Videographer/Photographer Birmingham, England
Job description
Key information
Location: Birmingham, B1 (the role will include remote working but you will be required to be in the office from time-to-time)
Salary: £11,000 per year
Hours: 15 hours per week. Hours will change from week-to-week depending on the availability of the venues.
Company overview: Buckt is the UK’s only tickets and activities subscription service. Every month Buckt subscribers receive five mystery tickets to top attractions and activities in their region. This award winning business operates across London, the Midlands and North West England and is the first of its kind in the world.
What you will be doing
We are seeking a part-time videographer/photographer to join our expanding team. The ideal candidate will have a passion for creating visually stunning content, and have experience in videography, photography and editing.
The videographer will be required to visit the activity providers that we work with across Birmingham and take videos and photos which can be used on our social media, on our website, in Youtube videos and more. This could include, for example, going to a rock climbing centre or a football match and getting photos and video. From this, you will need to edit the videos or treat the images in line with our brand guidelines.
You will need to coordinate your visits, which may include communicating with the venues, our subscribers (who would act as ‘models’ during the shoots) and arranging transport as and when required.
In addition to this, you will working alongside freelance videographers in the other regions that we operate in (London, Manchester and Liverpool). As an employee of the company (as opposed to a freelance like those in the other regions), you will take responsibility for this area of the business and will need to manage the freelancers to make sure that they are delivering their content to the agreed schedule and to the right standard. With this in mind, we would anticipate that the successful candidate would have a level of coordination skills (and management experience - although this is not required).
This is a part-time position with flexible hours. If you are a creative and passionate videographer/photographer looking to grow your skills and work with a dynamic team, we would love to hear from you!
The role is a fantastic opportunity for someone to:
- Be part of an innovative business making waves in the industry
- Become an integral part of the business
- Work with some of the best businesses within the leisure industry
- See your work become a key part of our visual identify, marketing and more
- Get the opportunity to complete as many Buckt activities as you want
Key responsibilities
- Shooting and editing videos and photographs for various projects, including social media content, event coverage, interviews and more.
- Collaborating with the creative team (including our external marketing agency) to conceptualise and execute visual storytelling
- Coordinating visits with both the venues and subscribers
- Working with freelancers and making sure that they are delivering what is expected of them
- Operating and maintaining camera and lighting equipment
- Staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends and techniques
The Videographer/Photographer should have:
- 2+ years of experience in videography and photography (ideal but not required)
- Proficiency in Adobe Premiere, Lightroom, Photoshop and other relevant softwares
- Strong portfolio showcasing your videography and photography skills
- Excellent attention to detail and ability to work well under pressure
- Strong communication, collaboration and coordination skills
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects at once
- Must have own equipment
