Alien Autopsy

This week in enrichment, we had the pleasure of hosting Chris from The Brain Charity. During the session, students engaged in a variety of creative and technical activities. The focus was on producing a fictional alien autopsy, where students developed skills in various areas.

Key skills used during the session:

  • Special Effects Makeup: Creating realistic fake body parts and alien features.
  • Lighting Techniques: Setting up and adjusting lighting to enhance the atmosphere.
  • Camera Skills: Filming and capturing high-quality footage for the autopsy scene.
  • Sound Effects: Incorporating audio to complement the visual elements and enhance the scene.
  • Team Collaboration: Pupils contributed to each aspect of the process, working together to create the final production.
  • Live Performance: Students took part in filming a live organ removal scene, integrating lights, sound, and special effects to produce an immersive experience.

The session provided hands-on experience in various creative fields and encouraged teamwork throughout the process.
