A really important part of the project has been training the Burley Champions so that they can take a lead role in recording the oral history interviews. Workshop leader, Meena Jeewa, has worked with the children to introduce them to the idea of oral history. The children have role played the interviews and then devised their own list of key interview questions. Filmmaker Simon Collins has then trained the children in how to set up the interviews, how to position the interviewees and light the shots, and how to use digital camera, microphones and sound recording equipment. Despite their young age, the children have taken to it like professionals, asking questions with confidence and ensuring that they get good film footage. We can't wait to see the end result!!
