Sorry for the lack of recent blogging but I will catch you up to speed on things as soon as I can!
In our 5001 sessions we have moved on from the Behind The Scenes project onto Organising a Media Event.
These are the guidelines for our event:
- Suitable for 1st Year Media BTEC students
- Approx 20 16-17 year olds
- Friday 8th April 9.30-14.00
- £200 budget
- We have at least two rooms/spaces
We came up with a few things to do with the meaning/requirements of a media event:
- an occassion/celebration/event that will attract media or publicity
- workshop
- having a personality/celeb
- make an announcement, advertise/PR
When we broke off into groups we then came up with some ideas for what we could include in our media event. Without being bias I liked our groups one the best as I think it covers most of the above points including what would be the most fun which is getting in a 'local celeb'.Our idea was to construct a newsroom atmosphere and get the students to create a short news programme, this would allow people keen to write to write a script, the performers could be the presenters and those interested in the technology side could see how the cameras, sound and editing works. The great bit of it would be to try and get one of the presenters of BBC Points West/HTV local news to come down and co-present it with them. Not only would this make it more interesting for the kids but also would give a chance for the presenter to give a talk about how they got their job etc so it would also be informative/educational to them.
