Following a successful live theatre production of Eric
Bogosian’s 1987 Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, Talk Radio, students at Banbury
campus have adapted scenes to the big screen.
The final HD films can be viewed here:
The project is a new collaboration between the Extended
Diploma Performing Arts and Creative Media Production courses. Working in
production teams, students produced a section of the play on a week-long film
shoot to create professional films in full HD.
The “Acting for Film” project was developed in response to
the growing number of young actors getting their first break on TV as the UK broadcast
industry continues to expand. It also offers a professional working environment
for media students looking to hone their craft.
“It was great learning about the differences between acting
for stage and film,” said performing arts student, Josh Ellis. “Film is more
challenging because you don’t have that immediate connection with a live
audience – you have to generate all of that energy yourself!”
“It was an amazing project to work on and an experience that
will greatly enrich my career”
