Videographer - Making Culture Count

The current opportunity is available for current Manchester Met students; to apply you must be based in the UK for the duration of the role.

We are looking for a student videographer to document a public-facing creative activity at Stockroom, Stockport, delivered alongside a busy event to maximise footfall. The activity has been co-designed with young people, who will also be involved in facilitating the session.

Members of the public will be invited to create a personal block print representing their own cultural tastes, guided by a creative questionnaire developed by the young collaborators. The activity is designed to encourage reflection, creativity and conversation, while highlighting the contributions of young people in shaping the experience.

The videographer will create a short, engaging and people-focused film that captures the atmosphere of the event, the interaction between facilitators and participants, and the creative process. The film should highlight the co-designed nature of the activity and centre participants as active contributors, showing a diverse range of voices and experiences.

Final deliverables will include a short 2-minute film and a small number of social media clips, each under 1 minute, supplied as 1080p (Full HD) preferred, minimum 720p, 25 fps, MP4 (H.264).
