You could be a Film Director on the 6th of July,
as Colchester comes together to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic Torch. A documentary will be created by the
people taking part in the celebrations and watching the Olympic torch relay.
Signals Media Arts Centre is co-ordinating this unique film
project. And are looking for young people, youth groups and schools from across
Colchester to contribute to a film that will document and celebrate the Olympic
torch relay in Colchester.
The film will follow on from other films that use community
created content such as ‘Life in a Day’ http://www.youtube.com/user/lifeinaday
and BBC’s ‘Britain in a Day’ http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00kqz5p. By having participants shoot the
footage themselves we hope to create a many-faceted film that really captures
this very exciting once in a life-time event.
Young
Colchester residents aged 11 to 19 years will be able to film the event or
preparations for the event using their own cameras and camera phones. The film footage will then be passed to
Signals and will be edited in to a short film.
The finished
film will be made available on-line and on DVD. A special screening in Colchester is also planned and
will be organised by Colchester Borough Council. The film will also be archived.
This project
is supported through funding from Colchester Borough Council, Essex County Council through the Essex
Legacy for the 2012 Games, and Essex Carrying the Flame.
