Welcome information

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

“This is Me” 

• 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. Portrait or landscape is fine. 

• Only share things you'd be happy for your Course Tutors/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 your video to Gurinder Hatchard: G.hatchard@rave.ac.uk by 7.00pm, Sunday 17 September or bring it with you to Welcome Week. You might find it best to use a Wetransfer or GoogleDrive/OneDrive link.
