May 24 - Students Participate In Youth Arts Jamboree Videography Programme
This year’s Youth Arts Jamboree offered opportunities in videography, in collaboration with Wright Tech Media.
A spokesperson said: "Students Leon Alvez and Anna MacDonald, showed an interest and took on the challenge to record and capture many of the events and workshops as part of the programme. Although busy with school and other commitments, they ensured they could be involved in as many recording sessions as possible to make the most of the opportunity. Here, they took on hands on work, operating cameras, using tripods and learning different filming techniques."
Bayside and College student Leon Alvez, said: “The experience has been enjoyable and beneficial, adding these skills will be valuable to me in the future”.
Thirteen-year old Westside student Anna MacDonald said: “It did live up to expectations, and it has made me very interested in filming and the different aspects you need to consider. It has been extremely useful, and has given me a potential idea for a job when I am older.”
Wright Tech Media’s Georgina Pusey, said: “The variety of creative sessions, has provided them with insight and knowledge into these fields, and for those who were already interested or even those who wanted to try something new, the programme has offered them a chance to learn.”
“I hope Leon and Anna gained a further understanding of the process of filmmaking. From the production stage, seeing what it was like to be a part of a live, running, filming environment in various scenarios i.e. theatre production and a live music set. To post-production, which essentially is the editing process of overlooking all the shots they took, finding the right music and putting together a promotional piece.”
Gibraltar Cultural Services says it is confident this has been a valuable experience for all involved, and will continue to provide these type of opportunities in the arts for young people. You can view the promotional video on their website www.culture.gi and social media pages.
