Educational Film
Joe takes us on a journey around West Hill School and into the classroom where we meet his fellow pupils and teachers. We learn about the practices and techniques adopted by teachers along with their personal journeys. We also meet James who talks to us about his Aspergers, the difficulties he has faced, along with the solutions adopted.

The Concept
The Strategy
West Hill School is a school for children with complex learning difficulties including ASD.
To create an educational film aimed at training mainstream secondary schools in the methods of both recognizing and supporting children with ASD.
To make an engaging and evocative film that not only deals with the different methods of engaging children with ASD, but also how to identify where problems can develop in order to prevent them from surfacing; and when things do go wrong, how to turn it around in a dignified and supportive manner.
It was essential that the film not only captured the essence of West Hill School, but that it also demonstrated the emotional aspects of learning.

To take the audience on an emotional journey into the world of the children in order to enable a better understanding of thoughts and reasoning.
We used a documentary style approach that placed us into the minds of the children, we also worked ourselves into the narrative of the film as filmmakers attending the school.
Achieving this required expert documentary techniques, in order to tell a complex narrative from the perspective of the children, and flexibility as the children were often unpredictable.
