We would love to introduce you to @screen_mcr trainee Qianlin Wang who, in the below short clip, reports back on her time spent on the set of Waterloo Road.
Working with the team on the @ropeladderfiction and @walltowalltv hit series, currently on @BBCOne and @BBCiPLayer, Qianlin has learned technical skills required to become an assistant editor. In addition to this she has seen, close up, the post production workflow process. A great advantage has been that Qianlin has been given many opportunities to practice the skills herself, gradually taking on more responsibilities along the way.
Qianlin has emerged from the placement with a newfound confidence to work alone juggling multiple tasks under pressure. This #ScreenAllianceNorth initiative made possible by the BFI with NationalLotteryFunding has allowed Qianlin a fast track to shadowing the editors and an introduction to online, grading and dub mixing.
Perhaps most importantly the placement has involved talking to and meeting the professionals working on set which all helps build a true sense of what the TV Industry and its processes are all about.
