Description

Through my experience of that of an advertiser, sub editor for a newspaper, researcher coordinator and assistant director and producer for an electronic media program, voiceover artist and last but not the least lecturer media studies in a university has helped me gain knowledge from an observational as well as practical aspect, learning how much there is to think about, with every shot, every line , I have experienced the seldom frustrating re-takes and the elation of a scene wrapped up, as well as the interesting technical decisions the director and other members of the crew make. I have given words to big events and made people see it all through my eyes. With relevance to this particular point, taking Media Studies has developed my interpretation of written texts, and has allowed me to make technical and directorial decisions based on my own understanding as well as developing written directions further. Teaching English Language has developed my ability to analyze critically and gain a high level of communication skills. I feel these qualities and subjects have added on to my skills and my personality.

Words are what I play with, larger than life and out of the box has always been my approach. I could so easily knit all of my strengths and make sense out of it, A holistic approach, that’s what journalism means to me. The more of myself that I put into it the better the result and while doing so I got to know of my own strengths and I finally came one to one across myself , a journalist, so that’s what I actually am.

One cannot reach the acme of success in his field if he doesn’t passionately feel for it, I consider myself fortunate because every day when I come back home from work I’m never tired on the contrary I’m rejuvenated and hungry for more.

I have been proactively involved in different aspects of media (especially advertising) for a few years. I have studied Media as my majors on a degree level. Having spent four years I have done 20 courses relating to various aspects of media industry. When on these courses I did internships in an advertising agency, newspaper and fashion magazines and publication houses.
