Films for Schools & Groups
Arts Workshops
We can also make films with or for your school or group.
Your students can be involved in the production process, learning about making films, or we can come in and make the film for you. How involved your students are is completely your choice!
Films we can make with you could include:
For Schools, After school clubs, Youth groups, Religious Organisations, Scouts and Guides......
Spangled Aura are able to deliver arts and filmmaking wokshops for schools and youth organisations. Workshop leaders have experience in working with children from age 5 through to 18, and all workshop leaders hold Positive Blue Cards issues in Queensland.
Workshops can be tailored to suit your organisation, and can be anything from a half hour taster session through to a day-long workshop or a series of workshops. We can focus on a particular topic which your students are studying, and workshops can lead up to a performance (from small performances to the rest of the group, through to fully-staged public performances).
All workshops can be filmed and copies given to the school or group. (two DVD copies included in workshop price, more copies can be purchased)
Visual Prospectus to show at open evenings or on your website
Issue based films - if your school or group is doing something amazing, other people need to know about it, and a short film is a great way to show others what you're doing, whether it's an environmental project, a great recycling scheme, charity or community work, a great arts project, or anything else you're proud of!
Or anything else you'd like a film about! Please contact us to discuss a possible project with you school or group.
Workshop Options
Project Based:
Exploring a topic of your choice through drama, music, dance, filmmaking, or a combination of these. Topics could include the environment, bullying, healthy eating, drink driving, or any topic on the school curriculum, such as a particular period in history or a book studied in literature. Can lead to a performance or film production, and tailored to the age of the participants.
Stage Management & Technical Theatre / Filmmaking:
Workshops in the technical aspects of film and theatre. Best suited to secondary school students or older, but simplifid workshops can be given to the older primary school children. In a filmmaking workshop, students will learn (dependent on age), camerawork, basic film lighting, audio recording, basic editing, and an outline of the main jobs available on a film or TV production. Workshops are also available in stage management (prop work, cuing a show, and what happens backstage!) as well as lighting and audio. sessions can be based around any equipment you have on your premesis, or we can bring equipment in.
Medieval Music:
Music making workshops with a historical emphasis. Students will hear live medieval music, see video recordings of costumed performances in historical buildings in the uk, learn about the music and the instruments, and have the opportunity to play or sing some medieval music. at primary school level or for youth groups, this can be combined with a general medieval history workshop.
In the close future these workshops will also include oerformances by a live medieval band (rather than an individual musician) and aythentic instruments (currently included in the DVD and photographic material)
If you are interested in having a workshop or series of workshops in your school or group, please contact us to discuss pricing and options.
Please let us know how many students and what age they are, how long you'd like the workshop to run (from half hour taster session to full day or multi-session), any particular topic you wish to cover, and any other ideas you have for your workshop.
