Job Opportunity

Media/heritage project 2013
The Battle of Evesham Interactive Game
Wychavon District Council is looking for an experienced filmmaker/animator/game maker and workshop leader to work with young people aged 11-18 years on a heritage/media project. We would like the young people to produce an interactive game that is available on-line that demonstrates the local history of Evesham in connection to the Battle of Evesham.
Background to The Battle of Evesham Interactive Game
During 2012 a consultation process took place involving young people in the Wychavon District.
In spring 2012 a series of media workshops happened with four youth groups with a professional media company. This included Pershore High School, a group at The Regal Cinema, Evesham, Bredon Youth Club and Droitwich Air Cadets. Each group looked at film making and animation which was then edited into a short film. This can be seen on You Tube.
With the exception of Bredon Youth club, due to members moving on, further consultation sessions took place exploring  heritage themes that each group wanted to look at in more detail. The Evesham group in particular wanted to look at The Battle of Evesham, it was found that young people didn’t know much about the subject and that is was studied very little in school. The other groups wanted to look at the history of the Lido in Droitwich and the history of Pershore Plum Pickers. These are being pursued through other projects.
Lisa Kimberley, a consultant heritage specialist, has recently been working with the Evesham group who range in age from 12 to 15 years to research the Battle of Evesham. They have been going to the Almonry Museum, the library, looking on the internet, going to the Hive in Worcester etc. They have been meeting on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. As well as helping the young people to do the research, she is the project manager of the project alongside Jenny Davis, the Arts Development Officer for Wychavon.
What we would likeWe are looking for an interactive game that is aimed at years 6 and 7 that can be used in school, but also with the possibility of being used by museums and libraries by young people. We would like it to be available on-line. It needs to be informative and interesting at the same time, simple to use, with lots of images and some text.
It would need to cover 5 sections;
1)      The setting- 1200’s shown through a map of the area
2)      Characters   (e.g. Simon de Montfort, King Henry & Prince Edward)
3)      The lead up to the battle  - (this should refer to the story and social/cultural/political context)
4)      The Battlefield        
5)      Gruesome weapons and battle gear 
6)      The aftermath
TimelineMarch- recruit media company and research workshops happening with the young people
April -research workshops continue and the game structure starts to be decided
May- animation workshops, filming, editing and final sharing of the game
Essential Requirements for the project
             An enhanced CRB check less than 3 years old will need to be seen for any relevant staff to be used on the programme
