They received their brief from The Face, had introductory sessions on Storytelling, Kickstart roles, their group tutors, treatment writing and concepts for music videos, discussion on content creation and growth mindsets.
On Tuesday they had a briefing from The Face – the group were tasked with creating a visual love letter to their Britain.
On Wednesday the group were joined by brand, communications and creative strategist
Naana Orleans-Amissah for a Storytelling workshop. They then met their tutors Cieron Magat and Chantal Adams who will be guiding them through the process of answering the brief over the six weeks.
