The children very much enjoyed the film and gave me some excellent feedback:
• Good accents
• Clear voices
• Made you think about what Newlyn used to be like
• Helped you to picture what they might have looked like
One boy said he would like to have seen more… the voyage and arriving in Australia! This led to a discussion about funding and how the project was set run using professional crew and actors, media students and amateur actors.
Daniel’s first performance as Job Kelynack was also very well received. He played to 127 children.
More excellent feedback:
• Fantastic acting – the children were all engaged and interested. Good involvement of the children.
• Children all engaged with the story and excited about undertaking further work.
