Green Light Celtic Media Festival Strand for Media Studients
January 16, 2009- GREEN LIGHT is the Celtic Media Festival’s strand for Media Students.
- This year the Celtic Media Festival is 30 years old – Come and celebrate with us!
Taking place in Caernarfon, North Wales from 25th – 27th March – GREEN LIGHT will be a diverse and focused programme of events covering various aspects of the media today. We also encourage all student attendees to be part of everything the main Festival has to offer: the networking, the awards ceremonies and the socialising.
The programme is currently being finalised but sessions planned for this year include:
- A Masterclass with Hammer and Tongs. Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith make up this highly successful duo who have made everything from iconic music videos (Blur, REM, Supergrass) to massive television advertising campaigns (Orange, BT). Most recently they have forayed into the world of feature film with The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Son of Rambow.
- Getting A Foot on the Ladder. A career focused opportunity covering everything from who does what in television production to how to pitch. Learn from those who have worked their way up from the bottom to the top including Alec McPhedran of Skill Channel TV.
- Radio Waves. With digital radio offering more and more to listeners, radio production company Dabster explain what it takes to work in this ever expanding industry.
