\"How<\/p>\n

What is a Junior Researcher?<\/strong>
\nJunior Researchers work within the Film Team, usually reporting to the Producer, who in turn reports to the Executive Editor. Junior Researchers are often tasked with creating new concepts and original ideas, and are expected to take initiative, triggering new research proposals. As such, it is imperative that Junior Researchers remain up-to-date with industry news, utilising a variety of media sources. Their remit also includes the writing of briefs for reporters and film makers and reviewing narratives. Researchers must be aware of and understand regulations that impact their work, identifying and assessing sources for legal compliance and copyright requirements.<\/p>\n

Interviewing Contributors<\/strong>
\nJunior Researchers are often responsible for sourcing contributors. They do this through conducting preliminary interviews with prospective contributors, checking availability and the potential of the relationship. The Junior Researcher will become the key point of contact for the contributor, briefing them and sometimes taking them to the shoot locations.<\/p>\n

Junior Researchers are also responsible for identifying locations based on requirements from the script. They must be prepared to negotiate, secure and obtain all relevant permissions for locations and in some cases source props. Furthermore, a Junior Researcher may also be expected to assist on shoots and occasionally self-shooting may also be required.<\/p>\n
