Friday 5 March, 9.00-12.00 (5-7 volunteers required)
'S3 Campus Reporter'
Inveralmond Community High School at Edinburgh Uni
If you would like to sign up for this one please email me on claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk. As the event involves escorting pupils around Edinburgh University it is only open to Edinburgh University students or those who are familiar with the George Square campus.
The meeting time is 9.00 at Lecture Theatre 183 at the Old College and you’ll be finished at 12noon although an earlier finish time of 11am is also possible.
For a summary of the S3 event please see below;
This is campus based event where we use hand-held video cameras - cue much fun! After the usual ice breaking activity we split the pupils into small teams and set the scene. They are to act as researchers and reporters and will produce a short ‘TV news show’ by the end of the event assisted by you and the LEAPS staff.
Each ‘news team’, is tasked with gathering general background info on the university as they explore the campus with you but they also have a second task which involves them working on a specific ‘angle’ or news item, e.g. ‘The role of the Student Association’ or ‘The Study Environment’. Each group has a different ‘angle’ to report on and they use the video camera to record interviews and footage around campus which will be included in the final ‘news show’.
After a short break at Potter Row union the pupils return to the base room which is set up like up like a TV studio - if you use your imagination! The news show is then ‘broadcast’ with 2 pupils acting as the TV presenters who introduce each of the clips created by each of the news teams.
