  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I spent a week working at Gems TV where I would perform different roles from camera to floor managing. It was all live TV, so being a camera operator was my favourite role. It was also really informal, since the presenters would often talk to you when you were behind the camera (live on air!)
