Meet the MCP interns – Jas says 'Hi all!'
I have recently graduated from University of Wolverhampton with a BA (Hons) Business Information Management course. My course gave me the qualifications and skills needed to succeed in business. Upon completing my course, I decided to specialise in marketing. I am currently studying a CIM Professional Diploma in Marketing. For the next 6 months, I am working at Mediacove Productions through the West Midlands Graduate Internships (WMGI) scheme. This scheme is aimed at graduates who are out of work and provides a valuable opportunity to gain industry experience.
I started my marketing internship with Mediacove Productions in March. This placement has given me an insight into the worlds of marketing and video production. The internship has given me hands-on experience of promoting Mediacove and the services it offers. It has also allowed me to explore the creative industry and the innovative tools, equipments and software.
The placement has been a great opportunity for me to gain experience and work on real projects with Mediacove. My duties range; from market research and managing the client database, to promoting services we offer. My favourite task so far has been planning and preparing training tutorials to help people use various software packages. This has allowed me to explore new software such as Final Cut Pro and Photoshop etc.
I am looking forward to getting more involved in Mediacove as I have learnt so much in such a short period of time.

Quick video training for businesses
Small businesses in Wolverhampton are being offered an opportunity to learn valuable video marketing skills.
Online video is a powerful and cost effective tool for marketing – as illustrated by the huge popularity of websites such as YouTube and Vimeo.
With this in mind, Mediacove Productions are running a series of two-day courses that will teach busy business owners the basics of quality video production in a short space of time.
Elke Theissl, Managing Producer said: “You don’t need to have years of experience and loads of expensive kit to be able to create effective and professional looking results. You can now buy a pocket-sized HD camera for less than £100.00; we can train you in how to use such basic equipment to maximum effect.”
The two day course will offer total novices an opportunity to get to grips with cameras and editing software. Experienced trainers will also explain how to avoid many of the common errors and pitfalls faced by first time film-makers.
Elke Theissl said: “There are a host of basic mistakes that people make when starting out with video – maybe the sound isn’t clear or the lighting is wrong. We can give you simple solutions to these problems”.
Participants will be guided through the production process, from conceiving and developing an idea, through to editing and uploading the finished clip to a website.
The next ‘Quick Vids’ course will be held on 1st and 2nd June 2010 and again on 12th and 13th July. Places cost £300.00 and are limited to 10 per course. For more information call the Mediacove office: 01902 317646 or email mediacove@wolvcoll.ac.uk.
