Recent Work Experience

From April 2013, over a five month period, I managed to secure a work experience placement with a Television Production company, Clearstory. Clearstory specialise in factual programmes, including their award-winning documentary, Gypsy Blood. As I have a keen interest in documentaries this was a very exciting opportunity for me.

I began working on two separate BBC programmes based on World War 1 and 2. This gave me increased experience in researching and assisting the production manager with call sheets and the managing directors expenses claims. I also assisted in transporting equipment to Germany for one of the film shoots. This gave me an insight into all the different roles of a production office and how each member relies on the others to make an effective production team.

Further to this, in July, I was given another opportunity to gain experience, this time as a runner on a factual studio show, Sex Box. As well as aiding the production team with the logistics of the show, I also met more experienced runners who both assisted and educated me on the role. I thoroughly enjoyed working on the studio production and do feel, as a result, this is an area I'd like to get more experience in.

Overall, I found my work experience with Clearstory both insightful and interesting; I would love to gain more experience in the industry, especially in factual production.
