This week's session was focusing on the fictional scenes, developing ideas for a script for the filming which will take place in half term.This is led by our great drama facilitator Lydia, who got everyone up on their feet improvising, and also led discussions about what happens in each scene. By the end of the session we all had a much clearer idea about the plot, which is basically about what happens after a crime takes place - how the police treat the young people in the local area, and how the young people respond.
One key thing we are all clear about is that we don't see the perpetrators in the film; we are thinking of ways to show a mugging without portraying any of our group members in a stereotypically negative way. The young people also want to explain on the film why they made this decision.
It's hard to make a film (especially a short one) without stereotypes, especially when we want to show reality - but we are giving it a try!
