My Final Day at TwoFour!

Today I spent most of the day transcribing some tapes for the programme ‘On Thin Ice’. Then in the afternoon I had a meeting with Graham Perkins to evaluate my two weeks work placement with TwoFour.
One of the questions I was asked was:

“What have I enjoyed most during my work experience?”

To my surprise over the two weeks, the part of the placement I enjoyed most was getting the opportunity to go into the edit suites. I found it interesting to see how they put together the programmes, how they compose the voice-overs, as well as getting the chance chat to the editor and director of ‘Hotel Inspector’ finding out different things about the media industry and the company.

Another question I was asked was:

“What were the dislikes to the placement?”

If I’m honest I wouldn’t say they was anything I really hated and would totally put me off from working within the media, however I did find some of the logging and transcribing did get a little boring. I think this was only because sometimes I was doing this for long periods of time and like anything after a while you do get a little bored and want to do something different.


I found I enjoyed my first week a lot more to the second, this was because there was a lot more to do, I was always doing something different and learning something new each day, where as the second week the majority of the time I was doing the same or similar tasks.

I think overall I did enjoy my work placement at TwoFour and did I find it very beneficial encouraging me to explore different career options rather than focusing on one area of the industry something I feel I was doing.

If I had the chance to improve upon my placement I would have liked the opportunity to go out on a shoot with one of the teams, to see how their shoots are run, whether the people are still all bubbly and full of energy and just gain a better understanding of how a production company works. Although I understand the reason why I was unable to attend a shoot was because of the company’s insurance and work experience polices.

I would rate my work experience with TwoFour as 7 out 10.
