This is one of our entry level session on our Stepping Stone project. The Data Wrangler role can either be a specific role OR the skills learned can be used in many entry level positions including runner, researcher and camera assistant etc.

In the training session we will be looking at the following:

• An overview of current digital camera formats and codecs
• An overview of current hard drives, SSDs, cables, connectors and software.
• Choosing the correct equipment for a particular job.
• How to create a simple documentation to record all the essential tasks required
• Introduction to quality control checking
• How to securely transfer, organise and back-up camera data to recognised industry standards
• An overview of Shotput Pro and Offshoot as wrangling tools

Once completed you will have a better idea of the role and responsibilities of the data wrangler and have a good idea of how the skills fit into an entry level role. You’ll have a good overview of industry tools to enable you to backup your material in a safe and industry recognised way and follow industry good practices.

As a delegate on the course you will also be notified of any networking events run by ourselves or partners as well as having access to our fortnightly drop in session at Gorilla Academy.
