Media (Film, Television and Radio)
Media (Film, Television and Radio)
The study of the Media is mainly a secondary school activity, but younger children, too, can enjoy learning about how radio, and television shows and films are made.
The British Film Institute promotes the study of film in the UK, while as the national broadcaster the BBC promotes education as part of its charter.
Major opportunities in this area include the Doctor Who Experience, Aardman Animations' studios, Granada's Coronation Street studios and the Harry Potter Studio Tour. Of course there are also many historic buildings and places which play host to TV and film sets including Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey), Alnwick Castle (Blackadder and Harry Potter), Portobello Road Market (Notting Hill) and Thetford (Dad's Army).
Visits tend to be to look round the facilities, but it is possible to book workshops and interactive events. The BBC provides the most accessible experiences to the largest number of students. It is possible to arrange visits to your local TV and radio stations and Liverpool’s Radio City has a tour programme.
Many schools also arrange group visits to see shows being made. Quiz shows and pop music programmes are popular, as are CBeebies programmes.
