It's all bout the layout , colour , images how there going to be positioned , text as well and other stuff as well. It be good to write you're own articles about the latest gossip or whatever.It be good to get you're work published out there for the public to read.

Depending on the editor they could make it out more than it needs to be . The editor will have to justify it with their people first before it is broadcasted and published out into the world .The editors (photographers) have to get permission from the person before they take a picture . Journalist's they must not intimidate or harass the person, if they want to decline on the situation. If they are asked to leave  they should do so immediately without question.

They run a variety of activities and services . BFI has a database where you can type into the search bar about the history , the different types of film companies.

With this you don't need a degree you just need a portfolio and dedication to show you're skills. 






Free Lance Work:


Most of  video /film editors today are employed on freelance basics where they are working on a short term contract.  Editors may work on different variety's on post production so programs , films , music and advertising etc . The final stage of  the process requires to have skills produced online who is working in specialist post production . The editors  are responsible for their final product, the required specifications that are needed . The skills required will be colouring ,special effects  and footage to a finish film production whether it is online or offline. Freelances in the other stages look at their equipment and they may extend their skills into camera or sound work to keep them employed to get some contacts . For freelances career  you can make money from home if you're self-employed by editing you're own work and then publishing it . They always start off from a small production then it soon reaches to big projects . It's always good  to have  a good relationship with directors ,editors and production managers.

Here I have looked at the Prospects website to find out the information on the job description and  the work activities that you must be able to do within the job. This is a good website for finding a career that you want to take on in your life .









Here I have used the film/video of what the job description is . A film/video is an editor can take more than one role when becoming a editor for film /video so for e.g broadcasting ,TV operator , floor manager , runner , production assistant and film/video producer . They all work together on different floors within the company to work together on broadcasting a TV program, there's all these different elements that take place on center stage and behind the scenes.





This shows all  the different agencies that work around the UK , that gives skills on what to expect from the media industry. They help you with providing their skills to the test with helping you out in the media industry. The jobs will help you prepare yourself for the media industry.They all have the professional standards who will help you achieve what you want and will teach you to a successful career in being a professional film editor.

Hours vary depending on the production and may be standard office hours .Shift work may be involved if editing studios are booked at night. When there are deadlines to meet , long hours will be involved and overtime may be required .   

Code of Practice:

It must be accompanied by a recording report, editorially justified and complaint before delivery .The programs must be used with a HD Cam or a SR stereo . The program must be delivered to Reaps Reversioning unit .    
The programs should be made to the BBC'S obligations. You should take care when editing the final product.You need to make sure that you have edited it right into the right standards , once you send it for delivery that is it and it's then branding into the BBC so there's no going back . It needs to be in the right format Mov , before being signed off to delivery . It needs to be copied by the BBC Executive and signed off a form before it is delivered. It's always a good idea to have the script production list with the report .It can be useful to sub-tilers in advance as it helps with the submitting process. An accurate transmission form must be filled out so it ensures the correct program is transmitted from the right output area. The BBC handles loads of these so a thousand tapes a week . All the music and sound effects used in the programe must be reported  this will meet the agreement of the BBC with the copyright.

  • At the start of your work experience, take time to discuss with your supervisor what your interests are and what you would like to get out the placement
  • Be proactive and work hard on every task, however big or small
  • Talk to people working in other areas to broaden your understanding and experience
  • Where possible, make your supervisor aware of your skills and previous experience
  • Keep a copy of the work you have done while at the BBC, as this may be useful for your portfolio.  Always check there are no copyrights involved
  • Make sure you have researched the department/programme you are working on and get an understanding of the kind of work they do on a day-to-day basis
  • Whilst at the BBC take the opportunity to network and make connections with other employees
  • If possible, identify opportunities to see or get involved with a BBC production
  • Spare some time to talk to employees about how their own career paths have unfolded and what their role is in the BBC
  • If you don’t know what you are doing or you are feeling overwhelmed, don’t be afraid to ask for help from your supervisor or other team members
  • If you want to look for further opportunities in a full time job following your work experience, don’t forget to check the Careers website
  • Look out for training courses on the BBC intranet that you would find useful and ask your supervisor whether you can attend
  • Listen to and act on any feedback you receive from your supervisor
Free Lance Work:

Most people in the media industry work as free lances and run their own work as a small business. This means that business is done in you're own hands without a time limit . It focuses more on the carer you want to lead without being pressurized into getting the task done. You can set out you're own goals , you can get things done in you're own time as well as having a social life . But it can lead to a quiet life as you're working for yourself which can be quiet .With free lance you have a quieter life of people not telling you what to do because that can be stressful getting it done on a strict time limit . James Smith is a runner working on strictly come dancing over 2 years.When he first joined he wanted to be runner, he sent out 170 letters to two different production companies and the BBC got back to him first .A person from the BBC - Helen Bishop got back to him, she looked at his CV and put it out to Strictly. His ideal job would be floor manager ( Al Conley )"best floor manager" he said he works well with the crew and  the talent.





Here is the BBC website it shows you can apply to the BBC online . They offer 1,700 work experience a year , covering all the types of work they offer . You can easily search and apply for the job roles you're interested in .









Here I have looked at the Prospects website to find out the information on the job description and  the work activities that you must be able to do within the job. This is a good website for finding a career that you want to take on in your life . 








Here I have looked at a Runner /broadcasting film and video of what the job description is . A runner works with other teams with the floor manager , broadcast engineer , broadcast presenter , and television production assistant etc .









Here I have looked onto the Agency Central it shows the jobs of a runner in London with earning£20,000-25,000 a year . It depends on the growth of the client and what skills they have got to offer to the job . The job position is a job manager which works on the floor and as well as being a runner . They need to have a degree. You must be able to use Microsoft word , excel , power point and office . It be better if you had an interest in design.The jobs you will do are studio runner , answering phones from clients and other people , desk research , maintaining office supplies and etc .




Salary: /Hours:
A salary for a runner have increased a little bit over the past few years. The average starting salary for a runner is approximately £7-£8 per hour . Most of them are freelancers but are employed full time or on a short contact . The hours can be long as hell and unpredictable, often up to six days a week during the production . Broadcasting is 24 hours operation  and the working style reflect this . You may have to work nights , weekends and public holiday's . Film and TV shoots often want to make the most of the daylight for filming so early mornings and late nights are common occurrence .   


Code Of Practice:
You will have to obey what you're manager wants you to do . You have a role of keeping an eye of you're clients to make them feel at home, getting drinks, ordering food and etc . If you don't obey with these roles , if you turn really against it then that is going to look bad on the company and it won't look good on you either.You're manager won't be too impressed by you're actions, then deep consequences will have to made depending on what the situation is for e.g swearing , shouting at the clients- taking it out on them if you're having a bad day, you may be sacked from the job . This won't give a professional look at all , it could ruin their reputation as a company. I don't think you're team will be happy,so just get the job done and obey the rules on what you have been asked to do then you'll be fine .
