Media Production Master Class

Filming Deadline is on Friday, do you need to know how to shoot something so that it looks good for your music video? Want to know how to make sure you film it right? pop over to the media deptartment on Wednesday after school and ask, you can leave when you want, we can try out some test shots to make sure you get your main shots right.

Final Cut is easy peasy. If you want to get to grips with it before you have to edit your video come round for some advice and a quick demonstration. Stay longer and maybe we can make some interesting little films for your portfolio, the university you are applying to will be very impressed if you can film and edit well.

The migration from final cut express to pro is relatively easy and pro is industry standard software.
