After six months working for Fantasia I was promoted to a project manager for a local online TV channel, Watford TV. I was responsible for managing the project from the early concept stages, employing people and creating departments to help aid the project. I was also in control of the branding, the, the business plan (selling online advertisement), marketing the channel through social media and keeping to the budgets in place by overseeing the programme ideas through pre and post production. This meant I shared the responsibility of organising and coordinating shoots, being a director on shoots and seeing each programme through the post-production stage. The role meant I overlooked each department on a daily basis, amending scripts, casting presenters, storyboarding animation sequences, organising the research department and being present in one to one meetings during the website development stages. I had to use my own initiative and make fast and rational decisions daily.
