I am now fed up to the point of snapping of people's attitudes towards us and our filming and the downright rudeness, hostility, unpleasantness etc that we receive while trying to film. It TAKES THE PISS!!
Just because I am from college does not mean I do not know what I am doing, it does not mean I play pretend, and it does not mean that I have had no professional experience or that I am not going to be an industry professional one day. WE ARE THE PROFESSIONALS OF THE FUTURE! And the sooner organisations and places we film at realise that and stop treating us like dumb useless shits, the better!
And... just because I am a teenager does not make me ignorant, it does not make me a yob, it does not mean I don't care about the war, it does not mean I am useless, stupid, mess about, or know nothing. I am an aspiring ambitious successful intelligent young lady with industry experience and a great personal connection to the war effort and deep deep respect for those who gave their lives to ensure we are free today. The sooner you ""grown-ups"" realise that the better!!
And... just because I am not from the BBC, I do not have lots of fancy cameras and other kit, and JUST BECAUSE I AM NOT OFFERING YOU A SUBSTANTIAL SUM OF MONEY FOR THE PRIVILEDGE TO FILM, DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN TREAT ME LIKE SHIT!!!!! Where is the love these days, I mean, seriously?!?! Where is the morals and kindness and good values to do the decent thing and help some enthusiastic young documentary makers out for nothing? Are you all really that cold and spineless all you care about is money? Get a fucking grip, get down off your pedastal, try being nice and helping out by making stuff easy for us and you might get more business in future - cos teenagers are the ones who are heavily networked, opinionated and influential!
Yours, a very pissed off future BBC video editor.
