Today I held my exhibition for my final university film ‘Velveteen’. It is aimed at a family audience, children ages seven to ten, so kindly Colehill First School agreed to show my film to years three and four. The children and the teachers filled out my survey. Not only this but they used the film for a Health and Social Care lesson to help the children understand the main character Lewis’s mental illness and the trouble his mother had at home. The survey was to find out if the children had understood the story. Questions were therefore included about these issues to see whether the audience response met these anticipations. I was so pleased with the results as the 60 children and teachers really enjoyed the film. They understood the story and liked the main characters. The children liked Rabbit and identified with Lewis as they have toy ‘best friends’. They liked Rabbit because he is ‘cute’ or they ‘liked his voice’, while others found him ‘loyal’ and ‘lovable’, and others liked the fact that ‘he loved Lewis’. Having worked for a long time on the production of ‘Velveteen’ I felt very rewarded that it got the response that it did and I cannot wait to direct my next piece.
