Work Experience

There are a lot of opportunities for experience doing running for a production within the industry which is great as it can give to be recognised however specifically for a camera operator role there are a few major chances for work experience. One being the BBC work experience programme.

This is a particularly good programme as it not only does the obvious and gives you links into one of the most highly respected broadcasting companies to date but the Placement Manager within the programme listens to what you want to gain from it and plans your programme around you rather than everyone just following a standard timetable, this means you will learn more relatable skills and your experience will be the most effect for you personally as it can be.

Although less specific towards camera operating and more about just getting into the TV industry, The Network is an amazing chance to build up broadcasting contacts because of its connection to the Edinburgh international television network festival. It helps new talent connect to those who are already well established in the industry and therefore learn from them to add to their own ideals.
