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.

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.
