Students work with award winning film producers

Students studying A Level Film Studies at NULC took part in an engagement event with Junction 15 productions as part of the Bottle Cap Film Festival in Newcastle town centre.

Former NULC Film Studies and international award-winning film producer Suzanne James led sessions along with Darren Teale, Creative Director for Junction 15 productions.

The students were split into groups and Suzanne spear headed the camera work - our students were instructed in the use of industry standard cameras, the same Panasonic equipment which the BBC use, and the jib was also put into use which allowed our students to film some fantastic crane shots . 

Darren took on board the editing and delivered a workshop in how to use Adobe Premier CS6. Junction 15 screened their professional films, pop videos made for MTV and discussed budget, location shooting, editing, industry protocol and networking/client customer liaising providing an invaluable insight into film business practice .

Verica Travar-Williams, Curriculum leader for AS/A2 film studies and A2 media studies, said: "The students were beaming all day, despite the cold and a wonderful day was had by all - I was very proud of team film especially how energetic and enthusiastic they were with every task given."

Four students stayed  on as ambassadors for our college in the afternoon and guided/mentored primary school children and helped out with Suzanne and Darren, in terms of filming and editing.
