Future film-makers head to the London offices of The Guardian

Earlier this month, a handful of Year 9 pupils visited The Guardian Media Education Centre in London. The workshop provided an introduction to editing techniques and climate change issues, and linked to a number of curriculum areas including Photography, Geography and Science. The pupils gained an insight into what it is like to be a video editor at The Guardian working on multimedia content for the website. Working in pairs, they created a short film on the theme of climate change using iMovie. They edited documentary footage filmed by Guardian video producers.
Ms Travers, Head of Art and Design, said, “The pupils had a fantastic day and are excited about using these new skills in the future.”
A number of the students will be making films for the BBC School Report Day in March using skills learnt on the trip.
