Assignment Brief
Everyone Sang
You will be undertaking a selected role in a live performance filming of Everyone Sang.
It is November 1918, the war is over and the men and women who have endured the last four years serving
their country in so many different ways must now pick up their lives and go back to some semblance of
normality. But for some this is harder than for others, and society is changing fast. Out of the poverty, despair,
loneliness, isolation and mental trauma borne by so many a new sense of community is born and a new spirit
of community and hopefulness is found through song.
The production is a live production project that will require filming and mixing live. The project is a
group task and will require all to work alongside each other . Th client will be taking the project to be
used for promotional purposes on their website.

Brief
We have been commissioned to capture a live performances of Everyone Sang by the Central
Youth Theatre. They want to have a live event which captures the show as well as the atmosphere
of the show. The show is a two hour live play which incorporates performance and singing
accompanied by the Orpheus choir. The narrative is following the lives of women affected by the
first world war and effects on war for the men who came back. The style of camera work and
editing for this project should be in the same style as the show a strong focus on capturing the
event through smooth movements that follow the action of the narrative and characters.

These images below give an idea of the style of the show.
