Your remote sessions will take place via Microsoft Teams, which is the platform the University uses for remote communication. There is an optional question and answer (Q&A) session at the start of the day followed by two key sessions:
10:00–10:30: Q&A session. This is an optional session open to both candidates and parents/guardians.
10:30–11:15: Online workshop. All candidates are required to attend the online workshop.
12:30–14:15: Individual remote interviews. All candidates are required to attend an individual remote interview.
You don’t need to prepare anything for the workshop.
For the one-to-one chat, please be prepared to talk about a piece of film, online theatre or television that you have seen recently. You should be able to talk in detail about one scene or moment you found interesting, with a focus on the storytelling and the creative choices made (such as camerawork, editing, sound, lighting, staging, performance style, as appropriate).
Shortly before your interview day, you will receive an email from the Department with details of how to log on for your sessions.
If you have any other queries before the interview day, please contact admissionssupport@reading.ac.uk.
