Stuck for ideas?
Here are some questions which might help you come up with an idea:
- What’s normal anyway? - What does a school look like where everyone can be themselves?
- What do teachers need to know about bullying?
- What do parents need to know about homophobic bullying?
- How can lesbian, gay, bisexual issues be included in lessons?
- How can people be encouraged to report homophobic bullying?
- Does homophobic bullying differ whether someone is/assumed to be lesbian, gay or bisexual?
When planning your film clip, here are some things you might want to think about.
February is LGBT History Month, so why not get your whole school involved? You might also want to have a look at some of our resources for inspiration and information and last year's winning film clip (below).

Film Clip Competition 2009
Three shortlisted film clips were screened on 4 March at the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival (25. March - 8. April 2009). The young film makers were invited to attend a reception at the at the BFI Southbank prior to watching their clips screened on large screen alongside the feature film Tru Loved.
The judging panel consisting of director and actor Rikki Beadle-Blair, London lesbian film maker Lisa Gornick and Stonewall Youth Volunteer Ramona Mason, decided in favour of a clip called 'Homophobia in Schools' by Clemency Keily-Baxter and Maddie Lawson from City of London Girls' School. The runner-up was 'Can I get their number?' by Antoinette Drakes and Riane Botchey and other students of Lewisham College. Third came 'No matter what the language' by Lucy Foster and Carolyn Walker, who are both Stonewall Youth Volunteers.
Congratulations!
