For the first time, our Creative Arts department ran the Shakespeare Schools Film Festival as a federative venture with representation from all three of our sites – Carisbrooke College, Medina College and The Island VI Form.
With only 8 hours to create, plan and film everything needed, the group based themselves at the Island VI Form drama studio and created an updated social media centred version of the classic “A midsummer night’s dream”. With hidden cameras and Vlogs the students recorded a mix of modern and Shakespeare scenes to blend the story and weave a tale of comedy, drugs and love. The performance was then edited by Mr Martin and sent to Shakespeare Schools Foundation. The production can be viewed on the Shakespeare Schools Foundation website.

The students recently received outstanding feedback on their submission, you can read the appraisal below.
A huge congratulations to this very talented team!
