Brief
We were commissioned to
make a video that would illustrate the close connection and progression between
the pioneering Diploma in Engineering taught in Birmingham’s Frankley City
Learning Centre (and other specialist secondary education colleges in the West
Midlands) and the courses due to be taught at the new Aston University
Engineering Academy, Birmingham when it launches in the near future. We also
needed to show the support received from local engineering businesses towards
the Diploma. The video would be part of the publicity package that would
encourage further investment and partnership by businesses and other
educational establishments.

We
filmed Diploma student classes led by a Midlands Wind Turbines installer and
also a field trip to see them servicing a 15 metre high turbine at a nearby
school. The students conducted field experiments and also participated in
lectures and Q&As, and these videos were combined with location interviews
with the College’s Diploma Head and the MD of the Wind Turbines business. The video we made was encoded for online delivery and for embedding into
presentations; it was also shared with the participating college and company
for them to use in their publicity and as examples of their work.
