The “new look” River is a new take on previous editions of the once a term magazine programme produced by the school. Instead of being a short video showcasing the school, it has now been adapted to a TV show format; the show has presenters who are students from the school and guests who range from faculty members to other students. Because of this a crew was needed to run the show and a group of Yr 13 BTEC media students took on the role for this all important first edition. Jobs such as camera operating, vision mixing, sound tech, lighting, floor Manager, offline editing and directing were performed by the students to great success.
Not only was this a fun extra-curricular activity it’s also a valuable learning experience for the students; it gave them the chance to build on the skills that they have acquired over the course. The reception from the audience was excellent, with many people commenting on the professional look and feel to the new show. This “New Look” River will be produced once a term and will give opportunity for students across the school and curriculum to get involved and be part of this exciting event.
