During the summer break between second and final year of the MPS course I lined myself up with a few work placements to add to my CV for when I graduate next year. One placement was set up the university and my course and the other three I found in my own time. Being on easch placement allowed me to get a good feel of how people work in the media industry and I gained quite a bit of experience in a number of different areas.
My first placement was with HURRICANE FILMS, which lasted about 6 weeks. My role was as a production runner which led to me to carrying out small tasks such as helping wityh things in the head office in liverpool city centre, as well as doing my own bit of filming in the city for a project on their online site. I carried on with the internship until I decided to leave mid-July, due to starting further placements in liverpool.
After leaving hurricane I started a week placement in LIME PICTURES in liverpool, with the help of an interview set up by my course tutor. At lime i really enjoyed working as a camera assistant for the majority of the week, whilstm eeting a lot of new people there who were good to work with. I started the week as a 3rd AD (Assistant Director) but then relealised that there wasn't a massive responsiblity or work for me here, as I was ltiterally just shadowing the 3rd AD, which left me with a lot of astanding around watchign the scenes on Hollyoaks. I decided that camera work would have more work for me, so spoke to a camera assistant before carrying on with the cameras for the remainder of the week.
