Pre-Production Saves Post-Production: A Live Event Lesson

I was covering the Music Vibes party with my friend and colleague Elina who was directing and editing the video for the event. My role was lead camera operator for the night. I prepared a brief shot list that did not have enough details because I thought I could rely on instinct more than preparation.

My Relationship with Time Management!

When we were told to write a blog about a mistake we had made, I didn’t know what to write about because, over my time here with Mediazone, I had made so many small mistakes here and there and didn’t know which one to cover. But then I realized their common denominator …. time management! So, I’ve decided to tell you guys the mistakes I tend to make and how I’m fixing them.

Today we’re finally talking about the other side of audio-visual production — the stressful moments, the mistakes, and the lessons learned. So, buckle up, because this one was a ride. I was directing a major event: the 10th anniversary of our beloved Music Vibes.

Mediazone, University of Nicosia – The only audiovisual hands on experience you need!

Volunteering at Mediazone, University of Nicosia was a great experience that blended enjoyment and work seamlessly.

It really helped me with getting to know people as I was an international student with the Global Semesters program, who knew next to no one when I began volunteering.

Right from the start, Mediazone got me working on an audiovisual project – post production / editing and recording an event.

The group at Mediazone is like a family. There was not one time I would go to work on a project where I was not greeted with a smile and a short conversation. It is a great outlook onto the ‘media industry and puts everything into perspective.

Mediazone: Student Volunteers from half way around the world!

My career path has always been influenced by what I enjoy, but also by doubts and uncertainty about my skills when it comes to the real world. Being a volunteer at Mediazone not only reignited my passion for video production projects and storytelling—it made me realize how capable I can be when the best is expected of me.
