Beyond The Camera Beginners is a one-day opportunity for students aged 10-13.
Beyond The Camera Beginners is an introductory 1 day course aimed at young people who love to act, sing, dance, play an instrument. It is aimed at young people who want to learn how to operate a real television studio. The students on the course will both perform in front of the camera and drive the studio and all the elements beyond the camera.
We have previously trialled some enormously successful beginners’ courses, and now we open the course to all of New Zealand.
These exciting one-day courses act as an introduction to Beyond The Camera – the six-day TV and film experience for which has been operating since 1995. It has become very well known throughout New Zealand as a stepping stone for teenagers into the television and film industry and tertiary courses.
Now its time for our younger children to prove their capabilities!
Please give the brochures to any children aged 10-13 that you think would benefit from this thrilling day, when they will produce their own live TV show in the only professional studio in a New Zealand school.
