Well to ring in the changes, in Devon that is not Cornwall , our course was fortunate enough to take part in a ‘Plymouth-Media Partnership’ event at the FootAnstey building in Sutton Harbour
I was very appreciative of the trip for two reasons
1) The FootAnstey building was beautifully furnished, suited and booted also there were biscuits, water and hot drinks on arrival; very good hosts would go there again in a heartbeat!
2) The UKTV commissioning editor, Shirani Sabaratnam was an excellent speaker, very friendly, open to questions and succinct. We were provided with the specifications for programmes for channels such as Yesterday, Dave and Good Food in 2012/14. Also, and more critically she went through some of the process for getting programmes commissioned and the best way for independent production companies to get their ideas heard and well received.
So thank you very much again to our course leader Mel Mackie, it is so important that we are getting out there and meeting people in industry rather than sheltering in the university bubble; pop for jobs please!
