I am an enthusiastic, passionate and hard working individual who is keen to progress and take the next step in my media career.I am currently a Researcher on BBC’s Bargain Hunt. I have been a Researcher on location with experience in forward planning and finding inserts, having the responsibilities of rushes and finding/clearing archive for Worldwide broadcast.During 2024 I have been a Content Creator with BBC Young Musician. I had the responsible for setting up, filming, directing and editing all behind the scenes social media video content and publicity stills for BBC Young Musician. This involved liaising with competitors and high profile talent.I was a Production Runner traveling the country with BBC’s Bargain Hunt during 2022. This role gave me experience in all aspects of production as well as additional experience to step up as a Researcher.I was fortunate in 2020 - 2022 to be a Content Creator for BBC Sesh. This shows my experience in writing scrips, directing, editing and presenting videos whilst working with others to produce content for the BBC Sesh audience.Having been a Manager of an independent cafe in Mumbles, Swansea for over five years prior to my media career, it gave me opportunities to be in charge, manage and motivate staff whilst working under high pressure situations. These skills are transferable in the media industry as unexpected events can occur and need to be solved quickly to ensure production is not disrupted.When not working in this role I was always filming new content or writing scripts for BBC Sesh and my YouTube Channel thus constantly learning and improving my skills and ultimately working on my true passion.I am grateful for opportunities to work with all media networks to take my filmmaking and research to the next level and to further my media career.YouTube channel link: https://www.youtube.com/@gregballantine Read Less
