Bectu’s Camera Branch calls for DPs’ help with survey

Aug 31, 2023

Bectu’s Camera Branch is moving into the next phase of its campaign, ‘Where did the camera trainee go?’, and is calling on DPs to help.

An initial survey for 2nd ACs and camera trainees was launched in late July 2023. The response was impressive, with more than 300 participants sharing their input.

A second survey has now been developed and launched, working with a group of BSC cinematographers, and focuses on the topic of camera trainees and the training they receive on set versus the growing responsibilities placed on them. It seeks to establish the resulting impact this has on their camera training (which is generally negative as they simply have no time left in the day to be trained!).

The Camera Branch is asking as many DPs as possible to fill out the survey. To help, please click here to complete the survey and do share with your colleagues.
