Last week the Production and performing Arts students presented their final film/video projects to an industry panel made up of former NewVIc students Tom Smith-an award winning filmmaker who is studying a Masters in Film Directing, Shammi Pithia-a hugely acclaimed composer, producer and musician who hit the iTunes World Music Chart with his album and has performed at Glastonbury, The Purcell Room, Hayward Gallery and Sadler’s Wells and lastly James McClear – successful sound engineer; recording, mixing and mastering with artists notably at SSR, London Neve and S6 studio.
Students were given an assignment entitled ‘The Island of East London’ and were set the task to interpret the project title to produce a final film. Their ideas, processes and reasoning were then presented to an audience including the industry panel to be critiqued.
Tom Smith, impressed by the students effort, said ‘’The work devised by the students showed me that the standard of the Media and Music subjects are still as high as when I was a student. The students demonstrated creativity and their ability to use their talents to engage an audience.”
Students like Richie Ekila have learnt to use EQ reverb and a range of sound processing techniques to make their work standout. Richie said ‘’I spent time learning these techniques in order to enhance and add depth to my music and this project”
