The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland won four prizes, including the Factual and Drama categories, at the RTS Scotland Student Television Awards.
The Space I Occupy, which explores eating disorders, self-criticism and a woman’s relationship with her body, picked up the Factual award and also won its maker, Colleen Bell, the Craft Skills: Writing prize.
Sizzle – about an aspiring actor stuck in a loop of auditions and rejections, and tormented by his roommate, a purple rabbit called Rocko – took home the Drama prize. The Craft Skills: Production Design was awarded to Royal Conservatoire student Rachael Light.
Elsewhere, the Animation category was taken by Silvering, made by a team of students from the University of Edinburgh. This sinister film shows a woman, upon discovering a grey hair, becoming entangled in insecurity and fear for the future.
Nathan Clark, University of the West of Scotland, picked up the Comedy and Entertainment award for YouTube Editing is Like ’80s MTV, a visual investigation into the development of editing techniques.
STV presenter Laura Boyd hosted the ceremony, which was held at Saint Luke’s in Glasgow at the end of April.
