We had a special guess come to the studios to teach us, Alex Boorman who is a camera operator and editor, he is here to teach us about the industry we want to join soon.
He went through his carer and how he got into media and how he landed his job.
This is his show reel to show some of the amazing stuff he has created in his couple of years.

From Alex teaching us I learnt a few things which was very useful to join the industry. I learnt that it good if you have your specific field you like but its better if you can do more than one things as he is a camera man and an editor, so where I couldn't decide whether to be producer or editor I now don't need to chose but to develop my skills in both fields so when I do join the industry I have more chance of getting a job.
Alex also helped me with my main problem for filming my fiction adaptation which is the POV and following the character with out all the camera shake as the camera has to be face high and be as steady as possible as no one wants to watch a shaky film so he suggested either a fig rig or a shoulder rig which should take out all the bounce from my hands.
Ales showed us all the films he has worked on as a camera man so we could get to see what sort of things a new film maker joining the industry would have to take on and his stuff wasn't as good as his stuff now but I feel that I could start at where he started even though I don't think I want to be a camera operator.
