Work Based Learning- Duties

For my Work Based Learning I have been given many duties to perform including the following:

Keeping track of online media based activities- things including Twitter followers, Facebook 'likes' and the Facebook page, updating YouTube meta data and finding appropriate links for the Dreamtek website.

Being sound assistant for shoots- this was for a shoot Dreamtek were doing for an interview with the band The Killers. During this shoot I helped to sort out the set and cameras, fit lighting together and positioning in the correct places and holding the boom pole and making sure sound was good during the actual recording. I also helped de-rig the equipment at the end of the shoot.

Scouting locations- I have done lots of scouting for locations during my time at Dreamtek. This has involved doing lots of research, keeping in contact with companies about prices and dates and visiting locations to do recce's. 

Researching V/O artists and make- up artists- I have been given the job of finding a selection of make up artists and V/O artists for various shoots Dreamtek are working on. This involves going on to websites such as http://www.meetthejoneses.co.uk/ and http://www.mandy.com/

to find suitable talent in suitable locations who have a good level of experience.
