16 Feb Media Workshop
Well done!
JRCS was lucky enough to have The Crew Room Academy approach the school and offer a media workshop to a selected group of Year 10 and Sixth Form students. The students had to write a letter of application and do an interview to be allowed to take part in this unique opportunity.
On the day, a large outside broadcasting truck came onto school site and Boothroyd Hall became a studio. The students learned about camera operations, vision mixing and the technical side of television production, technical roles and sound. They were the floor managers, the presenters and the editors, working with approximately twenty industry professionals to prepare, film and live edit a television production.
Eloise in Year 10 said “this has been a brilliant day; I have learned so much. The truck is so big and expensive with so much equipment in it. Everyone was really friendly; you can tell they love their jobs.”
Ms Harland, Head of Media, said “It is difficult to put into words how important today has been. The students have learned all about television production, the specialist roles and the skills involved. I am so grateful that Inspiring Futures and The Crew Room Academy have come to work with our students today.”
Mr Cully, SLT in charge of Careers, said “This whole event has been brilliant, the crew and staff involved have been fantastic. Watching everyone working together so politely and with such appreciation is a great example of the outstanding provision here at Jo Rich.”
The truck was open for students to walk around during break and lunch. Everyone involved said the Jo Richardson students were friendly and asked relevant questions. What a great experience for everyone at Jo Richardson.
