New Media Lincs
New Media Lincs has been delighted to have been working with STERIS over the past year on a number of commissions which have been filmed over a few sessions at the SpringHill plant.
New Media Lincs is a Social Enterprise Company that was setup in association with the Lincoln Film School and Media at the University of Lincoln in 2013. The company is Directed by Hazel Donnelly an MA graduate.
The main premise of the company is to provide the film and media students with work experience opportunities of real-life client briefs. This work enables the students to create strong CV’s and showreels of work which give them a distinct advantage when applying for positions of work once qualified.
The students learn about all the different complexities that these projects involve, and it prepares them for working within the professional media environment. The projects are carried out under close supervision with support to produce professional standard work.
All projects are carried out by the students in their own time as extra-curricular work and as such we make sure that all students are paid for any work that they do. The ‘crew’ is handpicked for each project to ensure that all the necessary skills are covered but also where possible a mix of students from level 1-3, as well as graduate ‘Directors’.
Bringing in graduates to work with the company has helped to support new graduates and given them an opportunity to increase their confidence and CV’s as well as allowing us to engage the new students, with relatively few skills, as we can now give them one to one tuition in this supervised environment. We have found that the earlier we can get students involved in challenging projects the more motivated they tend to be throughout their courses.
