A YOUTH centre is running a course this summer to help young people learn the skills to make it in the media industry.

Northfleet Youth Centre in Hall Road is holding a video production course for 13 to 19-year-olds from August 9 to 13, with classes running between10am and 4pm.

Senior youth work practitioner Nigel Crocker says the programme is hands-on and ideal for people considering taking a media studies course at school or college.

He said: “You will learn how to use professional cameras, how to create lighting effects, how to edit your work on computer, and then spend two days working in a studio learning all the relevant jobs.”

For more information, or to reserve a place on the course, call the centre on 01474 351451.
