Playground Media Update - animations and films!
Our Playground Media project have been busy making animations, films, learning new skills and generally getting to be more media-savvy. The following activities were all child-led, the young people involved feature in the films as well as helping to film, edit and compile the videos.They have produced the films about some of their hobbies, interests and activities they are involved in around their area.
This is one of our young people editing some of the footage to make a video:
The first video is of some young people at the Adventure Playground at Windmill Hill City Farm, they are playing basketball and trying out new skills. They chose the music, filmed, directed and edited it:
This next video is a video o the young people skating at Campus skate park in Bristol. The children filmed it and skated in it. Again, the whole video was child led, edited and featuring them and the music was chosen by them too:
The last video is a stop motion animation featuring two figures. It was edited in time to a track chosen by the young people involved and the activity was completely led by those taking part:
Project Leader, Diego Alcala, said "this has been a great opportunity for our young people to engage their creative and team working skills. They are learning through their creative experimentation, it allows them to develop a hunger for making things and to gain new skills and interests along the way.
"We are really excited about the opportunity that this project has given the young people involved, it has meant they can explore the things they enjoy and create a final film from it, which has been really rewarding for them".
