Kate's Day: A Day in the Life of a British Schoolgirl
11-year-old Kate is the subject of an English language lesson.
A scripted English language learning programme, following Kate Nettleton, an 11-year-old school girl from Downs Junior School in Brighton through a typical school day. Kate, a keen pianist, practices at the piano before school and learns synchronised swimming at the Prince Regent's pool in Brighton with her friends. The programme is then repeated, with titles on the second playthrough which highlight key words, phrases and actions as text on the screen.
A cohesive collection from Screen Archive South East representing the production history of a university production unit from 1977 to 2006.
This collection contains educational programmes created for classroom use as well as programmes and commercial narratives that were made on behalf of local businesses, organisations and the community.
Screen Archive South East has made available from across this collection, a total of eighty four programmes from a variety of obsolete open reel 1-inch tape, U-Matic and Betacam broadcast formats.
This cohesive collection represents the production history of a higher and further education based production unit, with content covering a wide range of subjects: teaching the arts and sciences, fashion shows and art exhibitions, early examples of video art and screen dance from the late 1970s to early 1980; documentaries on Sussex artists and a series of works on the institution’s commemorative and promotional history.
As such, the collection documents a particular regional community and its use of videotape technology over almost a thirty-year period.
The high production values in the work created by Media Services at Brighton Polytechnic later, the University of Brighton, was due to the team of independent film makers or ex-BBC technical and production staff, ensuring top quality programming for the time.
