Week 5: Former student showcase

So far you’ve been finding out about the creative industries and thinking about
your potential route into it.
There’s more we need to consider but first let’s pause to find out what other
students have gone on to do.
On Teams you’ll find information about the following people.
 Jack Coathupe – camera operator
 Peter Whitcombe – crane operator
 Nathan Porter – lighting technician
 Conor Shutler – runner/researcher
Read through their stories and answer the following questions on your
Professional Practice web page:
 What do the four of them all have in common?
- They all started somewhere small.
- They did some volunteering work.
 Which of their tips or techniques could you use to find work experience
or start building your own portfolio?
- Do some small work then go from there.
- Look for work during college.
- If possible, do some voluntry work.
 What could you do THIS WEEK to kickstart this process (and then go
and do it!)?
