About me
I am a recent 2:1 television production graduate at Middlesex University (Skill-set academy) where I have taken part in working on various documentaries ,dramas and entertainment shows. I also have past work experience at companies such as Flame TV and Saracens Rugby Club.I have gained a wide variety of both transferable and specific skills, which relate to working in television:
Work experience: My work experience placement as a office runner at Flame TV gave me a deep insight into the daily running of a television production from an office based environment. My time at Flame TV required me to work under the production manager and production assistant, mainly working on researching various topics, transcribing video clips and delivering video tapes to a near by editing house.
My enjoyment and critical interest in the media (television, film, music and radio) increased markedly throughout my degree, and has continued to grow since then.
IT skills: Throughout my University degree I expanded my knowledge and confidence of Microsoft programs such as Internet Explorer, Word, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook Express. I actively enjoy researching on the Internet and have a good basic understanding of editing software (Adobe premiere, Logic pro 7, AVID)
Writing/research skills: My degree has proven my ability to express critical opinions within a sustained argument. A high level of research and analytical reading was essential to reach this standard. The experiences of writing reviews, short film scripts and adapting a play have increased my confidence in these skills.
