What we did: We shadowed members of the UK Youth Parliament on their ‘Journey to Westminster’ over the course of sixth months to capture the personal transformation young people go on. As the majority of staff at the British Youth Council are on the front-line delivering the amazing training young people need to succeed in their activism, we were here to help them capture their impact qualitatively as the journey unfolded.

When You Don’t Feel Great About Your Body

What we did: Over the course of six months a Lens Change filmmaker produced several films to help communicate the great work of the Youth Select Committee (run by the British Youth Council) to a wider audience. On the second of two ‘Oral Evidence’ hearings at Portcullis House in Westminster the material for this short advice sharing film came together, of which the messaging was particularly powerful and apt. If we could all embody just one piece of advice from this film we’d all feel that little better about opening our social feeds.

What we did: This film was the first in a series of twelve we made for the British Youth Council to show their impact on the ground as they provide opportunities and training to young people in the UK. We captured material for this film as part of the Youth Voice Leadership Development programme training at the start of young people’s terms as Members of Youth Parliament (MYP). On this action-packed day in Canterbury our filmmaker set out to capture what the MYP’s priorities were for the year ahead.

Topic: Youth Homelessness

What we did: A Lens Change filmmaker co-created several promotional films in collaboration with HighRise theatre company to help promote the show the Concrete Jungle Book. This variation on Rudyard Kipling’s classic was devised with young homeless people in London and makes informed statements on the refugee crisis and inflated rent market. Mogli’s track specifically featured substantial steadicam work through the streets of Soho, London to show the characters neighbourhood in a fashion familiar to that of a music video.

This variation on Rudyard Kipling’s classic was devised with young homeless people in London and makes informed statements on the refugee crisis and inflated rent market. The shooting of Baloo’s film on the streets of Soho lead to an impromptu Street Cypher, which with the camera still rolling, provided a fantastic top and tail to the short film.

Why I Volunteer In The NHS

Client: NHS Youth Forum
Topic: Youth rights in healthcare

What we did: At The NHS Youth Forum’s quarterly meeting in Doncaster our filmmaker had probably one of the toughest briefs yet – shoot 23 films in just one day! As this was a new cohort of young people for the forum’s year ahead we organised for the filming of 22 new new recruits to give a direct-to-cam video introduction to the young people they represent. In workshop with members we then co-created this short campaign film as a useful asset for their campaigning in the month’s ahead. The film focussed on the importance of volunteering in the NHS, a topic which many in the forum had some fantastic contributions to share.

Peer Support Is My Lifeline

Topic: Youth rights in healthcare

What we did: One sunny Saturday in the Peak District, we commenced a half day challenge with NHS Youth forum members to devise and shoot a film in one afternoon. This short film would play by scanning a QR Code on a poster we’re co-creating for them for display in hospitals, dentists and GPs surgeries. The objective of the comms is to promote the importance of young people engaging in peer support. For many young people, becoming a frequent healthcare user, can be daunting and isolating. These comms share the value of finding peer support being a top priority with messaging for young people; by young people.

Your health is in your hands

Topic: Youth rights in healthcare

What we did: Many young people (and adults!) use the internet to try and determine an ailment when they have ill health symptoms. This often leads to false diagnoses as people land in forums or on unofficial healthcare websites. Devised and shot during a one day film residency with the NHS Youth Forum, we worked to devise three short films that would help emphasise the importance and satisfaction of receiving an official diagnoses, highlighting some of the options as to how they can do this.

Topic: Countering Violent Extremism (CVE)

What we did: When working to prevent violent extremism and stop the radicalisation process there is no one size fits all approach. Individuals can get drawn into extremist narratives for a whole range of different personal reasons. Acknowledging this at the inception of the RAN’s Exit Hate campaign, we used storytelling to explore different perspectives of people affected by extremism. These stories would offer alternative narratives to that of extremists and provide a platform for voices of people affected by violent extremism to be heard.
