A dialogue free promotional film for the European Media School, formerly the North East Media Training Centre (NEMTC). In the film students feature receiving training and work experience in all aspects of media production both in studio and on location. The film ends with a montage of clips from several student productions, including several by deaf students. Title: EMS. European Media School A map of Europe focusing in on the Northeast of England changes to a phantom boat ride passing under the Swing Bridge on the River Tyne. A group of students arrive at the European Media School (EMS) at Stonehills Studios and head inside sprinting upstairs to a lecture theatre. In a studio a tutor assists students as they set up video cameras in readiness to film a television programme. Two students move their wheeled cameras around the space, one camera passing a presenter siting on a sofa. In a classroom a group of students listen to lecture while in another room other students on a tour listening to a facilitator. Students walk quickly up another set of stairs while in an office a tutor is on the telephone while holding a fax from the Hellenic Cinema and Television School Stavrakos. A female cameraperson and her male colleague working along the Gateshead quayside changes to switches being flicked and lights coming on in a studio. Again, students working cameras, booms and other equipment while in the control room others provide direction via microphones and flick switches on the mixer desk. Four video cassettes are brought over to two editors sitting at a computer. While the woman edits the production using Avid software, the man sitting next to her give details on the shots he is after. Examples of their work appear on the editing timeline and a Stonehills Studio countdown counts down. A Beta SP tape is swapped out and the editing continues with the sequence ending on a fade switch being pulled. The EMS logo changes to a montage of clips from several student productions including several deaf films. The EMS logo again with the students featured at the start of the film now coming down the stairs and leaving the college. A montage of black and white stills featuring the students at the college with the film ends on the crew posing and smiling at the camera at the end of their production ‘Lydia Oh Lydia’.
