I know that some people have involved Scouts in making short films as part
of the Scout programme.
I am looking for more in the way of creative short films that may be funny
or serious but not just a documentary.

It is something I would like to try but want to give them an idea what
others have done.

We can produce 2 video cameras and have given patrols 30 mins to plan some
short 2 min videos. I don't let them have the camera until they have spent
their 30min planning. By far the easiest way for them to get started is to
give them the challenge of producing a TV soap or advertisement. Otherwise
they spend the whole 30 mins arguing and not deciding what to do. I would
also advise using tripods if only to stop the viewer feeling ill. ( It also
helps keep an expensive camera a bit safer!)Here ( possibly) are 3 very
short web versions of a couple of evening video nights. I got the idea from
Chris5th who actually shows the videos the same night. I tend to take them
home and edit them a bit and show them the following week.http://www.bermondseyscout.co.uk/gallery2/v/video/Friday_+2006+Video+...

i set a theme,

last time: a gorilla has escaped from the zoo.

and themes.

one group made big brother (with an escaped gorilla)
one group did a news report (about an escaped gorilla)
one group did a blue peter style section (about an escaped gorilla)

they must do stop start recording (no editing) but at the end of the
night we show the films to the kids.

and it was very very funny.
