Asylum Seeker Resource Centre media training 22012 November - Melbourne VIC
This was the second workshop with the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. We continued work on their video for a virtual tour of the centre and developed artistic concepts for the series of debunking asylum seeker myths and train the trainer tool kits.
The final virtual tour was finished in January 2013. This workshop focussed on co-creative editing and shooting additional action and interviews for each of the 5 pillars at ASRC.
The team reviewed footage an assembly edits from the first 2-day workshop and identified missing interviews and overlay footage.
We collaborated on the narrative structure, to find a creative solution for a promotional video that will appeal to potential supporters as a fund raising tool, but also would stay true to the reality of asylum seekers and their supporters at ASRC.
One of the most important aspects were the directorial discussions with the asylum seeker team, to make sure the video will hit the right tone, represent asylum seekers reality well, while being slick enough for a virtual tour/ campaigning/ fundraising tool.
Interesting debates around political representation, the spin of ‘authenticity’… – an amazing cross-cultural collaboration, we can’t wait to get started on the bigger campaign!
