CBBC Experience
[SUMMARY—Work experience reflections.]
(GBR) So instead of heading off to university at the beginning of a very bleak January like the other poor souls I know, I got on packed train to West London every morning. BBC Television Centre to be more precise. I scored this placement after MediaSnackers took me up to Sheffield to the Showcomotion Children's Media Conference last July—that was a great but exhausting few days—not without it's rewards though: the 'digi-journos' got taught how to use filming equipment, how to blog and I think most importantly, we learnt loads of things about 'the industry'. The Mediasnackers team bumped into lots cool, funky media types, most cool and funky of them all being Joe Mace, Head of Entertainment and Development at CBBC. He loved our work at the conference so much, he ended up offering placements to those who wanted them at CBBC itself! So I grabbed this opportunity with both hands. I'd be crazy if I hadn't.
