Television
Camera Operator
A television camera operator uses digital
cameras to produce desired shots by combining
technology with creative visual skills.
Media
Jobs
Gordon Buchanan is a wildlife cameraman who
first found his passion whilst watching David
Attenborough documentaries. He left school and
went on an adventure with his friend Nick Gordon
to Asia. They shot a film when they were there and
pitched it to the BBC on their return. Gordon then
began making his own documentaries and now is
very successful in the wildlife field.
The majority of Television camera operator
work is freelance. The salary is based on the
production, so a high budget production will
earn around £620 a day and a low budget
between £370-£400. 

Areas For Employment
A camera operator may specialise in working in any or all of the following areas:
Studio - where the camera operator usually follows a camera script, which gives the order of shots. This is practiced at
rehearsal and is cued by the director during recording. The skill lies in interpreting what the director wants and acting
quickly and effectively to achieve it.
Outside broadcast(OB) - working as part of a team of camera operators filming live events, like sporting and
ceremonial occasions and music performances.
On location- there is likely to be more opportunity for creativity through suggesting shots to the director. 

As Television Camera Operators work freelance
their working hours are not concrete. But when
they are working on a project their working
hours are long, varying from 10-14 hour days.
Salary Working Hours
There are no requirements, however having a
background in Journalism, Media
production, Media Studies, Performing Arts
or Photography can help and give.
