BROADCAST CENTRE, EDIT SUITES,
FILM STUDIO AND RADIO STATION

   We created our Broadcast Centre after
   acknowledging the industry's need for
   skills-based students with hands-on
   expperience of the professional world of audio
   and video production.

   HELP Media Studio provides students
   experience of the production and post-
   production work-flow. Access to broadcast-
   quality cameras, DSLRs, lighting, audio
   recording devices, and editing software
   enhances their skills and expertise.

   The HELP Radio Station is run by students
   under the guidance of professional staff
   throughout each semester and operates on a
   MAC platform.

   In order for students to meet industry
   standards in editing and visual effects apps
   which are required in some of the
   Communication degree and diploma
   programmes, the workstations now include
   Hitfilm Express (video editing and visual
   effects), Davinci Resolve 16 (video editing and
   colour correction), Motion 5 (visual effects)
   and Compressor (media export tools).

   The Film Studio has been transformed to
   become an indoor production studio. The
   students are exposed to the process of
   multiple camera production recording, green
   screen production, broadcast standard
   workflow and photography shoots.
