BBC Bitesize Virtual Options Evening
In the summer of 2024, BBC Bitesize commissioned us to produce a suite of 32 interview-led films for their online Virtual Options Evenings, tailored for use in Wales and Scotland.
The biggest challenge in this project was casting. We needed a diverse range of pupils and teachers who could represent the breadth of each region. In Wales, this meant finding contributors fluent in both Welsh and English, with a variety of Welsh accents. For Scotland, we required around 25 diverse pupils and 8 teachers who could speak confidently and articulately about a range of subjects.
Ultimately, we filmed at two schools in Wales—one in the North and one in the South—and two schools in Glasgow. The results were fantastic: 35 stylishly shot, informative videos designed to stand the test of time and guide hundreds of schoolchildren in making important decisions about their subject choices.
History: Scotland
This is the teacher video for History in Scotland. It is just one of 35 videos featuring a range of subjects led either by teachers or pupils.
P.E. Scotland
This is the video about Physical Education, filmed in two schools in Glasgow. It is one of 8 videos we made featuring Scottish pupils.
