Professional Practice: Placement (Renegade)

For the professional practice unit, we had the option to either complete a work placement or a commission project which we will have to feedback from and write a report about. This will be taking place alongside the Studio Production unit and will be graded. I decided that I wanted to do a work placement as I haven't had much industry experience and wanted to spend some time in a working environment. I felt like the commission option was a little too like what we have done for the other units on the course and so felt like the placement would be a better learning experience for me. I looked at the options that Laura showed us and was interested in Renegade and Twenty Twenty, both are production companies with offices based in London. I also researched other placements and found a work placement for the BBC, however they were advertising for April, May and June which wouldn't have been suitable timing for this unit. I have however, applied to do a work placement with them in my own time for extra experience.
I applied for Renegade and initially was told that there wasn't anything coming up soon that would be beneficial for me or the company to work from. Since then, they contacted me again with a couple of weeks experience starting from the 6th March. I won't be taking myself out of uni for the entire two weeks as I was unable to miss the sessions with Del and other meetings with Helen and Louis.
