Runner
Asked by Happy Hour to assists on a TV commercial (Sun Life) working with Carol Vorderman and taking place in a small studio space provided by PYTCH in Brislington, Bristol. On this shoot I provide a lot of communication and logistic skills as well as providing first hand experience to younger individual student getting work experience on set to get started in the film industry. This shoot was extremely technical based. Despite being in a studio this one hosted a 13m wide by 3.5m LED screen made up of 2.8mm LED panels which was able to provide a video display of a moving shot though the streets of Leeds which was placed behind a black London cab. I did lean a lot of new skills and made as well as maintained a lot of good connections though different people working in departments.

Runner / marshal
I was asked to help assist a 1 day TV commercial shoot for 'My Diesel Claim' as a runner and marshal along side a couple other colleges from university. On this very cold morning I travelled to the shoot up in Chatfield at the site of a pup station which was closed for the shoot fore the whole day. On this production shoot I was able to provide assistance as a runner to give out snacks, teas and coffees however we were very fortunate to be given access to the pub over the road as our base and they were very kind to be able to provide breakfast and dinner for the whole cast and crew. Upstairs of this pub were a couple of rooms that were also able to double as hair makeup and costumes for the actors. As the role of a marshal, it was our responsibility to talk to the members of the public to help explain that that the pump station was closed for the day and keep people out of shot when filming. We did also have a security guard on location with us to help with any problems we might of encountered with any members of the public as well as a paramedic to assist with any accident or injuries faced and for processionary measures due to the high level of risk of environment we were filming at. I was also given instructions to be able to assist with the set on location for opening and closing of the door of the pump station and to look after the actors to help guide and cue them for the scene. This shoot did draw late into the night where the INT scenes where filmed with help of the large lights we had set up around the building. When filming warped all the crew worked as quickly as possible to get all the set dressing and props there were fitted into the pump station down as well all the costumes and hair and make up equipment out before last man out. Overall this was a very successful shoot and was very nice to be able to be out on location despite the cold weather. I was very surprised to see the commercial hit the screen only after 3 months since filming.
