Throughout my second year of college, I became involved in a group called The Reporters Academy. The academy helps to nurture young people in to the world of media by exploring all the different aspects of media itself, such as photography, short videos, editing and interviews. I attended a few events such as the England v France Rugby World Cup Final at Salford Stadium, and the Sports Award evening held by Salford City College on behalf of all sports across the college.
At the rugby, i operated the sound while another students was giving the interviews. Although it doesn't sound like much, it was a very exciting experience. I'd never been to anything like that before and the atmosphere was incredible. All the footage we gathered that night we used later in a report of the event.
Below is the video for the Salford City College Sports Awards 2013. I am proud to say that i contributed to almost half of the editing of this piece. My role on the night of the awards was taking pictures of the award winners and the special guests such as Jamie Moore (Boxer) and Joe JJohnson (Snooker player). It was a fun night, i enjoyed being the photographer and met some new people. Going back in to college to see all the footage was amazing, there was so much to choose from and me and another student came up with this sequence. It involves interviews, vox pops and a montage of the whole night, and really captures how important something like this is to the college. It was a pleasure to be part of The Reporters Academy and I'll always be willing to take part if asked to do so again.
