With a total of 5871 tickets being sold, this production of the show Oliver! was a big success, and the kickstart of a Summer Project to run for many more years.
"Film work has included videoing and recording vox-pops at auditions and throughout the rehearsal process, setting up and recording formal interviews with members of the cast and creative team, and finally filming the live performances themselves. We have been blown away by some of the technique developed, the professional way that the young people worked and the quality of the footage they gathered." - City Eye, SO14 7DU
When working on this project, as a part of the film and media team, I was lucky enough to record auditions, film the process of the show, gather footage of all 4 live performances, post on the @MayflowerEngage social media and create hashtags. With industry equipment and plenty of advice and training from City Eye and their crew, I received a great insight into the film and media industry.
When I applied to the film and media team, I was unsure of what I expected, however it was definitely the right decision. Introducing me into the industry, I discovered I thoroughly enjoyed creating advertisement videos and behind-the-scenes clips for those taking part and also as selling points to the public (this was also the first time I had ever edited on Adobe Premiere Pro).
Working with City Eye and the Mayflower Theatre Engage team was a brilliant opportunity and a great experience to have had, and I even managed to complete my Bronze Arts Award in this time!
