Dear Mr Beatts
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a BTEC Media Student, currently researching into employment issues and opportunities within video editing and production. I would be very grateful if you could find the time to answer the following questions:

1. How did you start work in the area of video production?

2. What do you see as the challenges and opportunities of working in this area?

3. What advice would you give to someone starting out in this area?

Thank you again for your time, and looking forward to hearing back from you.

Summary:
What I feel about this research project: what went well; what was difficult.
I fell like finding the information was easy but putting the information in to my blogger
why easy to put in order.

After researching into the world of video production, I am still keen to be find work in video production and editing and this project has given me a good look into how to get started and what it would be like working in the industry.

Arts Award Leadership: Demonstrating Effective Leadership

Above is a discussion of how well I believe I carried out my leadership role for this project.

I have also discussed how well I was carrying out my part of the project at key stages.

Below are some screenshots from other people in my team talking about the editing of the trailer:

This is a screenshot from Gemma Connor's blog. Gemma was in charge of cameras for the project and she comments on the quality of the trailer.

This is also from Gemma's blog where she talks about how my trailer worked well.

 Here we have some comments from Courtney Fleming the director, where she has also used some screenshots from my trailer

This is part of the review from Kieren Dixon, the scriptwriter. Here he is not too keen on the trailer - but I think this is not about how well I did the editing, but just that he wanted his script to be made into a longer movie.

Reflection on how my Leadership Skills are developing:
I thought it has been going very well working as a member of the team, andI have been getting on with everyone. However, it does seem that the job of an editor is being taken for granted as everyone just expects you to have done the work almost immediately!

Arts Award Leadership: Producing the Project

The interview above discusses key stages in the production of the project. Below is a clip from the trailer being edited in the programme, I Movie.

Reflection on how my Leadership Skills are developing:

I am pleased with the way the movie has been turning out  and the results shown as both original footage and finished edited version are going to be put up on youtube.

The actual video turned out completely differently from what we had orignally in mind, due to limitations on time, available props, and aactors. However, I think I did a very good job with the footage that was given to me!

Arts Award Pathways

bbc newcastle

WE went on a visit to BBC Newcastle This allowed me the chance to see what it was like working in TV production and editing, which is what I am going to do this project about.

this is the news stodeo where  the news & wethr is shooot

this is the editing swet that thy use for the all tv shows sounds and music played. There seemed to be a lot of switches and buttons and it was hard to keep track of all the information that was being shown. However, I thought it was all very well laid out.

this the radio stashon where we spoc to one of the radio people

this when we had a go of  news , sport & wethery

• how do you begin finding work in this area?

You can try and find apprenticeships. The BBC have work experience apprenticeships and job opportunities in their area.

Job vacancies also sometimes become available in the BBC, but these will always ask for experience and/or qualifications

A lot of people start work in video as a runner, which means that you have to move between one area and another passing information and messages.

• what kind of qualifcations or experience do you need?
• You need to have good qualifications in English and Maths - at least to GCSE level - and specialist training to at least A Level or BTEC. A lot of people working in the BBC have started by going on from BTEC and A Levels to do degrees.

You keep training while on the job and often have to study for extra qualifications - like working with new computer systems, health and safety etc

• what are the typical working hours for this kind of job?
• A contracted job a BBC  is usually starting from 37 hours a week but 50 hours or more is sometimes needed when having to get work ready for a deadline.
• 
  
• BBC runs 24 hours a day - which means you can be asked to start a days work any time of day or night. The radio guy we spoke to may have to have stated at 4am that morning and will work through to 1 or 2pm.
