About this event
The Rise Up Academy Summer School is perfect for any student who is curious about how the FA Cup Final is broadcast to your screen, why so many cameras are needed at an event like Glastonbury, or who is considering a career in the media or in new tech such as virtual reality, but doesn’t know where to start.
It offers a fantastic opportunity to get hands-on experience of working in media technology and learn about all of the different steps that are needed to get great content onto your TV, tablet or phone, as well as highlighting the possible career opportunities across new technologies such as virtual reality.
This experience will include:
- Building a TV studio and creating a TV show;
- Exploring an Outside Broadcast (OB) Truck;
- Creating eye catching graphics;
- Learning more about post production and getting hands-on editing video content;
- Finding out more about what virtual production is;
- Exploring cloud technology with Amazon Web Services.
