Organised by Roundhouse
Are you a young person aged 18-25 and want to work in film, TV, live streaming or making online video? Welcome to a programme that breaks down barriers to entry and unlocks opportunity.
This seven-week intensive course in Live TV Broadcast and Film will give you the skills you need to progress in the industry.
The Roundhouse is one of the few venues in the UK with an in-house broadcast facility, bringing our exciting live arts and music programme to screens across the world. Our facilities and professional networks provide the means to help young people gain the necessary experience to start a career in the wider screen industries.
Across seven weeks you will be given training and hands-on experience in film production, camera operating to post production and live editing/mixing, through intensive workshops, guest masterclasses and working on productions at the Roundhouse. You will learn the fundamentals of filmmaking and how a live show is brought to the screen, gaining experience in the production and technical job roles involved.
We’ll wrap up the programme by showing you the next steps for starting a career in film and/or live TV and streaming.
This is a free programme that aims to open up access to careers in film, tv, live broadcast and online media to those who may experience barriers. Attendees will be provided with £10 per day to cover transportation and meal expenses.

DO I NEED ANY PARTICULAR SKILLS OR EXPERIENCE TO TAKE PART?
We are looking for young people who can demonstrate an active interest in filmmaking or screen production and maybe some experience of creating video, but we don’t mind what tools (software, equipment, media etc) you used or how you did it.
You don’t need to be an expert, if you have an enthusiasm for film, tv and live streaming, Behind the Lens is for you.

I’M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE PART…
Attendees will be provided with £10 per day to cover transportation and meal expenses. If you need further help to pay for things like project fees, transport or childcare, we can help.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL NEEDS. WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?
