The purpose of this blog is the give the readers an insight into the television industry. In my entries I will be letting you know what productions I am working on and what I've learnt. As a lot of my time is spent in development I can't always explain what I'm doing (don't want anyone stealing our ideas), but I will try my hardest to give you, the reader, a detailed insight into the world of TV. On the 4th of January 2010 I joined Flame Television Productions. Within my time here I have had the opportunity to work on BBC daytime productions such as Don't Get Done Get Dom series 4 and I am currently working on another which I can't go into detail about just yet. I started my time working in development and coming up with ideas to pitch to channels such as BBC, ITV and Channel 5.
When working in development I think the most important thing to remember is to be fearless, if you think your idea is lacking in imagination or focus don't worry, the whole point of being part of a team is to bounce ideas off each other. At my first brainstorm meeting I went in with an idea all worked out but by the time I left we had refocused it in a different direction but it turned out much better than I ever could have thought so be open to change and speak your mind.
I have to cut this blog short as I am getting the office ready for the new production starting on Monday. Exciting!
Hope you enjoyed my first blog, more to come from the rest of the Cascade trainees (don't worry they write better than I do) in the coming weeks.
Bye for now
