Watch now - Making the Magic: From Story to Screen

To celebrate National Careers Week, 大象传媒 Teach is bringing you something magical鈥

大象传媒 Teach partnered with the Wizarding World to offer students in the UK an introduction to the myriad of roles and careers available on a film production in this exciting interactive lesson.

Aimed at inspiring students of all ages and introducing them to a range of potential careers within the film industry, this panel discussion links curriculum to the world of work and makes learning come to life.

Taking place inside the iconic Great Hall at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter, award-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar and 大象传媒 Radio 1's Katie Thistleton were joined by industry professionals who have worked on the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, including:

  • BAFTA and Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood
  • Graphic designer Miraphora Mina
  • Visual effects supervisor Christian Manz

The experts gave an insight into their careers by answering questions from a live audience as well as questions submitted by schools. The information provided in this interactive lesson will:

  • introduce students to the world of work and the film industry
  • investigate the roles on the films and their main responsibilities
  • highlight the key skills needed for each role and the opportunities that are available.

Supporting articles and resources are available on 大象传媒 Bitesize, allowing your students to look further into any careers in film that interest them.

Please note that we are no longer reviewing emails and messages from schools for inclusion in the programme.
