Team comments on the filming

Chris

This past week has been the most hectic by far. All the work that we did in the previous weeks seems insignificant. In the past few weeks, people have been having their doubts about whether we would be able to finish in time because out ideas weren’t quite together and our scenes had not been scripted or rehearsed but it was amazing, the amount of work we got done and how much we achieved in just one week. I am pleased with what we’ve done and I would like to say a big thank you to the BBC team for bringing our ideas together and making them happen and to all team members for being such a joy to work with and to our project manager Helen, for giving us this opportunity and so many others we’ve been able to work with. This has really made a difference in my life.

So this week has been mad, I mean I have never had a week like it but I must admit it has been very enjoyable. What with being with all the new friends I have made plus working with a very upbeat camera crew. So now it’s Friday and it’s the last day we will all be together. It’s really sad, I know we’ve only known each other for 5 weeks but it seems like a lot longer and we have grown very close and I’m really going to miss everyone because it’s going to be weird not coming to Crisis anymore and seeing everyone.

Hi this is Adam with my last blog and yes it is very sad! This whole experience has really changed my life; before I started this project, I used to think I would make a good actor even though I haven’t done any acting since high school, but this project has given me the chance to act and develop my confidence and this project has even given me the opportunity to appear in a play in the city. So this whole experience has helped me find a new talent. I want to say thank you to everyone involved in the project and wish everyone of my peers good luck in the future!

I thought that this last week was very inspiring. It has given me a lot of experience and boosted my confidence even though I did not go in front of the camera. I hope to go back to the BBC to work with them again. I’ve had great fun, made new friends and learnt valuable lessons about life and all the opportunities there are.

It’s been great!!

This last week has been a different experience, working with a team, working with the BBC and also being in front of the camera where all eyes are on you. All-round, everything has been generally good, from the team work to the DVD, also working with each other. Experiences, making friends and sharing ideas have been good as well.
