BRADFORD College representatives, including BA Media Make-Up and BA Fashion students have been showcasing their skills and featuring as extras in two special videos launching Bradford City kits.

Speaking on behalf of Bradford College, Nicky Betteridge (Senior Business Development Officer), said: “This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to gain experience as part of such an exciting project.

“It’s something they can add to their CV, which looks appealing to potential employers. We’d like to thank Bradford City for the opportunity for our students to work on such a unique project. Both the students and staff involved have thoroughly enjoyed their experience.”

First up, in May students travelled to to Sammy’s Cocktail Bar in Manchester to film a 1970s-themed video called It’s a Retro Thing.

Then, 10 days later, they worked on a video for the home kit at Marley Sports Centre in Keighley.

This time, a team of Bradford College extras took on a Bradford City players’ five-a-side team for a video and project, titled Paint It Claret & Amber.

Higher Level College students engaged in key roles across both shoots, executing these to a tee.

BA Media Make-Up students were responsible for player and actor make-up looks matching the video themes, while BA Fashion students had their own unique brief of sourcing Seventies inspired clothing to feature in filming.

Media Make-Up student Ella Whitehead said of her experience: “The days were a success and everyone pulled together to do their bit excellently.

“I was glad to be part of such a lovely experience and I feel honoured to have been chosen by Bradford College staff to participate. I have gained lots of valuable experience as a student make-up artist and had a taste of what the industry is really like to work in.”
