PROJECT RESPONSIBLITY

PERSONAL CAREER GOALS WITHIN DMS

•To raise the standard of DMS video production by further developing my camera work and lighting skills through further hands-on training from industry professionals, thus creating output with professional production values.

•To develop my video editing skills on Final Cut Pro and associated software to create high-end polished productions with a professional “look and feel” that the University can be proud of.

•To use my TV studio experience from SABC and e.tv to create a polished production flow in the DMS studio once it is completed.

•To develop basic training for academic staff who wish to use video images as part of their KNG course.

•To become proficient and possibly an expert in other multimedia applications, (both proprietary and open source software) to enhance my production and training output. For this year, I will focus on Photoshop and GIMP.

•To further develop my audio editing skills using Logic Pro, Soundtrack Pro and Audacity.

•To enhance my presentation skills for training sessions using PowerPoint and other self paced multimedia training products.

•To “close the gaps” by officialising my computer literacy skills through attending training conducted on campus.

•To find innovative and exciting ways to introduce “techno-phobic” academic staff to technology which will enhance their lectures/courses.

•To study further at UWC. I am in the process of finding out what my options are, but I’m needing clarity on how I can achieve this while being a full-time team member in DMS.

•I trust I will have an opportunity to update this before the contents are officially reviewed.
