CREATIVE SKILLS AT WORK

"In July 2007, four of us were approached by muscial artist Gavin Heaney, and asked to film and edit a music video for his song "The Complexity". Just before the summer break, we met with Gavin to discuss some ideas and brainstorm some locations to film. Gavn had a lot of his own ideas that he wanted to include so we worked with what he wanted and created a "storyline" for the video. Over the summer break we filmed and edited the video, with Emma as Director, Gina as Producer, Sarah as the camera operator and Jo as the Production Manager/Editor. The result was pleasing for all of us and the shoot itself was an enjoyable experience.

Producer Gina Smith said, "I think communication kept the project afloat at all times, the organisation by Jo was spot on as was the direction by Emma. Sarah did a grand job of getting the shots needed and conseqeuntly the end product is something to be proud of...it looks really good."

Production Manager/Editor Jo Alton said, "I think we all worked really well together and the hard work paid off. Although I wasn't available for all the shoots, I learned a lot about both pre-production and post, it really helped me put what I learned about orgainsation and editing at college in to practice. I loved every part of it."
