Media Studies Day

QE’s A Level Media Studies students enjoyed participating in an inspiring Music Video Study Day to develop their knowledge and technical skills in practical music video production. The day consisted of “top tips” for music video production, followed by a practical filming session where students re-created a Strokes music video using a multi-camera and continuous lighting set-up. All students had a go at performing, directing and operating the cameras, developing skills in shot composition, movement and directing. During the afternoon session, students engaged in a practical editing workshop using Adobe Premier to edit an extract of a music video. The event not only provided the students with an opportunity to enhance their performance and technical skills but motivated and inspired them to strive for the highest grade possible in their advanced media portfolio. They also gained a very good idea of the skills required in this career. Students stated that the day was fun, exciting and invaluable.
