This is a request for alumnae to assist with a project to recognise the personal and professional achievements of our past students, as an inspiration for current students.
It would involve you asking a friend to film you on their phone, just saying a single sentence as explained below; and you would then upload this (instructions below). We hope to then collate them together. The resulting video could be shown to our current students but would also be shared on social media, so if you’re not comfortable with that, please don’t send in a clip.
The idea is that everyone’s single sentence starts with the same words “I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and ….” but you would each finish the sentence yourselves. Some possible examples:
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I'm a construction engineer [filmed in hard hat on site, perhaps]
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I volunteer at my local food bank once a month [filmed at food bank if possible or in front of shelves of food, but without anyone else in the film]
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I'm an MP [filmed in Parliament Square perhaps -we wouldn’t be allowed to show a political affiliation]
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I provide advice to charities on fundraising
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I’ve climbed x mountain [holding some climbing equipment?]
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I design special effects for films
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I set up my own company doing xyz
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I’ve joined the Royal Air Force
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I now live in Australia and write for the Sydney Herald
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I’m an actress [or be more specific, I recently played x in the y film or theatre production, wonderful if could be filmed on a set or near a storyboard or by a film camera]
I went to Sacred Heart Hammersmith and I'm researching possible new medicines to limit the onset of dementia [filmed in lab]
Then we would put some together and end it with ‘Students from Sacred Heart Hammersmith can achieve anything they set their minds to.’
Please do not say anything more than your single sentence, so we can maintain the rhythm of the film.
Basic filming and uploading instructions are set out below. We need 20-30 to make this work and do hope you can take part. See some examples above of video clips that we have already received!
Filming Instructions (on a phone)
In order for the different clips to line up, we are asking that they are all filmed longways (portrait) and in the same alignment (as much as you are able to manage!). If you don’t have a grid already visible on the phone camera screen (see image below), I am told that this can easily be found in the camera settings.
The aim would be that your eyes should line up with the first horizontal line as shown below. Just do the best you can!!
An added bonus would be to film in a relevant location;or to film with props that relate to the sentence; or to make reference in your sentence to another country if indeed you are working abroad - anything to widen horizons!
Also remember to smile - clearly, I forgot that part!!!
Uploading the clip
It will cause problems at this end if you try to just attach your clip to a standard email. Can you instead please use this link to a free service called We Transfer.
Please use that to send the clip to Alex Dijkhuis through her direct email address (which may be showing when you open the link) or (equally fine) to her at comms@sacredh.lbhf.sch.uk
