Sky’s The Limit for Media Students at DLD

Last Friday, media students from Years 9, 12 and 13 went up to Elstree for an educational tour of Sky Studios. This began with an introduction to what happens on-site at the studios, as well as an overview to the sorts of jobs that are required on a film set. The main task of the trip was to create a short pitch film using an LED virtual filming stage. Everybody learnt about their role in the film crew and how the whole team works together through each stage in a movie production. This was utilised through hands-on experience carrying out film development, which is useful to both studies in school and exposure to how the film industry really works. The trip also included a Q&A with a SkySports television presenter, which was a beneficial insight into another side of the industry in front of the camera as well as behind it.
