Hazel Blears’ Internship Bill failed to be get a second reading in parliament last week. Sabina Usher writes in the Independent “It was (an) important step in the campaign to stop unpaid internships and demonstrate that asking young people to work for free is unacceptable, and not to mention potentially illegal under national minimum wage law. While it wouldn’t have totally eradicated the practice, the Bill would have reduced these internships’ number and visibility and begun the process of necessary cultural change.”
Is this good or bad news for media production graduates? What do you think? Continue reading

The BFI Academy Course, run by LSM in conjunction with CfBT Education Services, is offering 16-19 year olds the opportunity to learn about film making from high quality tutors and professionals who work in the industry.
Like the Sound Masterclass, which is being delivered by Grant Bridgeman who works professionally in the film and television industry – both as a location sound recordist and in post production (sound design / dubbing) – and he’s also a part-time lecturer in the LSM. Grant said he has “been recording and manipulating sound since 14, and been passionate about sound and music ever since”.
Grant said: This Saturday’s Sound Masterclass will (in 90 minutes) try to put across the importance of sound in film and TV: how it can transform a scene (both for the good and the bad), render a location shoot worthless, and make you realise that without sound, cinematography is just a series of still photographs. There will be an introduction to equipment, basic techniques and recording levels, followed by a short practical to go record a short piece to camera with dialogue – the results / problems / lessons learnt will be discussed.
The mantra of the day is: “No one walked out of the cinema, whistling the wide shot”.

From Sarah Barrow:
Last year 3rd year Lincoln student Kenny van Mierlo came 1st in the UK and 2nd in Europe for the short film/video category of the Young Creative Chevrolet competition.
In order to help students enter the competition again this year, the organisers have contacted us to say that for the first time, they’re adding an extra dimension to YCC, with a programme of on-campus ‘in-discussions and talks’, giving students in registered universities the chance to listen and pose questions to media and industry experts in their discipline.
They want these events to be dynamic and inspirational and ultimately rewarding. They asked whether we might be interested in being the university in which to hold the video talk during the week commencing March 11th … of course we said yes! The date and location will be confirfmed shortly.
So watch this space! For this year’s competition, see the details here.
