We organised a workshop with a group of 9 young people, ranging in ages from 16 to 24.  We facilitated discussions and then got the group interviewing each other about how they felt about getting older. They also went out onto the streets asking passers-by their views on age and what it means to be old.  The terrifying fact was that when asked “What is Old?” the group decided this was around 30!  Certainly put us in our place.

We then interviewed the young people ourselves and were able to play back some of the recordings at the end of the day.

We then spent several days pulling the audio content together, and decided on creating a series of audio montages focusing on specific areas: What it feel likes getting older, how to bridge the generation gap, what older people can offer me, etc…

This audio montages were then put together onto a CD to accompany the report at the end of the project. We also collected head-shots of the young people involved and used them to transform some of the audio they captured into this audio slideshow.

The slideshow is to be included as part of the final report, details of which can be found on the Beth Johnson Foundation website.

How do you train an international team of officers, all of whom have different approaches to filming stories? This was the challenge set for us by animal welfare charity The Brooke.

Approach

We delivered two bespoke Video for the Web workshops for staff from Egypt, Ethiopia, Jordan, the UK and Pakistan. Tailoring the workshops specifically to the charity’s needs, we put together a creative day that allowed the groups to explore how different media could be used to tell their stories.

During the day participants gained hands-on filming experience using small cameras, explored interviewing and filming techniques and learng how to edit film with Adobe Premiere Elements.

Outcome

Working with the international team was fascinating. Everyone had their own ideas about how to structure their films in order to tell the stories from their country in the most entertaining and informative way. We helped participants to come up with content ideas to help illustrate the ways their work is making an impact. We also led a discussion about different formats and approaches that they could adopt to create a house style.

What The Brooke says

“This was one of the best courses I have been on in terms of trainers, relevance to the organisation brief and programme outline. A great refresher/intro to filming and especially editing content.” Ailsa Herd, Head of PR, The Brooke

These are just some of the exciting activities and exhibitions taking place within museums in the East Midlands as part of MuBu. Museum Buddies (as it’s officially known) is about creating, and I quote: “projects generating new audiences through social-networking online. They can also be about learning and community projects that involve a digital element that we want to celebrate online, such as filmmaking, audio, digital art or music. MuBu projects will enable our audiences to interact with collections and re-interpret them for the 21^st century.”

To support staff undertaking these projects sounddelivery was commissioned to run a series of training sessions to get people up to speed with digital media and ways of telling their stories. Mark went up to Leicester for the launch of MuBu and ran an Introduction to Social Media session at lightning speed. Then throughout May and June Mark and Eric delivered three training workshops in Newark covering digital storytelling (audio slideshows), audio podcasts, and video.

It was great to work with a group who we could see develop over the weeks and be able to build on their understanding and creativity week on week. From the opening session where there was a certain amount of trepidation to the final week where everyone was bounding off on their own with no fears of using the equipment, it was satisfying watching the trainees grow in confidence and capability. What also worked very well was that the group were all given access to a Wiki which helped them stay in contact and up to date with changes to the workshops and attendees.

As part of our video training workshop (which was the second session of the three) the group got to grips with video cameras and all made their own short film – doing all the editing themselves! This short piece with Colin Hyde who runs the East Midlands Oral History Archive explaining how his MuBu project will work.

What’s also great about the MuBu project is that we have been commissioned by 2 museums to deliver training and outreach workshops to help them create new content and capture memories and stories of local people. You can find out more about this work with the Mansfield Museum and the National Tramway Museum here.
