Everything you ever wanted to know about working in media production but were afraid to ask!
Having completed my first two contracts within HETV, and a year-long directing course with Pinewood, I felt I had little knowledge but knew that I loved the industry and wanted more; I also knew that in reality, when you’re on a production, everything moves at breakneck speed and so no one, however much they might wish to, has time to be able to fill in the gaps.
This course gives you a fantastic knowledge across the very broad landscape of TV & film production, giving students access to world class industry professionals, who generously not only give you practical in-depth knowledge but also share their tried and tested industry hacks, hints, tips and even contacts.
The course provides you with a fun, safe and like-minded environment. I graduated feeling ten feet tall (when I started a mere 5’4”), and I felt like I had made 30 new friends from a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and with different skill sets. The course is packed with a combination of practical, creative, and group-based tasks as well as being filled with everyday hacks, management tools and guides on how to work effectively within the industry and run yourself as a business.
I now feel confident that I know where and how to hunt down my next contracts, with a clearer understanding of who I am and the direction in which I want to go. In short, I can’t recommend this course highly enough.
