Evan Pugh

Evan Pugh is a television director that has directed shows such a Big Brother, Love Island and I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Luckily we had a lecture by him and he told us loads about his director role and what he does in a typical day when on set. He based his talk on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and showed us lots of papers that he uses when shooting the latest series of the show. He gave us all a great insight in what he does before, during and after the show and by the sounds of it he doesn’t really have much of a break. He talked all about the role of a director and what he has learnt just through experience. I have always had an interest in the role of a director and think it is something that i would like to go into so this lecture was extra interesting for me in that sense. Evan Pugh made the role of a director sound fun and wants me to push more to get up my directing skills and show off what i can do at every opportunity now so that i get as much practise as i possibly can. He told us lots of stories that he has experienced just from being on set.

Talent Executive talk

This was a talk from the Talent Executive for the BBC Trine Adler. Adler has worked on many things but being the talent executive means that she is the one who finds the production team for the shows from entry level to all the way to the top. She told us how she chooses some people over the other people that apply and what she looks out for in a CV. I also learnt how much people learn on the job by actually doing it rather than just being taught it in a lecture. We got examples from her past experience of how people prosper the they get set with the actual task.

CV help

This talk was by someone in the television industry and she was informing us of what it is like and how to get in there. The main tips she gave across were for things to put and not to put on our CV’s and how to prepare for an interview and things to say in the interview and things not to say in the interview. This is probably one of the most important lecture that we have had from someone in the industry because she sort of prepared us for what it is like once you make it in the industry and how to get there. Even though i already have a CV now i know what i need to add to make more companies attracted to me from the information that i give them on my CV, especially aiming it towards the television and broadcast area. This lecture was really helpful and some day i hope that i can use the skills that i learnt and put them into practice when i have interviews further down the line when i am looking for a job.
