Arts Award

I have now Completed The Arts Award at Silver level.

"Arts Award supports young people to develop as artists and arts leaders and is available throughout England. The Arts Award is a nationally recognised qualification at three levels - Bronze, Silver and Gold."

The British Youth Council has gathered ten young people to research, write, and produce a documentary film about youth culture in the UK over the last 60 years. The documentary, which is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, will show how British young people have been able to make an impact on society, make a difference through campaigning, and been involved in democracy and decision-making.

BYC is very pleased to welcome Dan Dunbar to the team and look forward to his contribution to a ground breaking film. Dan was selected for his professional standard photography and his enlightening short film exploring how the Fire Service deal with emergenicies. Dan will be interviewing MP’s, journalists, academics and other young people and The final film will be distributed around the UK on DVD and premiered in a top London cinema.

Film wins Dan tour of news studios

From the Eastbourne Herald

Published Date: 30 April 2009
A TEENAGE film-maker was given the chance to tour BBC South East after his firefighter film was shown at a media festival last year.

Dan Dunbar, a 15-year-old Willingdon Community School pupil from Polegate, created a short film entitled What Happens When You Call 999 which follows an emergency through its stages, focusing on the fire and rescue service's actions. It was shown at 2008's Sound Architect (Music and Film) Ltd film and media festival but funding constraints meant no-one won a prize for best film. Instead, organisers contacted the BBC to arrange an evening tour of its Tunbridge Wells studios.While there, Dan met editors, producers and presenters, learning how to edit a news story, broadcast live on the radio and create a weather forecast.He said, "For me, the most interesting and best part was watching the BBC news going out live in the gallery, where it all happens."Within the gallery the whole show is controlled, from the sound levels, lighting, video and effects to where it is being directed from."I found out there is someone making sure that all the timings are correct, as it cannot be a second over or under.

Tour of the De La Warr Pavilion

My Review of:
Tour of the De La Warr Pavilion

Twice a month on a Sunday you can have a well-detailed guided tour of the building and the surroundings for the price of just 6.50.

The tour guide shows you all over the building and in places, which have restricted access and telling you about the building as you go, and learn some interesting facts about the building like when it was build and how much. You also learn about the newly finished refurbishment.

I though the tour was quite good value for money and you given lots of information and a goodie bag. You also learn about the construction of the building and how it was used and how it is used for today.

The tour last for about an hour and a half and I would recommend the tour to people who like to find out about places around them, but it is not suitable for children as there is lots of walking and not much to do.

What Happens When You Call 999?

“What Happens When You call 999?”

Dan Dunbar made this film whilst in Year 10 at Willingdon Community School, Eastbourne, as part of his sliver level Arts Award, during 2008. He wanted to capture what happens from the moment a call to the Fire and Rescue Service is made to the engines going out.

Dan worked with Community Arts Manager Marina Castledine and professional filmmaker Nick Pilton after school to complete this part of his Arts Award. This included storyboarding and scripting the entire film, arranging a series of permissions to gain unprecedented access to the workings of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Services, shooting the film on location, as well as editing and presenting his work to the public.

The Arts Award, run by Arts Council England and Trinity Guildhall, supports young people to develop as artists and art leaders.

As a secondary school with Specialist Media and Visual Arts status, encouraging and helping young people both in school and out, to achieve an Arts Award, is an important commitment.

This film could not have been made without the support of the teams at both Eastbourne Fire Station and East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service HQ. Many thanks go to all the staff.
