NCS - THE NATIONAL CITIZEN SERVICE.

NCS is a service that brings young people from the ages of 15-17 together for a four-phase program designed to provide skills and experiences. The first phase is the adventure phase, where the young person gets to go away for a week either camping or going to some sort of PGL, and they get to know there team they would be spending there experience with, then phase two is called discovery, where the young person goes away again this time to a more comfortable setting of a university where they develop them selves  by learning life skills, gain confidence in public speaking, communications skills and budgeting. Phase three is the social action, where the team comes together to come up with an idea to give back to there community either raising money for their chosen charity or volunteer at a care home or picking up rubbish.

I picked NSC mentors because i wanted to show the different side to NCS instead of just the participants side but the mentors that do the hard work and how much they have enjoyed their experience and what they haven't enjoyed about NCS as being a mentor as well i wanted to show the way the mentors operated as a team.

This documentary shows some reflexive mode because we see Nick Broomfield when he is interviewing or when he is getting more information from his sources. A Grand Night In: The Story Of Aardman.
