Review of 'Inspiring Yorkshire' which can be found here at Daily Motion.
Length: 03:07
Logline: Some young people want to tell you about unemployment.
It's hard to tell if this is the 'making off' or the actual film they've been asked to make about Bradford unemployment. Is it a film or is it a campaign? Or is it a film about making a campaign? Meh, whatever, it's not bad as far as youth projects go.
It's a group of lads who all look like they've left school and found nothing better to do than fall into filmmaking (who needs an excuse?) Each team member shows they have different skills and all seem to have a good grasp of their specialised area. It actually looks like they work well together and enjoying what they're doing (and haven't been forced into it).
The editing stands out as a particular strength here with good pace, good shot variation and on screen arrangement. Even the animation snippet looks quite professional. The camerawork also looks well composed and done with nice picture quality. If you're familiar with GarageBand, you'll recognise the royalty free music used but when you're on a budget, right?
Although the subject matter is wholly uninteresting and a bog standard youth project subject, the enthusiasm of the filmmakers and their like-ability help add some attention holding moments for the viewer. Again, with these sort of films, you have to wonder who the audience is and if this is just an exercise to keep the funding coming in. If this is aimed towards the money providers, then I think it's done its job well.

Best Bit: Competent editing.
Worst Bit: No actual short film about employment.
