We had a fascinating lecture today with Sophie Chalk from
One World Media who was encouraging us to get involved with making documentary films in developing countries. This was an incredible insight into the sheer amount of planing and production management that it takes to go into somewhere like Afghanistan with a camera. Also Sophie gave us some advise on job hunting and networking which I thought would be interesting to post here so in a years time I can look back and remember a less stressful time!
- Research broadcasters and independent companies and watch the films they have made.
- Produce a taster tape with contact details and skills on the cover of the disc.
- Work experience, production companies, post production houses, facilities companies, anywhere!
- Build relationships in the industry, also look out for a mentor
- Be persistent, send letters (not emails) every week and pester with phone calls!
Lets see how it goes!
