Kid Witness News visits Kinglake, Victoria

By Derek Fung on 18 September 2009

As part of the Kid Witness News program, last week we travelled with Panasonic to Middle Kinglake Primary School, one of the schools affected by this year's Victorian bushfires.

Competition

The Kid Witness News program includes an annual worldwide short film competition. All entries have to be five minutes or shorter. Despite the Kid Witness News name bringing memories, to our minds at least, of the classic Channel Ten news theme, entries needn't be a news item or, even, news based. Prizes are presented in a number of categories, with the overall Australian winner going on to represent our country in a regional showdown and, possibly, the worldwide finals.

Due to a variety of factors, Middle Kinglake Primary missed the cut-off date for entry into this year's comp, but are hoping to produce a video to be displayed at next month's award ceremony. As such, the school received a crash course in all things related to TV, camcorders, scripts and acting with former host of Australia's Funniest Home Videos, Toni Pearen, and yours truly.
