Make a video (or a series of photos) about your Venturer group and Woodcraft Folk district to send to another group in another part of the country. To arrange to pair up with another group, you could twin with one you met at a national (or international) camp or event, put an article on the Woodcraft Folk website asking for another group to volunteer and get in touch, or get in touch with Head Office (email lauren@woodcraft.org.uk) to be put in contact with a particular group.
Talk to your group about what to include in their film. It could be:
- An advert to show off what your group does
- Telling others what you get up to at your groups, camps and residentials
- Sharing what you enjoy about being part of Woodcraft Folk
- Give another group a challenge for example – who can put up a tent the fastest, who can sing a woodcraft song, who can learn another language or a song in another language
- Set quiz questions for another group, for example – a quiz about Woodcraft Folk or a general knowledge quiz
When you plan your film project, you might find it useful to:
- Spend some time planning what you want your film to be about and draw up some story boardsbefore you get the camera out.
- Rehearse or walk-through any staged scenes.
- If you need it, why not see if there’s anyone in the district who could give you some technicalsupport and advice?
Extra tips: Doing the preparation, filming and editing for a film can take a little while, so it might be worth setting aside two or three group night sessions to work on this and possibly establish a small group of volunteers to do the editing on a computer at home.
