The independent Arts are becoming less important in todays society of technology, so we felt like it was time to have a story about the arts in the news in order to raise awareness about the different areas of arts, and hopefully create an interest in them.
The Hazlitt Youth Theatre and the Electric Palace in Maidstone are the subjects of our news report. The youth theatre is celebrating it's 20th anniversary, which means that it has helped young people find a creative outlet, and an appreciation for the performing arts in Maidstone for 20 years. The Electric Palace in Hastings, is an independent cinema that screens not only the big releases that you would find at any Odeon, but also independent films, and B-Movies too.
The cinema has a dedicated B-Movie Fan Club which is curated by 18 year old Robin Knowles. The fan club helps him with his autism and enables him to share his love for B-Movies on a monthly basis.
This cinema has won awards for it's film programming in the past, for showing an eclectic range of films, and helping audiences appreciate different kinds of cinema in a different way.
Our top line for this News channel is:
"Art Helps Young People, Greatly"
We chose this because our target audience is the youth, so we needed to aim our top line towards them.
Why Independent arts?
Ollie attended the Hazlitt Youth Theatre for 6 years, and has kept in touch, which is how he knew that a 20th anniversary was coming up for the youth theatre. Ollie also knows the leader of the theatre, Jenny Longings, who attended the first session of the first session of the theatre 20 years ago, and is now the leader of it. Because something like this can help give young people a creative outlet, we think it's worth asking the people who attend the theatre why they joined in the first place, and what the theatre means to them.
From there, we were researching lesser known places where the arts are shown, and found the Electric Palace, which seemed like a very nice place to include in our story.
