So all of last week I got given some work experience from my college to SDMC Productions a media company in the centre of Manchester. At first I was a bit nervous and did not know what to expect for the week and what they wanted me to do. They through me into the deep end and put me straight into a research job for the company, which entails finding contacts for upcoming documentary’s or T.V shows they may be working on to get more people involved in there project. I enjoyed this job and felt a part of the team right away.
They were all very nice and by Wednesday I was very comfortable around the people working there and begin to know most of everyone’s names. I managed to get them a big name contact for the documentary on Legal Highs which they are in the process of making at the moment.
As the week came to a close I made some friends and enjoyed the experience as a whole, I think it has helped my confidence in certain situations like answering the phone and speaking to new people. Some days I got to go out filming around Manchester and practising with all their equipment filming cutaways which will be in any future projects they might make. I have kept in contact with the company and would not mind working on a project or doing more work experience for them in the future.
