Lights, camera, action!

We're working on a project exploring the myths and facts around the story of the Pendle Witch Trials with Mid Pennine Arts, led by young people in the Ribble Valley and Pendle, representing the views from opposing sides of Pendle Hill.

Some of the young people were keen to conduct interviews with local people to find out what they knew about the myths and legends around the 'witches', and wanted to be involved in the filming process too - so we spent the afternoon working with them. Steve worked with the group to develop their interview skills and devise a list of questions...... then we all set up for filming. There were 10 young people, 2 main video cameras, a Flip camera, and 3 stills cameras! The group took it in turns to be on camera, find interviewees, do sound, the bounce board (to bounce the light), and conduct the interviews.

This wasn't the sharpest shot of the day - but I like how it really shows how busy we were, and how much involvement the young people had in the filming.
