Brief
We were to act as the film
crew for each of the 3 groups who had devised, written and rehearsed their own
drama script. This meant that the group would not have to concern themselves
with the technical requirements of filming but that we could act as
co-directors with the group and positively steer the actors’ performances. The
production and all discussions about production and performance between group
members, as well as the actual dialogue of course, were to be carried out in
Spanish.

Our
film crew was comprised of a cameraman and soundman, as well as a
producer/director. We were able to influence the groups’ choices of locations
and filmed in student accommodation, academic areas and various locations
around the campus. None of our crew speaks any degree of conversational Spanish
and so we had to work with a nominated group member who acted as translator for
the student group and the film crew. We then worked with each group to edit
their film as comprehensively and accurately as possible. The final videos
were encoded as MP4 (for YouTube) and WMV (for PowerPoint) and delivered to the
student groups, who were to hand in their film to be reviewed and critiqued as
part of their mark-able work.
