Internships
This internship is with "Compass Pathways (London)" and according to the article "the video production and editing intern will be supporting our therapist training team with creating and editing engaging and insightful training videos. these materials will be posted on our online training platform used by therapists participating in our study programme."
i think that i would be suitable as i feel like a training video wouldn't be that hard to edit and the other reason is that we have done documentaries for previous projects and i can understand how i would have to structure the video in terms of its narrative. For example looking at things like body language because the training video is for a therapist training group. you get paid £7.70 an hour which is good but you cant make a living out of it because its only internship which means that you get little or no payment. In terms of travel cost, i think its roughly £7.00 or so to get there by train and i would easily be able to afford the travel and food when i am there because i would be doing something like 8 hours which is roughly £56.00 which is more than enough for travel and food costs. |

Communication Skills
After looking at this article by Alison Doyle i have gained a rough idea as to what questions i should expect when i go for an interview. i have learned some of the top ten things the manager will be looking for which include
"
i think the example questions that you might expect to see in an interview are quite helpful as i can review and go over them in order to help myself prepare and i can get a rough idea bout how to approach the interview. i also understood that i would have to have the right boy language meaning that i would have to show whether I'm comfortable which would mean i would sit in a relaxed position or if i was stressed or nervous i would sit in an awkward position and this is what the interviewer looks for (This is from a different website)
I’m pretty sure everyone has had at least one job interview that they’ve completely failed at. Your interviewer asked a question you weren’t expecting and you froze, you wore the wrong outfit, or they just thought you were totally wrong for the role. It can be really disheartening facing interview rejection, so here are five helpful tips on how to ace your next interview and walk away with your dream job. 1. Do your research on the company. You should walk into your interview armed with as much knowledge as you can gather about the way the business is run. Educate yourself on their vision and mission statements (you can find these on most company websites in the ‘about us’ section) and find ways to align what you say during your interview with the company ideals. If you know they’re invested in a project that interests you, or that they could utilize your skill set on, bring this up. It definitely won’t work against you. 2. Dress the part. There’s an old adage that goes, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” Seriously, this is great advice. Get a feel for the company culture and present yourself accordingly. If you’re stepping into the corporate world, suit yourself up and make sure you look smart. Likewise, if you’re going for a job in the fashion industry, make sure you’re wearing your most on-trend outfit. If you can’t afford to deck yourself out in new clothes, beg or borrow (but probably don’t steal) from your friends or family. It may seem trivial, but believe me, it counts. 3. Ask questions. Show your interest in the role. Ask your interviewers what they most enjoy about their job. This will give you tons of insight into what it’s really like to work for the company and how they treat their employees. Another great question to ask is what they are looking for in their potential employee. Often, interviewers don’t give away very much about what they want their new staff member to be like, and it is up to the interviewee to try to gauge how they should present themselves. Asking this question can help minimize the guess work. 4. Know how to sell yourself. Prepare examples based on commonly asked interview questions, such as times you have worked well on a team, shown initiative, solved a problem, and the most dreaded of all interview questions – your strengths and weaknesses. Your interviewer wants to know you can think on your feet, so it is important to provide coherent answers and not ramble off on a tangent. Make sure you read the job description in the advertisement carefully, and tailor the responses you give in your interview so they are relevant to the role you are going for. If you are applying for a role where you need to demonstrate a particular ability, make sure you mention a time when you did something similar for your previous employer. 5. Don’t feel intimidated. I really think this is the most important tip. Remember, you are interviewing your potential future employers just as much as they are interviewing you. So hold your head high and be confident. Remember that you are awesome, and your interviewer will see it, too. |
Excellent communication skills are essential for workplace success. If you've landed an interview, expect to be asked interview questions about how you communicate, and to have your ability to communicate in the workplace tested and evaluated. Regardless of the role, employers seek employees who can get along with others and who can communicate well both verbally and non-verbally.
When you interview for a job, the hiring manager will ask about communication skills, including how you address issues, how you handle challenging situations, what you expect as far as communication from management, and other questions related to your ability to communicate. What the Interviewer Will be Looking For© The Balance, 2018In addition to the responses you give, your ability to communicate will be evaluated. What are your verbal and nonverbal communication skills like? How well do you explain your answers? How articulate are you? Do you listen carefully to what the interviewers are saying, or do you interrupt and try to dominate the conversation? Do you look your interviewers in the eye when you speak to them? What does your body language say about you? When interviewers ask their questions, they do so not only to gain information from you but to see how exactly you communicate through verbal tone and nonverbal expression. Here are some of the top 10 communication skills the hiring manager will be evaluating:
If you need to brush up on your interviewing skills, take the time to practice. The more comfortable you are in the role of an interviewee, the easier it will be showcase how well you can communicate. Practice interviewing with a friend or family member, or even by yourself in front of a mirror. Even though it's not a "real" interview, you'll be able to consider, in advance, how you will respond and how you will connect with your interviewer. Communication Interview QuestionsPreparing in advance by reviewing these interview questions and examples of the best answers about communication will help you get ready to respond to these common communications-related job interview questions.
after reading through another article i have learned about what type of attire i would wear to an interview. for example point number 2 talks about how if i was to apply for a job in the corporate world i would have to wear a suit to make myself appropriate and if for example i was to go into the fashion world i would have to wear something trendy.
i have also learned that it is worth asking my own questions in the interview because it shows that i am interested in the role that i am applying for. for example i could ask "what are they looking for in their potential employee" which i think is quite a significant question to ask. i have learned that it is important to be confident in an interview and not show any signs that i feel intimidated because "remember, you are interviewing your potential future employers just as much as they are interviewing you" |

Media Portfolio Analysis

Matt Harney |
Even though the website consists of two colours the graphics that you see when you open up the website are creative because there is a graphic of a table with a laptop, camera pen pot, and a cat which suggest that he likes house pets, the red pencil which connotes that he is old-school meaning he prefers pen-to-paper, and lastly a camera and a laptop which suggests that he enjoys perhaps filming, editing, photography and graphic design. i personally like the web layout because everything is centred so its easier to focus on and i like the two-toned design as it shows simplicity. i also think that the green colour would connote that he is environmentally friendly.

This is Matt's bio which is also on the home page. i think that having it on the home page is good as it helps you to understand a little bit about him before you navigate the site. The bio simply reads "Good afternoon, I'm Matt Harney and I love working with all mediums of Digital Media. I can design for print and the web, illustrate and animate, and I also work with video. This is my digital portfolio. Thanks for visiting, click on and hopefully we'll chat later." i think that the part where it says "good afternoon" because it shows that it welcomes you depending on what time of day you visit the website. you also learn that the website is quite personalised and that he enjoys working with all types of digital media.
|
Bio |
Here are the contents of Matt's website at the top you can see tabs for Home, Work, Me, Talk and Blog and underneath that you can see little graphics which are for the different types of work that he has done which are video, graphic design, web design and photography. the contents/navigation system has been kept to a simple standard and its is easy to navigate the site. the home site is good for basic info, the work is just all the work that he has done, the me tab is more about himself, the talk tab is information on how to talk to him which is on twitter, and finally the blog tab which leads you to his blog which is called "Under the Matt".
|
Contents |
This is where and how the videos are displayed. i think that he has followed his theme of simplicity on this page as well because he has kept this quite simple. the videos are on the left side and on the right side there are brief explanations explaining the context and a little bit of information about the video to the left of it. i like the fact that the videos are displayed as YouTube videos as it makes it easier to access and you can easily share them if you wanted to. it also shows what clients he has done work for which is good as other people can look at them as well.
|
How videos are displayed |
I personally feel inspired by the home page because i like the simplicity of it and i like the graphic which is the first thing you see when the website loads. i like the homepage because there is a lot of information which you can find on the homepage itself, for example there is information about himself on there and there is information on how you can talk to him. if you scroll down the home page you can see some examples of his work and what type of work he does. i think this is good for people who have just loaded up the site because they can see the type of work he does and they will be able to see information about him which i think is quite helpful when people are looking for media work.

Design |
This website is also fairly simple in terms of its colours because the font and navigation are fairly simple but the graphics that you are introduced to are quite vibrant and colourful which is good as it gives you something to look at in terms work and it makes for an interesting website. As you can see the graphics are high quality and they are done to a high standard which suggests that she is creative and good at what she does. The fact that the graphics and images you see are weird and random suggests that she is quite creative and random, also the vibrant colours that are used help us to understand that she is perhaps a colourful person in terms of personality and is quite interesting.
|
Bio |
This is the bio where she has information about herself. "Archer has a passion for telling stories in the most visually compelling way. Her aesthetic integrates stylised design, highlighting offbeat moments in her signature playful tone that runs throughout all her work. She brings a carefree lifestyle element into her stylised concept-based narratives". you can see that the colours used have been toned down a little bit, also what i think is important is the fact that the information is centred which helps to show its importance. There is a feature at the top of the page where you can select more or less which i feel is a good feature because there is brief information for people browsing through the website, and there is a lot of information for people who are interested in her work and want to read about her. there are images of her with creative backgrounds either side of the bio which makes the page more interesting to look at.
|
Contents |
In terms of the contents there is some basic navigation tabs at the top which take you to the home page(which is also where most of her work is), info(bio) and archive which is like a glossary type page for all of her work that she has done over the years which gives you dates and info about each piece of work she has done. i think that there isn't a lot of contents as there are only 3 tabs but there is a lot to explore on each tab which i think is useful. i like Kristyna's contents because the contents are kept simple and unique in my opinion
|
How videos are displayed |
This is how Kristyna displays her videos. On the main page, which is the home page, there is a feature at the top of the page where you can choose between 'still' and 'video' which are the graphics in the form of an image and the graphics in the form of videos. i like the videos as they are vibrant and they are all unique. When you click on a video you get taken to a different page where you can see the video better and you get to read about the video because there will be information about that piece of work on the new page. One thing i like about them is that you get to see the credits and who the client was that she did the work for.
|
Chosen section |
The page i chose because i thought it was the most interesting was the home page which is the page you are introduced to when you first load up the website because i think that the graphics you see are interesting. i like this page because i think that all the still and moving graphics are interesting and it grabs my attention. i also feel that the home page is quite positive because of the vibrant colours used in the graphics which are displayed. i also think that the home page is quite good because it helps to get potential clients interested in the site and the client can easily see what type of work Kristyna can produce.

Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Jude and I am currently a student at The Henley College and I am doing a 2 year creative media production course which I find to be quite enjoyable. I want to study a media course because I find different types of media quite interesting, for example when I see things on TV like the news or game shows, I think it is interesting how all the graphics and text is displayed on screen. I personally feel like my studies at The Henley College have helped me prepare for university because I have been taught how to use different types of equipment such as the cameras and how we can use our own cameras in terms of how to change the settings for when you are outside or when you are in a room that doesn’t have very good lighting. I have also been taught how to use software such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition and I used Adobe Audition when I did my final major project and I received feedback saying that I edited the production really well, and I think this will help me in future media projects and I have found the course to be quite useful. I am quite interested in media because I have done work experience for an editing company in London for a couple of days and I found that enjoyable as I was able to learn how to edit video and manage clients. I feel like this experience I had will boost my chances of succeeding in media a small amount because I will be able to understand a little bit of how things work in terms of how clients are managed and general editing is done for the clients as well. From university I would like gain a degree and more importantly I would like to have learned the skills that would help me in the bigger world and boost my chances of succeeding in the media industry. I personally enjoy watching YouTube videos and gaming content on there because I think it’s interesting how that content creator has put the video together, when I’m with my friends, sometimes we film the stuff that we do and I enjoy editing some of the footage together into a funny video because I doing that sort of thing.
