The past few weeks have flown by, from finishing up at MediaCityUK with the Religion and Ethics Docs
team, it was straight back to London for more training. I was so excited to
come back to see all the apprentices who I haven’t seen in 3 months. However,
it was as though we have never been apart as we were back to our usual selves,
meeting at Starbucks in the morning and walking to Elstree together and having
a laugh. The first day of training consisted of catching up with everyone and
what they had been up to on their placements. It was really great to hear all
the different responsibilities the apprentices were set whilst working with
productions. The best thing about each person was that we were all treated as a
member of the BBC and not just an apprentice.
Once the catch up was finished,
it was time to knuckle down and start planning our Taster Tapes. As being on the Production Co-ordinator
scheme, it was my job and 3 others to take on the role as PC’s. I thoroughly
enjoyed this as we worked closely together as a team, shared the workload
between us and got on extremely well with each other. It was really interesting
to see how each PC worked on their placement, by comparing call sheets,
schedules and exchanging our ever growing knowledge of the PC world (this
sounds so geeky). Over the past 2 weeks we have worked hard in order for the
filming of the taster tape to run efficiently and smoothly and our work paid
off as the 2 filming days were a success. Working closely alongside the CDM’s
(Creative Digital Media Scheme) was amazing. They are the most creative and
talented people I have ever come across and their ideas are unbelievable.
Without their skills and creative minds we wouldn't have been able to produce
such a professional and well thought out taster tape.
After having 2 weeks of training,
I'm looking forward to getting back into work and having a routine. My next
placement is at ITV Studios working with the ‘Potato’ department on a
production called Fearne and… (Yes another Fearne) where I will be the
Production Secretary. This programme is going to be an hour long all about
McBusted. I'm really looking forward to seeing the programme from start to
finish which will hopefully be a great success.
I'm over the moon that my
placement is in London and that I will be able to live by myself and become
more independent. I'm looking forward to being able to explore the beautiful
city and hopefully meeting more talented and inspirational people on the way. I
also love the fact that all the apprentices are in London (minus my sister
Laila #missyou), so we can easily meet up and not have wait 3 months in order
to reunite.
I'm living my dream and cannot
wait to see what the next 3 months will hold.
Stay Fabulous,
B
