Ravensbourne News Team Adopts FORscene

Forbidden Technologies is driving news journalism at 'Rave On Air', the end of year student showcase at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communications.
This annual event transforms the college into a broadcasting house for the benefit of prospective students and industry attendees. Throughout the two-day event, a news team used FORscene's web-based editing and publishing suite to quickly turn around content for a citizen journalism website and a slot on a broadcast channel.
The news team, comprising of third-year broadcast students, filmed stories on their mobile phones, including on-location shooting in London during the event. The footage taken was uploaded over the air or via PC and Mac into FORscene for editing, and was then published to the web and as a podcast.
Stephen Streater, CEO at Forbidden, said: "There is currently a great debate over the technologies being taught to broadcast students in higher-education facilities. Rave On Air is an excellent example of how an institution can embrace both traditional and modern technologies, equipping its graduates with the wide-ranging skills needed to excel in the industry. We are delighted to be involved with such a forward-thinking initiative."
