About me

I am currently looking for production companies for work experience and running opportunities. I have just finished my second year at the University of Central Lancashire studying television production and I am now looking for some hands on experience with a live working production whilst I am at home in London over the summer.

I have a strong passion for the industry and hope you can offer me the chance to see what it really takes to get a production up and running. I thrive on my practical modules in our TV studio set up. Recently I was selected out my whole year group to help the second years in their upcoming modules. In this module I will develop my teaching skills and gain a better understanding of the studio equipment.

I recently did some work experience with the ADI group who film for liverpoolfc.tv, it was a really fun experience and I was able to get involved with the floor managing and autocue. I observed the camera work and how the show came together throughout the day. I hope that if you offer me a place for work experience I can further my knowledge to a greater extent.

Through my course I have gained the basic knowledge needed to know what is involved with a live production as well as on location shooting. I have worked at my universities studio as a producer and director as well as camera operator, lights, racks, sound and vision mixing. Through my modules involving live camera work I have been enticed by the pleasure of this fast paced, hard pressure job. On another of my modules I was given the task to produce a project that would last anything from five to fifteen minutes, this I really loved. productions which I really love. Last year I produced a ten minute documentary on the rise in crime rate in Preston. This was really interesting as I had to research and explore the reasons for the rise and what was being done to reduce it. This was very satisfying to produce with my team. Our last project was in animation which was a new departure for me and my team.

I feel that if you are willing to offer me a chance to come and see the set up of a working production that I will be able to take away the knowledge and experience of working in a professional environment with me.

I will be free any time over the summer if you are so kind as to offer me a place. I know that your time is precious and you have many applicants applying for work experience but I am determined to break into the industry and with the help of yourself I will be given the chance to take that step closer to my ideal job.

Many thanks
