This is a short video I made about the Cambridge University Societies Fair, which takes place at the start of every new year. The purpose of the event is to involve students, particularly new arrivals (sometimes called Freshers) in the active extracurricular life at Cambridge. There is a wide variety of options, covering sports, politics, technology and religion, as well as many others. Regulation is very loose, allowing students to pursue their activities freely and provide outlets for almost any area of interest.
I filmed this to demonstrate what is possible even using the most basic of audio-visual technology – in this case the camera in my phone! The picture quality and sound are not going to win an award at Cannes, but the film still shows an interesting part of student life.
When we launch on November 19th, you will be able to upload your own videos about student life– whether you’re using the most expensive broadcast-quality equipment, or just your mobile phone. Your inventiveness and imagination have no limits, so share them with us!
