Media Matters

Mrs Craig’s class are currently preparing to take part in this year’s BBC School Report project. Check out the photos of Ms Rossborough’s class who took part last year.

Grace Manwe, Year 11, recently took part in BECTA’s ‘Be a Reporter for the Day’ where she submitted a video entry on how ‘technology is changing the way we learn’. Watch this space to find out how successful she was!

 Stephanie Orr, Year 11, spent her Work Experience week at Cinemagic, N Ireland’s film festival for young people. She gained valuable insight into behind the scenes of organising a film festival-and even managed to get an invite to the awards ceremony!

Media Studies students from Years 12 and 14 produced a film about the new Ashfield building and were invited to the Education and Library Board conference at the Slieve Donard to showcase their work.

Year 13 Media Studies students took part in a Director’s workshop in school as part of Cinemagic’s Film Festival with Carol Moore. The workshop covered the Director’s key responsibilities and Directing for Drama – script development, prepping for production, role on set, the edit – with hands on exercises in storyboarding and directing. This was a great help for the students as they prepare for their own practical production work.
