Work experience

Suit ltd 6th- 12th July 2015-In the summer holidays I travelled to a media post production. In the time I was here, my role varied from day to day. I was sent to meet clients down in reception and take them to their rooms, making tea for employers and also filing paper work. I sat in with different people and got a better idea of what they did, for example, the editors, the sound technician, the receptionist, graphics and the colour corrector. I found it very enjoyable.

OK Magazine- 10th Aug 2015I attended an experience day at OK magazine. I was placed in the editing/researching office and I completed a number of jobs I was given, which included writing out transcripts which will feature in the magazine, wrote up a contents page of everything inside the magazine. I thoroughly enjoyed this day.

Eye PR (public relations) 2nd march 2016I spent a day in the hands of a public relations company. I went down to Bournemouth to reveal the 3 million refurbishment of the village hotel club and gym. Louis Smith was there as the brand ambassador. There was various things going on throughout the day such as: a press photographer and videographer, a journalist to interview Louis, questions and answers with Louis, and finally a meet and greet. I got to witness a lot of things that go on in the real media world which was a bonus.

SkillsI have learnt many skills from my time studying media at Haydon School. Most of which are programs and how to use them:

Premier Pro- I created my own music video and short filmPhotoshop- I have manipulated several images using PhotoshopAdobe after effects-Adobe Illustrator- I created and coloured a comic with this. Adobe InDesign- created a digipak and a magazine using this programme.
