BASIC MEDIA TRAINING

This is our most popular media training module and can be delivered to one to two participants in a half day session or to four to six participants in a full day workshop.

With either module we can deliver with just a main trainer or (for optimum results) with two trainers to put each participant through different interviewing styles. Your budget will perhaps determine which team you'd prefer.

Either way there is also a camera operator and equipment supplied as we record each simulated interview on video. Participants can view these interviews as press, radio, TV or internet but we always critique them from TV down as this is the hardest to handle. This method ensures each client gets the most out of our training.

Our critiques are delivered firmly but compassionately. One of the reasons organisations use external media training suppliers like Kelly Communications is that we are able to be more honest in our appraisals than internal media advisers are likely to be, particulary with senior executives.

Either the half day or full day session starts with our full multi-media theory presentation that provides participants with a broad understanding of how the various arms of the media operate (press, TV, radio and internet). This presentation is always kept up to date with topical examples that underscore the key media training points being delivered and discussed.

We then record very realistic, simulated media interviews and critique each one with the following points kept in mind, among others:

 Content

 Sticking to your agenda

 Maintaining company policy

 Length of answers

 Presentation

 Eye contact

 Voice light and shade and passion

 Posture

 Facial and body movement
