Students Create Films For Kent TV

Students studying at Canterbury Christ Church University have produced three films in collaboration with Kent TV to create a film on student housing.
The films were showcased in front of council members, staff, students and members of the public at a special screening on October 27.
The three films tackle issues of student housing, homelessness and housing development and are based on research carried out by the University's politics students.
Ivanka Antova, 20, of Heaton Road, Canterbury, said: "The experience of being involved in a project of this magnitude was fantastic. It gave me an idea of what journalism is all about and how politics is a major part of our lives."
Shelley, who is studying for a degree in Politics and Global Governance, said: "It has been a very exciting and interesting process that has helped develop my research skills and also the application of certain media studies procedures. I have enjoyed working with my fellow students as part of a team and we have created something we are very proud of."
Sarah Lieberman, a Politics Lecturer at Canterbury Christ Church University, said: "The partnership between the University and Kent TV is a result of the student's hard work and support for the University's 'Making Politics Matter' initiative. The students have worked tremendously hard and should be extremely proud of what she has achieved."
John McGhie, Editor of Kent TV, said: "Kent TV is a community internet station. It is therefore absolutely right that we work with the community and I'm delighted to say that Canterbury Christ Church students, as part of that community, have been fantastic to work with. They have been hard working, professional and good fun, and I hope that we can work with them again on future projects."
The project forms part of Canterbury Christ Church University's 'Making Politics Matter' initiative, set up by Dr David Bates and Sarah Lieberman, lecturers of the Politics degree programme.
As part of this initiative, the Politics degree programme invited local politicians, such as Damien Green MP and Sharon Bowles MEP, to discuss current political issues. Following on from these successes, 'Making Politics Matter' has increased in scope to include collaboration with Kent TV and Canterbury Christ Church University's Media Department.
The culmination of this collaborative housing project took place on October 27. A panel of experts viewed all three films and had the opportunity to respond and debate the issues raised.
This was filmed by Canterbury Christ Church University's Media students and Kent TV to produce an hour-long broadcast, to be shown on Kent TV. The panel of experts included council members and student representatives.
