Ever watched MTV and wondered what it would be like to work on or actually be in a music video?
Now here’s your chance to experience first hand what it takes to work in the music or media industries with this fantastic new project ‘MAKE IT’!
Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Councils Cultural Services are currently looking for around 12 young people aged 14 – 19 from Rhondda Cynon Taff, who have a flare for media and two local bands or singer songwriters, to take part in a music video project.
We encourage Welsh and English speakers to become involved in the MAKE IT initiative.
On the media side you will work as a team to plan, script, film and edit one of the bands/ artists songs to create a pop video, taking on the roles of scriptwriting, directing, producing or working on camera for instance. We would be interested to hear if you have a preference in a particular area such as those listed above.
If you are the band/ singer songwriter chosen you will have the opportunity to star in your own music video as well as contribute your ideas to the media team.
Ideally,you should be available to attend four evening development sessions during January and February these being Tuesday 15th January, Tues 22nd Jan, Tues 29th Jan and Tues 5th Feb from 6 – 9 pm.
You MUST be available for the whole of half term ( Monday 11th - Saturday 16th February 2008).
