week 3,my first day.
Friday 15th August.
My first day at Open Channel.
Victoria Harbour
Shed 4, North Wharf Rd Docklands
Vic 3008.
Today i worked 9:30 - 4:30, it was easy enough to find as i have worked in the sheds there once before setting up stages for an event, i have also attended events there.
My first day consisted of a lot of little jobs as they were understaffed for the day, this didn't bother me as it is a good way to get to know the place and the people. First i got a tour of the place by Daniel. He showed me around the place and told me what happens where, and introduced me to the other people working there.
Most of the day i did a lot of photocopying for a little book i was going to make for a short course they have there called 'Concept to Script'. I photocopied all the pages which needed to be back to back then put them all in order, hole punched them and binded them. It was pretty boring, but after that i understand how much work goes into making those little books, and i will appreciate them more in the future. I did a bit of cleaning up as there was a a course there that night, things like a bit of sweeping and moving things around to make room. I also sat at reception for a little bit at the end of the day but didnt get any calls or people coming in so that was rather easy. I didn't really have any problems on my first day it was very cruisy, which helped me get used to the place.

My fist day was a good relaxed day to help me get to know the place and im looking forword to learning some other duties they have there especially having a go at some filming.
week 2
Still didn't have a placement 100% but sent out a bio to Open Channel. I got some info back describing a few of the positions available for example marketing, reception and other jobs including helping out with some production and helping out with some of the cources they have there. This sounded pretty good, i would like to have done something to do with photography but was unable to find any places to do it, but i do have an interest in video and this would be a great chance to see what its all like, it would be really good to see if i can learn a bit about documentaries as i think it would be really good to make one some day.
week one
first class, and i did not have anything lined up for my placement, i was a bit worried that everyone els would have stuff ready to go but found out there were many others in the same situation.
