Life in the media industry incursion
Certificate II Film and Photography Incursion
Last Tuesday Year 11 and 12 Film and Photography students were lucky enough to have Carl Beyboer from GEO Media Interactive (GMi), talk to them about life working in the Media Industry. Carl is the Owner, Production Manager and Senior Editor at GMi, which was one of the first independent professional video production houses in Bunbury and which has had work broadcast on every Australian network, as well as around the world. Carl started his career in the Media at Channel 9 in the 1980s and has seen a lot change since then! His insights into how best students can equip themselves for a career in the Media were invaluable and it was a great opportunity for students to ask questions to gain an insight into the industry.
