Scotch & PLC Adobe Workshop

On Wednesday 6 May we had 30 PLC students arrive in Middle School to work with 30 of our Year 6, 7 and 8 students and Dr Tim Kitchen from Adobe Education for a full day workshop. We looked at using the software Premiere CC, the industry standard in film production, to create some of our own work. The students had the opportunity to gain insight into effective planning and filming techniques, including using green screens, editing processes and workflows.

This is the second year that we have been able to run this workshop with Dr Kitchen and the girls from PLC, and again it did not disappoint. It was a great opportunity for our boys to work in mixed groups to create a video of their own creation. The skills that were gained from attending this workshop will be useful across many of the curriculum areas they will be involved in. There was great enthusiasm by all involved and I have already had some boys asking when we are going to be running it again. We have every intention of keeping this as an annual fixture as the skills gained by the students is something that we see filter across the school.
