Summary of work done:

Olivia was invited on this project at very short notice as a sound recordist/runner.

She

 brought with her a positive and eager attitude and approached this project with confidence. She knew
where

 to support and help me when needed. But it was also great to have her around in the environment we
were working which was, at times, quite emotionally stressful and upsetting.


We
 were working with elderly people with severe dementia, and I know we both found it hard hitting,


especially to begin with.



 main aim of this project, was to create a crowdfunding video for a cross generation project that
The
showcases Year 1 students interacting with some of the elderly residents living at Cedars Care Home in
Winscombe. All of these residents were living with dementia. I think we both found it amazing at the change in
the elderly before and after the children arrived. As soon as the children arrived, there were smiling faces,
lots of talking, and one man even ventured outside after 6 months of refusing to go out. It was a day that both
the children and the residents had looked forward to. And it was great to document the excitement, fun, care
and memories.

Liv was amazing. Not only did she help me, but she also interacted, chatted and did craft with the residents
and the children. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else on this project. I thank her for coming out with me on a
day where we could have easily melted (it was very hot)! And as usual, she was a joy to work with.

I will always want Liv on one of my projects - isn’t she lovely? :)
