Students from the University鈥檚 School of Arts and Creative Industries pooled their talents to produce 鈥楧ay of the Beds鈥� 鈥� a deadly day of horror and drama, with realistic zombies taking part in plays, sketches and television interviews.

The event involved approximately 55 students from multiple campuses, including a cast of Acting students from Bedford, who invaded the Luton campus to scare and delight their peers.

Talented Media Make-up students worked hard to turn the participating students into terrifying zombies, continuing to change their appearance throughout the day to coincide with the different scenarios.

Radio students were present at the 鈥榓pocalypse鈥� creating audio packages for Radio LaB, while Journalism students conducted live-reporting for Bedfordshire鈥檚 student magazine. Photography and Film Production students also busily captured the day鈥檚 events for BedsTV 鈥� the University鈥檚 dedicated TV channel, hosted on YouTube.

Rachel Clark, Senior Lecturer in Media Performance, facilitated the experiential day. She said:

鈥淪ome of the activity is for assessments, so we鈥檙e combining practical work within this immersive activity, however the main point of this experience is to collaborate and have fun!鈥�

Masters students were also involved in the activity, some of whom held an 鈥榠nterview鈥� with a zombie in Luton鈥檚 on-campus TV studio.

Rachel continued: 鈥淲e like to conduct a lot of cross-course and cross-campus collaborations, and to bring in recent graduates and alumni too, as it gives them a chance to offer advice to current students and continue to expand their personal development beyond getting their degree.鈥�

Dr Carlota Larrea, Head of the School of Culture & Communications, commented: 鈥淐ongratulations and a big round of applause to the students for all their hard work which they鈥檝e put into this experiential day. I know some of our students have spent many extra hours making this happen and their efforts have definitely paid off.

鈥淣ot only was it fun but it gave students some great 鈥榣ive action鈥� experience and showcased the variety of creative courses available here at the 亚色视频.鈥�
