What a night! For the first time since 2019, the Media Studies department was able to hold its annual Oscars evening. As we walked across the red carpet and took our seats, Media students, friends and family were gathered to watch the Y12 narrative music videos and Y13 short film nominations.
Although not all films were showcased on the night, I can honestly say that every Media Studies student worked extremely hard.
I’m sure we all had our fair share of technical difficulties, and thanks to the Media Studies teachers and Dan, we overcame them without having heart attacks! After viewing all nominations, there was an awards ceremony where the winners of different categories were handed certificates.
There were awards for categories such as best cinematography, best storyline, and best editing.
The winners of the best Y12 narrative music video and best Y13 short film were as follows:
- Best Y12 Narrative Music Video: ‘Heather’, by Kirsten Abustan, Sophia Armonia, and Maia Chhour (pictured top).
- Best Y13 Short Film: ‘Awaken’, by Yena Kim, Noelle Nayon and Francine Rosales (pictured above – Francine was away).
Once again, thank you very much to all the Media Studies teachers for organising such a special event. It was definitely a memorable evening.
