Media related experience


I've made lots of short films in the past couple of years within college and school. I used to go to an after school film club - every month we used to make a new film. This club was running for 2 years and I gained useful experience as a director, which inspired me to do this for my career.

Since I have been in college I have worked on a variety of animation styles which include cut out animation (poster, marketing), clay animation (making morphs, idents), zoetrope, music video, creative blog up to date.

Experience


I am currently working in the hair and make-up industry as a make-up artist/ sales associate, I am located in a busy environment and have demanding clients that I sale products, some of the products we sale are straighteners, facial peel and make-up.

I have worked within Whittington Hospital in the women's health clinic as a receptionist, some of my duties included answering the phone to clients, booking them in and out, going to collect patients notes and providing customer service.

over the years I have also done voluntary work where I have worked with the RSPCA, to raise money doing a number of different activities. I have also had the responsibility of baby siting young children where I was the primary carer on a daily bases.

Interest


I love listening to all different types of music, I am also a very active person I used to play football for Arsenal ladies football team, one of my many passion include photography and filming.

Dear Ms Smith,


I am writing to you to enquire as to whether you have any vacancies in the editing department. I have just completed my national diploma in TV & Film, over the past 2 years i have worked on a number of different projects which include stop motion and cut out animation, music video production, film shorts and viral media.


I would like to have an opportunity to work within your company because I am a great admirer of your wide variety of shows and feel as though I would be a great asset to the organisation. I am creative, I have experience using a number of different editing software, I have always worked to meet deadlines and I am also comfortable working by myself or in a team, I can work under pressure in busy environments and still remain calm.


I hope to be given this opportunity so I can demonstrate my talent and skills which i can bring to your organisation. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application, and I hope to hear from you soon. 


Your sincerely,


Sheniz Salahi

Self Evaluation

Sue has set an assignment for the class to complete. We had to get in a group of 4, I worked with Raymond, Jordan and Alessandra. We had to make a short ident for City of Westminster college


Everyone In my group are very intelligent and very creative, I'm happy that I picked to work with my group because we did a lot of planning, we come up with lots of different creative ideas and we had so many ideas we didn't know how we was going to pick the best one so we come up with a solution that we was going to put all our ideas into one. 


I think I managed my time very well within this project but could of done better, out of 5 I think I would rate myself a 3 the reason why is because I come up with lots of different ideas, I did three different mind maps also I played a part of being an actor within the ident.

We worked very well in our group and I think if we put our minds to it we could of made a better ident. The reason why I rated my group a 4 out of 5 because at the begging I was doing all the work for example thinking of all the ideas and I had to make three different mind maps with different ideas for example the first mind map what based on different types of animation what we was going to use, second mind map was based on all the ideas I come up with and the third mind map had to me based on one of the ideas but because we couldn't pick only one we put like five of our ideas and put it into one mind map.

I was very creative, I thought of most of the ideas. I designed all three of the mind maps and I also played part of being an actor in the City of Westminster ident. I also took part with the audio pitch. I also give myself a 4 out of 5 because I wouldn't of been able to complete this task with any other group  

In my own opinion me and my group managed to meet the creative brief within out animation because the ident was very original for City of Westminster college, we all met the deadlines that was set. I think it also reflected on the style, branding and attitude because we have used the college logo and mentioned 4 subject which the college study, we also used the college building so it looks like its a real life footage. We thought by using clay animation, Morphs would be great opportunity to use because it relates to us as we are currently studying media and have had experience during the past year.

The thing that I was most proud of was the journey from the start to end of this project, this means that we didnt have any experience of making a ident or even have any ideas we thought of all of it on the spot and on top of that that fact on how the final footage of the ident turned out to look and overall the whole assignment turned out.

If I had to do this assignment again there would be a couple things that I would of changed for example I think we  made our time for time for the planning we could of made a different story line and maybe would of been better than what we made. We gave all our planning to one of the group members, (she's always in college) she took it home knowing that she wasn't going to be in college the next day and that's when we needed it so we could finish of our ident so yeah the next time I will be making copy's of every work we do to give to EVERYONE so everyone has got a copy.

In my own opinion I'm very happy that I picked to work with Alessandra, Raymond and Jordan the reason why is because it was very fun, interesting and very creative. If i had to do any project I would automatic go and work with the same three people over and over again.
