Work Experience

This coming Friday myself and a couple of other students took the opportunity of being part of some work experience outside of uni. The offer came around through an email from one of our lecturers, outlining that we would be required to shoot some footage of a charity festival being held at preston farm on 20/04/18. I jumped at the opportunity to be part of this for a few reasons. The first being that admittedly in the past I have lost out to work experience due to the demands of having an actual job that requires my time when I'm not at University. The second reason being that at present my involvement with GMTL requires us to continuously work toward creating a portfolio in the form of a client based showreel. This way we can show potential clients our skills in advertising and in creating striking imagery. These are the kinds of things we need to be doing frequently to bolster our showreel and our position as emerging professionals. 

I will be camera operating on the shoot alongside another camera operator, and a sound operator. This way we can work as a team to get the shots we need whilst also working independently with our own equipment. This is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate professionalism amongst the public and amongst potential future clients.
