Pembrokeshire rock group Clarity are performing the song

Media studies students at Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron are helping to make the short film which features a specially-commissioned track by the Pembrokeshire band Clarity.

It will be played at youth and young farmers' clubs in the region to promote the Welsh assembly funded Wales Rural Stress Helpline.

Those behind the project say youngsters in rural areas often face worries and difficulties not experienced by their urban counterparts.

The projected started because of the foot-and-mouth crisis and its impact on youngsters in rural areas Project worker Dolan Davies

Problems in farming, a lack of jobs and the fact some live in isolated areas are some of the issues.

Plant Dewi, a Church in Wales run charity working with youngsters in the diocese of St David's, has been awarded nearly �30,000 from the assembly for the project.

Filming is expected to wrap on Tuesday and the media studies students will then edit the footage.

Project worker Dolan Davies said: "The video is highlighting the problems young people face in rural Wales.

"We are hoping to take it around all the youth and young farmers' clubs in Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire to promote the helpine to people between the age of 14 and 24.

"It's basically just to get young people talking and opening up about their problems."

Students from Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron are making the video

Clarity were chosen to perform the video after winning a battle of the bands competition held in Aberaeron.

The band then wrote a song called Alone specifically for the project and had it professionally recorded at the Dreamworld Studios near Haverfordwest.

"The winning band was chosen by the audience at the competition," added Ms Davies.

"They then had to write a song for the video.

"In the video there will be clips showing the problems faced by young people in rural areas.

"The projected started because of the foot-and-mouth crisis and its impact on youngsters in rural areas."

Plant Dewi has also got a grant of �6,000 from the Nationwide Foundation for further projects to promote the helpine.

"We are hoping to develop radio dramas, phone-ins and move onto the internet as well," said Ms Davies.
