THE MANCHESTER CHILDRENS BOOK AWARD Outside Broadcast - March 2008

Sarah writes: ".The Manchester Book Awards is an awards ceremony held once a year to celebrate the authors of childrens books, It was held at the Manchester City Stadium where children from various schools attended to vote for their best author. It was a long but productive day which turned out to be a great experience. I operated a roving camera for the ceremony, I found it heavy and challenging but thoroughly enjoyable. It was difficult to move through the crowds of excited children to prepare for the next shot, however pre-planning and a good shot list allowed me to carry out my role effectively, it was an experience that I will remember for a long time"."
