新聞與傳播學系於5月16日舉行「新傳劇作2022-2023戲劇作品放映交流會」，透過展出四年級生的畢業作品及三年級生的精選製作，以互相分享與交流，藉此探索香港電影電視劇作的新路向。

當日放映交流會邀請了新傳系高級講師、香港電影金像獎最佳導演的黃偉傑先生；香港電影金像獎最佳編劇麥天樞先生及香港電影金像獎新晉導演何爵天先生擔任客席嘉賓。

黃偉傑先生在交流環節時指出，學生作品題材往往以日常所面對事情為主，近年學生作品主要圍繞「離開、留下」議題，以及愛情類這些自身熟悉的題材，惟作品除了題材，更重要是能引起共鳴，以生活所知所遇為題，從而表達對現實的無力感或憧憬。

麥天樞先生則分享了他在構思故事時的經驗。他以有「職業病」形容自己，在觀看同學作品時會經常思考如何更好地表達故事，「在面對憂鬱傷感情節應如何增加對該人物的描寫，以增加故事性，但礙於學生經驗尚淺，作品在人物關係的描述的表述未夠完整。」他建議學生應減少留白，著筆於行動與交流方面。惟他指出這並非一個絕對的概念，因為戲劇不單只是在說故事，更多是在表現整個氛圍，讓觀眾沉醉其中。

何爵天先生亦鼓勵欠缺製作成本的學生多發揮想像力，「如巴士的場景不只停留於座位，樓梯、上、下層車廂、車頭、車尾等都是不同的場景，多善用不同的場景能令作品更豐富。」他又以近日重新上映的80年代電影《烈火青春》，有幕電車上走動的場面，展示如何透過車廂內的乘客充分善用一個場景，鼓勵學生多嘗試在同一個場地中拍攝不同的場景。

三位客席嘉賓亦喜見學生們的作品，戲劇的創作靈感大多建基於交流，他們均期望學生能堅持創作。
