About me

A highly skilled and motivated audio visual production professional with an eye for detail. Considerable understanding of the media Pre-Production and Production processes. Specialising in Post-Production with technical ability, and a considerable understanding of the workflow. Remaining unphased by working in a busy, on the go environment. Capable of providing exceptional client based service to the highest standards through listening and communication. A champion of best practice who is organised and professional at all times, possessing plenty of practical experience and knowledge of Videography, Audio Recording and Audio Visual Editing processes. Now looking to work for a company who gives staff unprecedented opportunities to build their careers and capabilities through creative media.
My name is Leila, and I am a filmmaker at heart and I specialise multimedia production. Although my productions have been low budget, I have worked in a way which has analysed the modern day filmmaking workflow and scaled it down to be more appropriate for my smaller productions. That means I have used SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS for sharing and storing materials for Pre-production, Production, and Postproduction purposes on Cloud based computing systems.

Whilst I was Working as a Postgraduate Ambassador for the Arts and Creative Industries, simultaneously I was studying a Masters degree in Film Production, and the workload for both was quite intense. This proves that I have the ability to multitask and prioritise deadlines as necessary to fulfil my own responsibilities. As a Postgraduate Ambassador, I worked fast pace with managers across the Marketing, Communications & Content and Student Recruitment teams, to help devise and produce social media marketing campaigns, and aid in enhancing the University’s profile. This Improved my ability to communicate effectively, whether digital or in person, to the people I worked with.

It is Important to note that I have a science and technology based background in education. My undergraduate degree was a BSc in Multimedia Production for which I received a 1st Class Degree with Honours, and this is where my love of technology developed further. I learnt how to use Audio Mixers, Field Recorders, and Wireless Transmitter/Receiver equipment, alongside HD Video, DSLR and Digital Film Cameras. This is further enhanced by my ability to use post production software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. Henceforth I have utilised all these skills to aid in all productions that I have been part of professionally.

Additionally, when I was studying both my Postgraduate and undergraduate degree I had to use the Microsoft office suite proficiently, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher, to be able to complete the course. And since I did acquire top grades for both courses, my ability to pitch, present, design, and collect quantitative and qualitative data, is at an excellent level, along with my tech savvy computer skills which I hope to grow.

As the digital media and technology field is growing at an incredibly fast rate, I pride myself on having the aptitude to work fast paced whilst learning new skills on every project that I undertake. This is part of my versatile nature, and of course this has been evidenced by my professional and academic experience with both technology and creativity.

Producing any kind of digital media involves many different skills, and although I am well equipped to handle such a task, to ensure that any production runs smoothly, working with others is essential to create a high quality artefact. This has been the methodology that I have executed in terms of all professional and academic projects, and I have succeeded in building professional relationships throughout my institution based profession and freelance career.

As an Individual with a growth mindset, I am always ready to undertake new challenges, and step out of my comfort zone. With my tech and science background I am familiar with web design as well as electronics so I will have no problem in practically handling any situation to problem-solve in a hands-on way, with regards to working with clients for multimedia platforms or creating/maintaining relationships as necessary. This has been proved by my proactive approach to my academic career in creating the first ever British Asian Horror film which was funded by raising £2004 via a Kickstarter crowdfund campaign through utilising social media.
