4. Response to the requirements
From looking at the requirements of the Job, it is the type of job
that requires experience within in the industry already. To get
such experience I would need to start off with a smaller company
and try move my way up into the “leader” of the company. From

great help to the application as they could see what I can create
by myself and let them see what ideas and style I bring to the

find one that is closer to me, and it would only be a short-term

socialize with people in the industry, ask questions, show my

required to aid the shoot's progress. They run errands, convey
messages, look after cast and crew, make drinks and provide
food, drive and deliver kit.
• Runner is possibly the most simple and basic way to gain
experience on a set without having a large amount of pressure

runners and it is just a matter of working yourslef up the ranks a
s time progresses.
