Not even the sweltering heat that enveloped the entire corporate area could prevent the Talk Up Yout School Tour from journeying into the Sunshine City, Portmore to visit Cumberland High School. This was the third stop of the tour which is powered by UNICEF, National Baking Company, Purewater and Island Grill and the Talk Up Yout Team was accompanied by representatives of the National Council for Youth Development and the Jamaica Youth Advocacy Network.
The talk up Yout school Tour continues and the issues mentioned by the youth are real eye openers. This stop is the Hopewell High School, located in Hanover. The Talk Up Yout team led by Emprezz Golding, powered by UNICEF, National Bakery, Purewater, and accompanied by a representative of the Jamaica Youth Advocacy Network & Steppa made the rough 4 hour journey to give the students of Hopewell High School their chance to TALK UP! The excitement of the students was so infectious that before long the entire team felt energized and ready to hear the issues faced by the youths in Hanover.
I made a previous post about the Talk Up Yout school tour and the first episode is finished. Lets hear what the nations youth have to say as the issues they face in Tivoli Gardens.
The United Student Movement is the premiere student government body at the Northern Caribbean University (NCU), which seeks to act in the interest of the students and aid in the development of the complete man, by improving physical life, mental awareness and spiritual well-being.
So i have never been put in a situation where a shoot was cancelled 3 times in aid of all the required persons being there and still have to shoot with a main person missing. Nevertheless this project needed to be shot and edited with all effects in by Thursday of the week. On Sunday morning we rose early and got started. Early is relative because we didn't start shooting until about 10am. Now after looking at what was required and what was shot, i literally had fire running through my veins, not because i was worried but mostly because i was worried, "would i be finished in time?" I worked and worked, then i slept and worked, then i ate and worked. Then i went to a few classes and then i worked some more. When you have something in your head its easy to tell someone else what it is. But what about that point when it is to be executed? Children should be seen and heard. They should be treated with respect, cherished, loved and of course given the opportunity to speak. Talk Up Yout is a television show which deals with the issues of young people and the solutions to their issues. It is amazing to see the amount of young people which are affected by issues such as rape, Physical abuse ,Juvenile Delinquency and the influence of the media. Since there are so many youth to reach, Talk Up Yout has decided to plan and execute the 'Talk Up Yout School Tour'. This allows an avenue to reach a greater number of youths who may not have gotten the opportunity to be apart of the television show.
So i was told everyone has their own style to develop characters, so i put pencil to paper. Since i have no graphic tablet i had to use shapes and a little bit of pen tool to try to create my character. Well here is Chris. If you read the post before, you would know Chris is the main Character for my script titled "Mad Rush". Chris is a young college student, a bit untidy and lives alone. He jumps out of bed one morning and realizes he is late, and then finds himself in a mad rush to get to his destination.
