By Megan Albany THESE SCHOOL holidays local teens are invited to hone their storytelling and reporting skills with former ABC broadcast journalist Ursula Wharton during a oneweek intensive course. The Multimedia Storytelling 101 course is being held throughout the week of July 15 to July 19 and includes studio recording time at Infinity Wall 97 and Tweed Creative Studios. Ms Wharton, whose eighteen-year career has spanned the ABC, Sea FM network and Griffith University, said she was inspired to share her professional skills and techniques with young locals aged between 15 and 18. “I’ve helped quite a few city people get a start in the media and I’d like to be able to help young locals in the Tweed Valley with some early vocational opportunities,” Mrs Wharton said. Students will be introduced to the foundations of journalistic practices, including
interviewing, scriptwriting, vocal presentation, photo/video composition, audio-visual editing, and basic law and ethics. The five day intensive workshop offers an introduction to journalistic skills and techniques and students will create three story projects for their portfolio including a short podcast, a radio news reading demo reel and a multimedia mini-feature story. The course will be held at three venues, Infinity Wall 97, the Murwillumbah Community Centre and Tweed Creative Studios and costs $295. Participants will need to provide some of their own equipment including a laptop/ipad and mobile phone. Places are limited and enrolment closes on Wednesday, July 10. A course outline is available at https://bit. ly/2KDgZYK. For further information and enrolment forms call Ursula Wharton on 0404 832 889 or email Ursula.Wharton@gmail.com
