Okay well I hope to purchase an A3 book soon which will also be known as my portfolio! The only two things I can imagine being put in there right now is:
[not really in order]
1) When I was in Year 10, I and a lucky few got the chance to visit The Newspaper Education Trust, looked around the huge building located in Blackfriers, saw how newspapers were made there, and were even given the chance to produce our own news stories. We were allocated different roles, my role was entertainment which I really enjoyed. This was more of a task as we were given only a little amount of time to do so but I was proud of my finished piece of work, even got the article in a little keychain!
2) My college magazine; La Mag. It was originally an enrichment course that me and fellow peers in my year group decided to construct a magazine reaching out to all students in La Swap (name of college) where each page of the magazine included exciting and intriguing features of interest for all to read. I did most of the interviewing for te magazine, for example, interviewing students about their time at La Swap. I really enjoyed doing these 'tasks' as I would say I'm definitely a people person, I like interacting and interviewing people, as well as networking.
3) Vox News at Battersea Studios...
I went to Vox News sometime in Summer 2010 with my mentor Claudia. It was very interesting gaining that inside look with the news aspect of journalism and also watching Claudia at work! It was a very relaxed and focus atmosphere and I enjoyed looking at different job roles taken place within the office and how they go about their roles. Vox Africa is a news channel which airs in many part of Africa and is also in French. I even got the chance to partake in one of the oh so many activities by having the opportunity to practice doing a voice-over in the sound room which was very exciting.
I watched Claudia as she made a news report, filmed by the camera team in the studio, full of a countless amount of monitors and camera equipment. It was just kind of how I'd imagine it to be, I even tested the ropes myself and found it exciting, yet something that would definitely need skill! I remember Claudia telling me once she was doing a live news report and when reading along with the subtitles on a screen in front of her, she had to use a foot peddle to scroll the words!
Vox was a very nice environment and a generally good experience
