Colin Savage, an award winning programme creator and executive producer, treated us to an intense 2 day creativity workshop. Words cannot describe how fantastic these two days were. I learn more about the creativity process and pitching tips than I have done over the past 4 years at college and university. It was a fantastic experience, and so far has been the highlight of the course.

The day consisted of fun activities to try and open our minds and break down the barriers that may bloc creativity. As the day went on, all 9 of us began to really open up and the ideas and concepts we were pitching by the end of the day were fantastic. The next day, we were given a BBC brief, which we had to pitch by 4pm the same day! We had to pitch to the BBC using only pen and paper! Luckily, with a bit of creative thinking, we made it work quite well and believe it or not, we were chosen by both Colin and an esteemed panel of judges as the best group of the day! It just proves that fancy technology is one thing, but without the right content it is useless
