CBC and VFS Field Trip

For the New Media class on February 21, 2025, we went on a very helpful field trip. This trip showed and taught us how the CBC works. Also, we visited the Vancouver Film School to learn more about different types of new media. During this field trip, we explored many aspects of new media and broadcasting. The first place we visited was CBC. When we arrived, we split into two groups. The first group went inside the building to start the tour, while the second group went to get breakfast. There was a guide who helped the students learn more about the place. In the first part of the tour, we visited a huge office where many people worked together to produce news for the entire city. In the second part, they showed us how the cameras operate and how live news broadcasts work. They explained that all the cameras used for recording do not require a cameraman. Instead, they are controlled remotely to move, change angles, record, or pause. Each camera has a screen that helps the reporter read the news by looking directly at the camera. The most exciting part of this visit was the live radio recording section. There was a dedicated room for this, equipped with two cameras, four or five microphones, and two screens. There was also a control room where everything was managed. The second place we visited was VFS (Vancouver Film School). This place was my favorite because I enjoy making movies and doing creative work. At VFS, they explained the purpose of the school and how they help students achieve their career goals. They also showed us the many opportunities available for students or anyone interested in this field. We toured the entire building and learned how movies, games, and films are created. This field trip was one of my favorites. I had the opportunity to learn more about broadcasting. I also gained a better understanding of different types of new media.
