Posted on: 28/09/2017Guest speakers inspire Media and Film StudentsGCSE Media and Film students were invited to hear guest speakers from various fields in the media as part of the No Roof initiative. Eleven young professionals spoke about how they became successful in their media careers and highlighted the opportunities EGA students can take to help them establish their career. There were a variety of talks from fashion stylists, actors, artists, photographers as well as film directors, including Rollo Jackson who directs videos for Stormzy, Jamie xx and Chase & Status. We were also joined by director Nyiwa Katalayi who directs short films for Dolce & Gabbana and Adidas and the head of social media for Disney International. Media student Sonya, said "it was a wonderful opportunity to meet young people in the industry that were so successful. They showed there are no boundaries to success." â

This was a great opportunity for parents to meet each other and create connections for the next five years. Although we weren't blessed with summery weather, we still enjoyed a BBQ and some sporting matches. We look forward to seeing parents again at the Year 7 Settling In Evening on the 11th of October.

Posted on: 14/09/2017EGA Film students behind the cameras at UCL30 Media and Film GCSE students enjoyed a "documentary day" with the help of UCL and OpenCity Documentary Week. To begin, we watched a new documentary in the UK's only designated documentary cinema screen in the Brunswick Centre's Renoir Cinema. We watched the story of a Mongolian girl's story of her overcoming the male-dominated pursuit of eagle taming and hunting in The Eagle Huntress. We then went to UCL where students worked with volunteers and film makers to create short documentary-style films about a crime that had occurred at UCL. For many students, it was the first time they had been behind a camera other than that on their phone, so it was a really interesting experience for them to get hands-on with professional filming equipment. At the end of the day, students shared their work enjoyed seeing other groups' stories of the day. I'm sure this inspiring day will give several students a new insight into film-making and inspire them to make some films of their own in the future.
