New Talent Placement Scheme

LoveLove Films’ work placement has given me a true insight into what working in the world of media production is really like. Unlike most work placements in this industry the team have you  and shadowing senior team members, rather than being just a glorified tea boy. I’ve never felt that I am just on placement here, but rather the team of friendly and welcoming professionals have made me feel like one of them, and that the  research that I have done here, is important to them and Lovelove Films.

I believe that the immersive experience that LoveLove Films have provided me with will certainly help me with obtaining future employment, not just through the skills that I have learned and developed here, but also through the connections that I have made with the team and the ones they have with the professional industry. It has been a pleasure working with them and all of the professionals that make up the team.

Work experience is often considered as just a way of ticking a box on a university application or CV. It usually comprises of a series of menial tasks given to occupy you by an unenthusiastic employer. My experience at LoveLove was completely different.

First of all, the whole team made me feel so welcome and took an active interest in my aspirations for a career in the film industry. I felt comfortable enough to ask for help and advice on projects I was currently working on outside of the placement and received some extremely helpful insight and tips (thanks Steve).

Concerning the placement tasks  I was given, I felt as if I was really offered tasks that was helpful to the team and was relevant experience for my future career, helping and shadowing team members  learning about shot lists, how to research potential clients and even going to a recording studio to observe a podcast series  being made.  Despite being only seventeen, I was offered the chance to help out on real projects and make a real difference.

I would really like to thank everyone at LoveLove, including Snowy of course, for making my placement with them really worth while and dare I say it, fun.

Interning at LoveLove Films has been an extremely fruitful experience; you are involved in the everyday operations of an independent production company from day one. It’s a great place to learn on the go! LoveLove Films’ truly value their interns and placement students, encouraging them to contribute at every level of production.

I did my work placement at LoveLove for two weeks and it has been a great experience for me. I did a variety of tasks such as being a runner, researching. My fondest experience of placement with the Love Love team will be the shoot in Cornwall that I attended. It was a great chance for me to see what working with a client was like and is something that I can take with me and use in the future. LoveLove films is a great opportunity and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a media, film or animation career.

The time I spent with LoveLove Films went by in a flash! By the time it was my last day, I felt it was still the first week. Every day with LoveLove I felt that the tasks I was learning and doing was of importance to the team and that I was shadowing and contributing to their great projects.

During my two week placement with LoveLove, every day there was something for me to do, being taught and experiementing with screenshots of finished projects in Photoshop, performing research  and even being given a fun placement task of  designing, filming and editing a stop motion with my fellow interns for Mothers Day which meant I really did learn and get hands on.

By the end of the placement, I had learned real world experiences, all while still at university and have since been able to apply what I learnt on my course. It was a real pleasure to have  been with the people at LoveLove Films and I’m sure future interns will say the same. Thank you again!

Work Experience with LoveLove Films provided me with a great insight into the media industry and how an independent company operates. Offering me a wide range of opportunities to extend my academic and professional skills.  I thoroughly enjoyed my placement, and it enabled me to focus on improving necessary skills needed within the media industry. I had and still have great support from the company, and was able to do my placement  with flexible hours around my other commitments. I am extremely grateful for what I learnt from this inspiring company, and would jump at the chance of returning.
