Inspiring Video Production and Marketing Work Experience at Shot Blast Media

Evelyn, a college student completing her A-levels, joined the Shot Blast Media team for a week of video production and marketing work experience in February 2023. Here’s her take on how her week went! My week at Shot Blast Media as a work experience student. Since studying film at A Level, I had developed an interest in filmmaking, especially pre-production and scriptwriting. I was very keen to find work experience with a more hands-on approach to filmmaking than my lectures at college, which teach primarily theory. At Shot Blast Media, I have had a great time being able to experience the process behind making corporate films and the detail that goes into every aspect. On my third day, the team set up a video call with one of their freelance scriptwriters, Deb Gilbert, which was incredibly insightful. I learnt about how both a creative mind and a logical point of view are needed when writing a concise and effective script for customers who only have a few seconds to get their words across. Deb told me it's all about having the right words and how to use them to your advantage. I've had a lot of fun learning how to assemble a camera and tripod. We also set up microphones and equipment for a podcast episode, only to find an issue with the microphone. Going back and forth across a set-up, talking gibberish into two microphones for a day to no avail wasn't quite how I imagined my day [...]

Starting Out in the Video Production Industry: An Interview with Byron Sheldon

Byron Sheldon has been a permanent employee of Shot Blast Media since the end of July last year. Before this, he freelanced with the business as a Camera Operator and Editor. In this interview with Byron, he discusses his entrance into the video production industry, how his university film course helped with this, and the exciting things he’s been working on since. When did you decide you wanted to work in the video production industry? I decided I wanted to work in the video production industry ever since I watched Star Wars at 12 years old and thought, ‘how did they make that film?’ I then started my ventures looking into behind the scenes videos of films, which is when I knew I wanted to be a part of that incredible industry. What did you study at university and how did this help you get into the industry? I studied Filmmaking at Leeds Beckett, the Northern Film School, and it helped me gain the skills I needed for jobs like this. However, the main thing that got me into working at Shot Blast Media was the connections I made at work and through university. Often in this industry, it’s who you know, not what you know. How did you find freelancing at Shot Blast Media? It was a fun experience and it gave me the opportunity to learn a lot! I worked with Ben, one of the Camera Operators, on the first job that I freelanced and I learnt [...]
