Feedback lesson: Group post

As a group we asked for peer feedback regarding our website and opening sequence. The peer feedback age range of 17-18 was a ideal due to our news channel targeting students who are digital natives so what they like and dislike will be a key reflection on the attitudes towards the student news channel if it was live.

We have been working on our script for our news report, (but this is still being planned and isn't the finalized copy!) We're still not sure on how long each clip will be as we've started the editing stage of the report. Student News – Script Is there enough mental health support for students within universities? Start - talking about partying and student life (have montage of shots with students partying) Hi, I’m Lucy Hopeton and this is Student Talk News. Today we are discussing mental health issues in universities and answering the question, is there enough mental health support and resources for students? Cue shots of universities. As over half a million students started university in 2017 in the UK alone, we have seen a rise in the number of students developing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety disorders. Due to crippling debts, competitive job markets and the uncertainty of prospects after university, there is a tremendous amoun...
