INSIDE MICHAEL WILKERSON
Where I am today
I have always enjoyed being behind the camera. From a young age I was always first to take pictures or video, I much preferred doing that then being in them. My knowledge of camerawork and the motivations behind what we put on screen developed during my undergraduate degree. Then after a month long internship at a global advertising agency along with working with a few projects at home I knew I wanted to progress in this industry. I have a MA in Documentary Journalism and throughout my year I had to fulfil many briefs as well as work with several characters in tough situations. Since then I have had my first opportunity in the industry. I am currently on a internship at Nottingham Trent University. My role as the video assistant means that I get to work across a variety of briefs and work in both a creative and advisory role. This internship is helping me really develop my understanding of what makes video work and along with that how to target key audiences. I am always driven to learn more and I truly love what I get to do.
