Curriculum vitae

February 14, 2010 Leave a comment

My name is James Woodcock, a student studying journalism at The University of Kent in Medway. On the course, I produce journalism in many formats.

I write news, news features and reviews, and I also produce video, radio and online output. I am adept at using Adobe InDesign, Adobe Premier Elements, Adobe Flash and Adobe Audition.

I master new software quickly, as well as online applications. I feel that I work quickly, competantly and efficiently. I have no qualms with working to deadline.

My main interests are films and technology. When not filling my spare time with these, I like to keep myself in good shape. Or at least attempt to.

The purpose of this blog is one of self-publishing, as I relish the opportunity to write and have a creative output. I hope you enjoy exploring this blog.
