now create promotional videos to showcase their events, societies,
activities and projects. Students can also use the new equipment
to make films which will enhance their applications for awards and
grants and record their Keele experience.
The new video and camera equipment will enable KeeleSU
societies and clubs to better engage and interact with fellow
students, promote events such as Society Sign-Up and produce
training videos for students involved in co-curricular activities.
The videos produced were especially useful for new students
before arrival and during Welcome Week. KeeleSU Activities set
up a video and photo booth for the Welcome to Britain event
and international students were invited to talk about their first
impressions of Keele and aspirations for the future in front of a
green screen. They will be able to see their films later in their Keele
experience to see whether their plans and views have changed.

student volunteer has been recruited as a Media Assistant

and student films. The next big project
