Students from East Sussex College Hastings have used their film making skills to cover the 2019 General Election during a hustings held at the college’s Station Plaza campus.

The students, who study at the Ore Valley campus, honed their journalistic and film making skills to quiz one of Westminster’s biggest media performers, to gather content and footage for documentaries that they are currently making.

“I do a lot of Speedway photography at Arlington Stadium and I met Howard as he was filming some footage for his new movie. I have an interest in film making anyway, so we got chatting and I asked him if I could help out, and it took off from there.”

I really enjoy studying here and have learnt so much about creating digital media. The content of the course is varied, and most recently, I've been learning how to create, shoot, and edit a music video. I've learnt that I need to create a narrative and tell a story with the video. My tutor, Jake, has been excellent at explaining how to structure the film, making sure we have a beginning, middle, and an end.
