Learning Insights from Media Production and Media Literacy group
Media Literacy aimed to provide a fundamental learning in the different areas of Mass Media and
production. Eight students from School of Liberal studies opted for the MPML program and had an
enriching experience in learning vast elements of the Media Production. The students worked in
various areas within these 4 weeks. From cameras to studios, from writing a script to shooting a
lm, from pre-production to post production, the students enjoyed every bit of what they were
taught.
