Ms Jenny Smith,
Head of Talent,
Talkback Thames Productions Ltd,
20-21 Newman Street,
London W1T 1PG
1st March 2011


Dear Ms Smith,

I am writing in response to your advert in The Guardian (June 15th) requesting applicants for a Television Production Assistant at Talkback Thames. As a recent 2:1 Comparative Literary Studies and Film graduate with a strong desire to work in television production, and a a good knowledge of sports and its media representation, I believe I am good candidate for the position. You will see from my enclosed CV that I have gained a wide variety of both transferable and specific skills, which relate to working in media:

• Television experience: My work experience as a Runner on Granada TV's Crimestopper gave me invaluable insight into the television process; with hands on experience of location shooting, studio filming, office work and general Runner duties. My time at Crimestoppers required me to work with policemen, film crews, actors and victims of severe crimes. Clear, Concise and often very sensitive communicational skills were required.

• Interest in the Media: My enjoyment and critical interest in the media (television, film, journalism, music, radio and new media) increased markedly throughout my degree, and has continued to grow since then.

• Computer skills: During university, I expanded my knowledge and confidence of Microsoft programs such as Internet Explorer, Word, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook Express. I actively enjoy researching on the Internet, and have a basic understanding of HTML and Visual Basic. My keyboard speed and accuracy has been increased by my recent database and in-house systems work at BT and Cornhill Insurance. 

I am available to start work immediately and I very much look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely,

Rifat Rahman

Annoying orange effect

This effect was completed by using several effects including the Matte, Mask Shape effect on Final Cut Pro. First of we all we had to find an image of an orange off Google, then we had to record ourselves onto webcam as no professional camera was needed for this task. Once we had completed both of these small tasks I then had to import both files (orange and video of myself) onto Final Cut Pro and begin my editing. The Matte, Mask Shape effect had to be used in order to view my face. How this was done I shaped out my eyes and mouth to make me visible on the orange itself, once this was done I went back to video filters on effects and this time chose Mask Feather. What this effect did was it blurred out the edges so it looked as if it was smooth and not so harsh so it would suit the video.

Speed ramp effect

In todays lesson we learned how to put the speed ramp effect into place slowed down footage and sped it up.

Keyframing exercise

In today's lesson we learnt how to key frame rotate a still image and make it into a simple video where the image looks like as if it is bouncing off the walls. Firstly we imported any image we wanted from Google and scaled it down to an appropriate size and started off by positioning it in the corner. (Its really up to you where you want to start doesn't really matter.) For this effect to work i simply used the key framing tool, this can be done my moving the image using image + wire frame to my chosen location and rotation.

The same method had been used for the second video but text was used instead this gave a similar effect and I was proud with what I have made.
