Welcome information

During your First Week we’ll be getting to know each other. We’d love you to introduce yourselves with your own digital content.  

This is Me - Introduction Video 

Create a short video (under a minute) to introduce yourself to your classmates.  Your first name must be included somewhere in the video. 

• This isn't marked, so don't aim for perfection with your filming and editing.  A video edited on your phone using reels/tiktok is fine. 

• It’s up to you whether it’s portrait or landscape.  

• Only share things you'd be happy for your course team/classmates to see. This video will only be viewed within your class and not shared wider than this. 

• It's up to you to choose the style and format. You can talk throughout or, you don't have to speak at all - it can just be a montage with music. 

• Suggestions for things to include: where you're from, hobbies, favourite foods, people or places, a montage of pics from your camera roll, interests, pets etc.  

• Make it as creative/silly as you like! 

Please send the video before Sunday 14 September to [email protected]. You might find it best to use a Wetransfer or GoogleDrive/OneDrive link.  Really looking forward to what you come up with!
