Safe in school?

I urgently need video material that I can use in another film on the topic of Safe in School? If anyone would be interested in helping out and you're based in or around South Wales, please let me know and I can come to you. What I want to explore is your reactions to the idea that children are safer being educated in school where their welfare can be (allegedly) monitored, than being educated at home where they may be seen regularly by their family, friends and community but not by qualified professionals. If you or your children have any direct experiences that you or they are happy to talk about and for me to use, then please do put them on the film.

If you're not based locally or you prefer to make your own, here's how to go about making a short video that you can upload to my server. All you need is a basic camcorder (and the ability to upload from the camera to your internet connected PC) or a mobile phone with video capabilities, and a couple of helpers. Get one helper to set up the camcorder or phone so that your head and shoulders are in the shot and then ask the other person to stand off to one side so that you have someone you can look at while you're talking so that you're not looking directly into the camera. Make sure you are in a well lit area, outside if weather permits, but don't whatever you do have a window behind you! Be aware too of background noise and don't use the zoom at all please - it makes it impossible for me to cut and stitch bits together if some are zoomed in and some zoomed out. Please don't mention any names and be careful about getting identifying landmarks, your house or car registration plates into the shot. Other than that, it's reasonably straightforward. Don't worry about editing, let me have all your footage and I'll work magic with it !

I'll set up a server where you can upload your video when you're done and I'll put the address on here or for mobile phone videos you can probably just email them to me.

I really would appreciate your help with this please!
