Student Input into Town’s Museum
Budding film-maker Waqar Shah is being
invited to have an input into Doncaster Museum’s upcoming
displays.
Waqar, 18, of Hyde Park, Doncaster, is
currently studying the First Diploma in Media at Doncaster College
and alerted the Museum’s curators after completing a piece of
coursework for them earlier in the year.
With the help of fellow students, Waqar
produced a short promotional film for the Museum – and Museum
officials liked it so much they have asked for his advice on
interactive displays.
He said: “I’ve already met with people at the
Museum and they’ve asked me to go back and see them again. It feels
really good to be asked what I think and to give my opinion on
displays. It’s really interesting.
“I would love to be a film director but I know
there’s a long way to go for that to happen. My course is great and
it’s really helping me.”
Doncaster College runs media courses from its
Hub campus. Further details can be obtained by calling 0800 358
