Voiceover ideas for Jonathan's edit

Media students. We decided to make a documentary to find out what Sheffield has to offer them by way of a career. First we asked the public. 7 secs.

People in the industry

And found out what it takes to get a foot in the door in an industry that's increasingly difficult to break into.

So with over 25 media related courses in Sheffield alone, surely the public have some idea of what a media student actually does? We ventured into the city centre to find out. 10 secs.

No one really had an opinion. Until we met this man.

It was beginning to look like no one had anything positive to say about media students.

So with all this negativity hanging over us we decided to head to the Workstation, home to several cultural and media companies all supporting each other. We spoke to Tom Gatis former Media student and currently working as a Project Co-Ordinator for the Sheffield DocFest about his experiences - new cutaways needed?

The message was coming through loud and clear, work experience is the key to success in the Film and Media industries and we could see the struggle facing media graduates. With that in mind we packed up for the day and headed back the next morning to meet Hussain, film programmer for the International Doc Fest held every autumn.
