The Project
The University of Chester’s Athletics Union wanted to ensure all students signing up to sports societies made a pledge to agree to treat others with respect no matter race, gender, sexual preference, disability or religion. Whilst signing the pledge students would watch a video of uncomfortable scenarios previously reported to Students Services.
Our Approach
With the ongoing pandemic and summer break, filming acted scenarios was going to be too tricky to organise. This resulted in us taking an animation approach. Due to the serious theme and target age we decided to use a graphic novel style, as it would help to keep the viewers engaged whilst also allowing us to focus heavily on the emotions of the discriminated characters.
