Why did you get involved with 'Impress the Panel'?
It felt like something solid the 大象传媒 could offer in the way of a work training attachment and a way of giving someone a proper chance to find their feet in documentary research.
听
Who is the scheme aimed at?
It is aimed at anyone who has an appetite to research television documentaries. Somebody eager to get a foothold in that area.
听
What will make someone stand out to you at the interview?
I want someone who is really alert to the world. Alert to the stories around them.. I think there are great stories around all of us but we just don't notice them.
听
How should people prepare for an interview?
Look around you, listen to what people are saying. Think about what you can observe about Britain today that might make a great documentary... If you do get flustered, embrace that and start again.
听
What sorts of things will the winner be doing during the placement?
It will almost certainly involve some time developing ideas, some time researching stories and some time on location.
