variety of shots, at a quicker pace, to expand time, and give the film a quicker, edgier pace. 
• Our original intention was to show the point of view shots and close ups/ mid shots of the witnesses, at the same time as playing their interviews as voice overs, but due to not being able to get any volunteers
