🎬 A day of Screen Arts at Unitec!

As part of their annual academic exchange, 11 students from Hebei University of Engineering (HUE) spent a day with our Screen Arts team for a hands-on ‘Short Bites’ workshop.

Led by Screen Arts graduate George Gao and lecturer Rebecca Bernard, the students spent the morning learning camera and filming techniques before heading into editing in the afternoon, where they reviewed the footage they’d captured.

A fun, hands-on introduction to filmmaking and a taste of Screen Arts life at Unitec. 🎥✨
