Media Students a Must read…
Well reading week is now behind us and it was a busy one!
The media development team was busy looking after Media’s 1205 & 1208 students as they were given their first introduction to Edge Hill’s HD television studio.
Studio Production Gallery The intention of these training sessions is to give first year students the opportunity to see first-hand the variety of production equipment used to produce a TV show. They are designed to give students an insight into the variety of the different production roles, and the key skills required to fill them, as well as giving them the oportunity to get hands on.
In our next blog we will update you on the arrival of our new Avid Media Composer editing systems. This system will give the budding editors amongst you, a chance to edit on another industry standard platform. So make sure to keep an eye on our news via this blog.
If you would like to learn more about what we do or need help with Media or ICT you can contact us at [email protected]
