Electric December - Day 18
This film is definitely ‘Ronseal’ – it does exactly what it says on the tin! “The Commercial” is essentially an advert for the work that Essex based community youth media project Mediashed does. And it shows just how clever they are.
Mediashed teach young people how they can make film and other forms of media using free software and accessible hardware. In “The Commercial” young people are seen on CCTV cameras holding up signs saying “We don’t pay”. Mediashed then accessed this footage and pieced it together using free editing software downloaded from the web.
It’s always good to see pioneering initiatives enabling young people to make films, but what’s nice about “The Commercial” is that it demonstrates that you don’t have to have tonnes of money to create a mini masterpiece.
Simple, clever and creative!
