Overview
Each day was different, and at each placement, I would be in a new department. Some days I was editing the golf. Some days I would be logging shows from the 90s, and some days I would be reading scripts and giving my thoughts on whether or not they would make a good show.
Skills
I have learned many new skills in the film, TV, and news spheres. I have a realistic idea of how a show or film would go through its entire creation and the number of people it takes to get there. Being in a constantly collaborative environment has massively improved my general confidence and my ability to speak to people.
Responsibilities
I was given different amounts of responsibility. It wouldn't be uncommon for me to just sit and listen for a week rather than do work, but at the same time, this helped with general growth and meant that the next week I could input something useful. On the other hand, I was tasked with editing the golf, and I have a lot of editing experience, which helped. The golf would then be broadcast live on TV.
Support & Guidance
Every team and department I worked in generously gave me so much of their time to walk through tasks with me and answer any questions I had.
Culture
Everyone I met through the company was incredibly welcoming and friendly, took into account that it was my first year in this industry, and accommodated me to that level.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my traineeship and thought it was an incredible opportunity. I learnt so much about the field I want to go into and the many different pathways to get there.
Yes
To keep an open mind about your experiences and just try anything when you are beginning your career.
