Know Your Commissioners!
Vision+Media believe that production companies and producers can grow through exposure to commissioners! We feel that exposure promotes collaboration; helps find new markets and leads to commissions and sustainability. This is why we are running a series of meet the commissioner events throughout 2010-11. The third of which centred on ‘factual’ was held at Vision+Media’s offices in Salford Quays on 13th September. It attracted 43 producers all eager to meet and learn about the opportunities for factual commissioning within major broadcasters.
What can commissioners bring to the table?
In order for producers to take advantage of any opportunities they first need to know what these opportunities are where they are and how to access them. The event was designed to impart that knowledge so we checked to see how effectively that was done. We asked attendees to rate their levels of knowledge or understanding in the following areas:
- Knowledge of broadcasting commissioners and how to access them
- Knowledge of the current and upcoming opportunities for commissioning across the broadcasters, and
- Knowledge of the commissioning processes within the broadcasters.
