CV
I am a competant Avid editor, DV camera operator, video director and digital photographer. I have good multi-tasking skills, with experience in many media sectors as well as University office-based employment, resulting in high levels of communication and team skills as well as the ability to work on self initiative. I feel I am a suitable candidate for the job.
My enjoyment in the media (television, music, PR, radio and photography) increased markedly throughout my degree. I have undertaken work experience placements at Total Rock Radio, NME Magazine and I was Head of New Music at SCRatch Radio for a year. Here I acquired immense communication skills and responsibilities. My degree has proven my ability to express myself critically and to articulate through creative media forms.
I produced a Documentary ('rockumentary') and music video (of which I edited) commissioned by Birmingham band Lucid. I also edited and co-directed a music video for Birmingham band Lazy J.
