Barton Youth Brass Band: The Film

The very talented and enthusiastic Barton Town Youth Band have been making a film to enter into the Scunthorpe Young People's Film Festival. The film is about their enthusiasm for their instruments, the music and what it's like being in a band. Brass Bands used to be much more popular than they are today so they explored what it's like doing something that can be considered unusual, especially by your classmates at school. Filmed over two days, much of the shooting took part in Baysgarth Park on Saturday and thankfully the sun shone down for this part of the shoot. The Band worked with two local film-makers: Annabel McCourt of Cut Ltd and Rhian White of dare to know ltd (uh, that's me - well, how else did you think I knew about this??) and experienced a professional setup with a High Definition camera and a very sensitive Boom Mike! Much fun was had by all! Keep an eye out on this blog for the finished product and on the SYPFF website for more information about the festival. Details below.
