Just finished the first year of a post-graduate in 'Transmedia Storytelling', "Ooooh" I hear you say...well I'm now faced with being back at my parents house and looking for work whilst finishing of the previously mentioned post-grad during my next two years of write-up. To say the least I’m a little bit confuzzled.
Where am I going, what am I doing, what am I eating...OK the last bits hardly relevant but seeing as I posted that I'm considering cooking enchilada's tonight for myself and bros (2). I'm trying to get into video editing, contacting various post-production companies here in sweet old Cardiff and seeing if they'll take me in on a paid work placement so I can beef up my CV, gain some contacts instead of ending up in McDonald's serving chips. My bait is that Go Wales will offer the company a £90 contribution to my wage per week giving them cheap labor on a short-term contract.
Siiiiiimultaneously wanting to explore script writing which I'm more passionate about than editing but have a bit less practical experience with. I'm at a bit of a loss however as I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be going and every time I ask for directions I find myself a little further out at sea with no land in sight.
So what do I know so far?
- Post-Production/Editing companies don't seem to want to reply to me - I'll bug them on the phone next week!
- 'Script Reading' sounds like an avenue if I could only find something more local than London's Script Factory courses and perhaps some way to afford the fee!
- Script Writing is going to require me to actually write something and then find somebody who wants it. (Just found UK On Screen's Writing Forum that's listing requests for scripts)
I guess for now I'll keep up with the applications, keep on researching and try to remember I'm still doing a postgraduate. TTFN
