Our Big Local Youth Film Club is a community filmmaking project designed for young people living and studying in and around our Big Local area. The project is in collaboration with Arfhan Razak and Aqsa Abbas. During the sessions young people learn the art of filmmaking and community work. In the last 7 years our young people have been involved with making documentaries, short films, music videos and community related content. The project is one of Heston West Big Local's key legacies and was previously led by experienced filmmaker Blaise Singh.

The sessions are an opportunity for young people to learn leadership, communication and creative skills in a safe, friendly, fun environment. Although the project is aimed at young people we also have had parents and film experts volunteer their time to support the project and help our young crew. Getting involved with our project, young people will have unique access to the film industry, an opportunity to network, visit film studios and festivals and also get involved with other exciting Big Local projects aimed to help our young people gain new skills and work experience.

"Young people get the opportunity to explore and learn new and exciting things while creating amazing videos for the world to see. It is not only a place of learning but also a place to have fun, create friendships and discover things we may have never seen before and let our imagination run wild.
Being here has helped me to grow my confidence and do things I could never imagine myself doing such as going out and interviewing people and being in front of the camera without being scared for my life.
Being here has also helped me to make great friends with people who I may have never approached before and I have developed skills that will later help me in life. Overall I think coming here was one of the best things I could've done."

If you are aged 8-17yrs, living or studying in the Heston West Big Local area and interested in making films, music videos and documentaries then get involved!
This is your opportunity to actively contribute to your community while gaining the skills that Duke of Edinburgh / employers and universities value. "The MADE in HESTON film club has helped me realise that there is more in life for those who take the opportunity to do things. What I enjoyed the most was the recent fall prevention project working with local GPs." "My favourite part of film-making is the camerawork itself, e.g. using Manual mode, altering settings to improve the look of my filming, and overall taking more control over the camera and getting out of the habit of always using Auto mode." I am new here, I didn't have a courage of facing people, coming in front of the camera and I never knew the term called editing, but thanks to the filming club, I have a courage of being in front of the camera and having a YouTube channel 'Shaz Creation'. |
