Winning the ICS photography competition and having my photography exhibited at the Houses of Parliament was a bonus! Travelling to Honduras and working with the human rights organisation Jóvenes Liderando Cambios and Progressio as part of the ICS scheme was fantastic, in 3 months I gained so much experience.
It was great to get the chance to explain more about my experiences to MPs. Presenting our work in the Houses of Parliament felt like a great achievement. Here’s a short teaser I produced and an extract from my speech on 8th October 2013: Continue reading
The BBC is taking applications for work experience placements this November and December. Deadline’s 14th October. The beeb highlights that “you will only be able to apply for one Work Experience category – TV, Radio, Online or Business and Support. There is no separate category for online work, but all categories offer placements that have a strong interactive element. When you choose your category and fill in your online application, we’ll ask you some questions about what interests you and where in the UK you want to be based. If you are successful, we’ll do our best to match you to a placement that’s right for you.” Find out what you can expect and how to apply, by clicking here.

Jelly Lincoln is an opportunity for University staff, students & Lincoln-based businesses and organisations to meet informally, exchange help, advice and ideas but also to explore new projects, partnerships and collaborations. The idea behind Jelly is that you bring your work to the event, so if you’re working on research, strategy, essays, external projects, funding applications, course modules – bring your laptop, books and your work with you!

From Sarah Barrow, Head of the Lincoln School of Media: Here’s a good opportunity to screen short films made by students, graduates and staff of the University as part of the Frequency Festival (18th-26th October). We’ve secured a slot at the prestigious ‘Collection’ venue in town on Saturday 26th October. If you’d like your work to be considered – it may be something already made or something you’d like to make over the next few days!
The winning prize will be an iPad mini for the film that the Festival directors like best – i.e. which they feel responds most effectively to the Festival theme. See the pointers for your entry.
Whoopee! Another fantastic achievement for the LSM. Our creative undergraduates and alumni are in the RTS Midlands Student Award Nominations in the Entertainment and Factual categories. Sarah Barrow, Head of the Lincoln School of Media, is delighted and summed up the films:
Dead Swan – comedy fiction by final students made as a second year project (this is a particularly fine achievement – as it’s rare that 2nd year work is nominated). The film was made by: Thomas McKie, Marc Piper, Aidan Barker-Dean, Alex Whitcombe, Bethany Hoggarth-Hall. Tutor was Senior Lecturer Chris Hainstock.
iMAGESKOOL – documentary by graduates was made as a final year project. The film was made by: Catrin Wright, Danielle Watson, Daniel Munns, Lucas Hattersley. Tutor was Senior Lecturer/Joint Media Production Programme Leader Janice Kearns.
Watch this space because the Royal Television Society Midlands awards ceremony takes place on 17th October in Birmingham. Good luck LSM!
Congratulations from the Lincoln School of Media. LSM’s Media Production final year student Andrew West participated in the International Citizen Service (ICS) programme this summer in Honduras and entered its photography competition and won the ‘Civic Participation’ category. Andy’s going to the Houses of Parliament tomorrow to have his photo exhibited with the other winners and has been asked to make a speech in front of the MPs!
Andrew’s winning image was the Feria Day and women’s football tournament in the Lenca community, Los Encinos in Honduras. The photo belongs to Andrew G West and all rights are reserved.
PhotoVoice said: “A perfect example of a moment captured that tells a whole story.” The prize-winning photo and the rest of Andrew’s portfolio can be found here.
From Hazel Donnelly, Project Co-ordinator at LSM’s New Media Social Enterprise. It provides opportunities for students to work collaboratively with local groups. This is Hazel’s call out for a camera crew for this Monday:
We’ve been asked to film at a number of locations around Lincolnshire from Monday 7th October to Friday 11th October, every afternoon.
I will meet with you to fill you in with all the details if you are working on this request. I look forward to hearing from you. If you’re interested in this great opportunity, please contact me: hdonnelly@lincoln.ac.uk
I’ve just been offered the opportunity to start work as a staff photographer for the Imperial War Museum and in particular the Duxford branch. Therefore my job is to mainly cover the Aviation aspect, as well as visitors and attractions within the museum. I will be working under the eyes of Richard Bayford who is head of visual resources and the photographer Richard Ash who produces the main bulk of the material for the IWM. This is a great new start for me and one I’m particularly looking forward to and something I’m very interested in taking to new levels.
Well done Sean and keep us posted in your photographic passion. Here’s Sean’s photographic portfolio for you to peruse.
