headspace Adelaide Northern Virtual Tour - PLAY FILM

For their first project of the year, the Change Media team got together with headspace Adelaide Northern and their YAC(youth advisory committee) to create a fun and engaging virtual tour. During a two day workshop at the centre the team brainstormed and shot the film, which was aimed to make the service more accessible, fun and friendly and give some information about it for those considering accessing it.

The participants were part of a professional production, building on previous experiences from their July 2012 workshop with Change Media. Participants learned good interview skills, set dressing, and lighting theory.

“It looks professional and fresh and colourful and !!!!!! So excited about it! Thanks to everyone for giving us the opportunity to make something that will hopefully help more young people feel brave enough to come to headspace!”

2012 July - Elizabeth SA

As part of our A Penny For Your Thoughts initiative, Tallstoreez’ Change Media worked with up 15 youth participants, during a hands-on 2-day workshop at the Northern Sound System. Participants include staff from the Adelaide Northern headspace office in Edinburgh North, Youth Advisory Council members and young people dealing with social problems and mental health issues. The aim was to engage with the Change Media co-creative production and training methodology, including a basic intro to equipment and digital media narratives and how to create relevant digital media art works to raise awareness for mental health for young people.

All participants trained hands-on in no-nonsense video techniques, including HD camera and sound work on Day 1, a strong focus on recording interviews on Day 2 and how to build engaging narratives, create video messages and artistic documentations.

On the second day the group reviewed their footage and discussed improvements and changes for their second attempt at interviewing and developing story structures.

Topics included: interview techniques training and tips how to structure a story in 5 key points.
Special focus was given to cross-cultural process and equitable negotiations, the push for excellence as a political necessity especially in community youth arts. We demonstrated examples from our latest creative laboratories with Bell Shakespeare, Indigenous and refugee communities, to develop innovative strategies to craft messages and how to best use digital media for CACD work and social justice campaigns.
