We’re thrilled to share our new uplifting video, In Our Words, with the BGS community.
Over four days of filming during September, we set out to create a short film that captures the essence of BGS through the eyes of our students. This captivating video showcases our special community in all its authenticity – no scripts, no actors, just our incredible students.
Take a moment to watch the film here.
Highlighted below are reflections from some of the students involved:
Anna Trueman (Year 7): “I really enjoyed the feeling of being involved in the filming project. It was quite nerve wracking but the setting with the lights and mist made it really exciting. I feel the project was important to show how much the students care about their school and want to show the opportunities available at BGS.”
Faith Adeyemi-Abere (Upper Sixth): “Being a part of this process has been amazing: having the opportunity to work with my friends whilst meeting new people is an experience I’ll never forget! From participating in a short film to being filmed on a large scale, one thing I’ve definitely taken from this experience is to be more open and say yes to things because you never know where it could take you and what opportunities it could entail!”
Tash Miller (Upper Sixth): “Despite being slightly nervous to begin with, I really enjoyed the filming process. The director, Olly, was very friendly and so after a while I didn’t notice the cameras - it just felt like having a normal conversation. He asked me about my favourite experiences and highlights of being at the school, like the Bugsy Malone musical and National Hockey finals. We also discussed the brilliant facilities, like Cople Fields, which we use regularly.”
Isabel Baker (Upper Sixth): “I was honoured to be asked to be a part of the BGS filming project. It gave me the chance to shine light on my two passions, dance and chemistry, as well as speak openly about the powerful impact BGS has had on me in my nine years at the school. As much as I am comfortable dancing in front of an audience, having a professional production company with lights, cameras, (even a smoke machine) filming me was incredibly exciting, if not a little daunting! I am so proud to have represented my school in this new promotional video, and to have become an immortalised snippet of BGS history.”
