Bill Merner, 20

BA TV Production at Bournemouth University

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 doing real jobs 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 work and research that I have done here, is important to them and Lovelove Films.

During my time here I have completed many research tasks, looking into major clients for the company, gathering valuable and vital information that is required in the very early pre-production stages of projects and productions.

This information is used for the team to create initial concepts that they believe will fit best for the clients’ needs and wants. I was also able to develop a concepts based on my own experiences for BU that I got the opportunity to pitch directly to the head of Marketing and senior BU team members. This was a great experience for me.

Other tasks I have undertaken include organizing travel for shoot days and pitches, ensuring the teams schedule goes as planned and general office duties.

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. There has already been plans made for me collaborating with LoveLove in the future, it has been a pleasure working with them and all of the professionals that make up the team. I look forward to working with them in the future.
