Club looking for new camera operator/videographer to join media team. 

Darlington Football Club is looking for a new volunteer camera operator / videographer to join its match day media team ahead of the new season. 

The football club have produced regular highlights packages from its men’s first team fixtures for a decade. Home games are covered by several cameras and the footage used to produce some of the most comprehensive highlights in non-league football.

Now that the season is upon us, the club is looking to add new camera/videographers to its media team to help cover our games at Blackwell Meadows. 

Duties and Responsibilities 
The role would involve operating cameras and filming the game from a variety of positions within the ground, being able to track the play and provide usable footage for a highlights package which is published following each game. The ideal candidate would have some experience of operating a camera and filming sports. However, an individual with good technical skills or an interest in cameras would be equally suited to the role. The role would be well suited to a student on a media/broadcast production degree looking to gain hands-on experience during their course or someone planning to undertake a media/broadcast degree wanting to learn.

Required Skills 
Be able to work as part of a small volunteer team 
Excellent timekeeping and organisational skills 
Able to set up and operate a video camera 
Produce usable video footage for use in highlights packages 

Additional Details 
This is a volunteer role. The club play games on Saturday afternoons, some Tuesday evenings and bank holidays. The role would be limited to home games only. The club are ideally looking to appoint multiple people to allow for some flexibility and cover. 

What We Can Offer 
The role represents a great opportunity for individuals who want to gain first-hand experience in media production. The role would be hugely beneficial to someone undertaking or planning to undertake a media/broadcast production degree. Their footage would likely be seen by a large audience through the highlights packages that the club produces
