WLC Takes Part in West London Film Hub Competition

Seven Creative Media Production Technology Level 3 learners took part in the West London Film Hub Competition last month. The students worked on a short film with industry professionals and competed against teams from Uxbridge College and West Thames College. The project closely mirrored real working practice in the media production industry, with the results ceremony taking place at Global Academy in Hayes on 27 June 2023. 

The group had 5 days to plan, shoot and edit a short film on either ‘West London – a great place to be creative’ or ‘Greening West London’. The West London College team chose ‘Greening West London’.

Gareth McLennan, Head of Curriculum – IT Digital & Creative at West London College said: “The seven learners representing us did a fantastic job, being commended for their professionalism, creativity, reliability and the quality of their short film.”

The West London College Creative Media Production Technology Level 3 learners who took part were Tiffany Ip, Phillip Rutkowski, Gladys Doctolero, Ashira Ngandu, Elamai Miah-Rek, Ahmad Kaabour and Sean McHugh.

Tiffany said: “It was a great opportunity to work as part of a team and meet lots of other students from around the college.” Fellow student Phillip said: “I loved working with a freelance professional who could teach me his skills, in an industry-standard environment.”

Ashira agreed: “It was a wonderful experience, we got to learn throughout the whole entire project.” Elamai loved the experience too, she said: “It was really cool to be around someone from the industry and to see how he worked.” Sean said: “It was fun taking part and meeting new people.”
