							The 
							Routes into Languages fund was created to support 
							projects encouraging the study of languages at 
							school and University. In this instance the West 
							Midlands regional consortium was seeking a video 
							based product aimed at 13-14 year olds with the hope 
							of 'enhancing' languages as a positive GCSE choice.

					Instead of 
					pitching the usual 'corporate' video style film with people 
					talking about how much they loved languages, we researched 
					the media habits of the 'skins' generation. Using our 
					findings we proposed a drama based film staring young 
					attractive characters that use languages as a part of their 
					every day lives. 
					In order to 
					create an honest portrayal of teen life we secured the 
					rights to feature 'Facebook' as a key part of the film as 
					well as commissioning original music and songs aimed at our 
					target audience. The film was shot on location over several 
					days with a professional cast and crew. 
					 
					During post production we engaged in research and 'proving' 
					activities to enable us to test the audience response to our 
					work. This exercise was vital in enhancing and refining the 
					film as well as proving the positive influence on the target 
					audience to the consortium. 
					 
					The success of this initial project lead to a second 
					commission for a series of dramas to be used in the same 
					way.  |
