​This page focuses on presenting but I am also a Broadcast / TV Journalist / Reporter. 
I.e. I can present whilst also doing everything else -coming up with, and researching ideas, writing scripts, filming & editing content, etc. 


Or I can work with a team and just focus on the presenting, or one or two skills, e.g. for documentaries and TV programs…

Showreel:​
​Informal, impromptu Travel Reporting showreel below
…


I presented (filmed with a tripod) & edited this. I've upgraded my equipment significantly since this video and now film in 4K Ultra High Definition (4 X the resolution of Full HD) with proper lighting, microphones, etc. The video is just to give a sense of my presenting style and not my filming capabilities.

The video below is lengthy so just flick through and watch as much as you like…



If the video is not below then please contact me for the link.


​Formal clips / showreel filmed during TV Journalism MA:


​Notes on the video below:
  • Consists of more formal clips filmed during my TV Journalism MA. E.g. news anchor, entertainment studio presenter, news package reporter and studio guest. (Studio presenting unrehearsed -Auto-cue).
 
  • Sibilance / 'lispy-ness' on some words (with the letter 's' in them) due to lingual / inside braces at the time -now the braces have been removed, this has been sorted! As have the wonky front teeth in the video -all straight now, lol! 
 
  • You're welcome to skip the written explanation -the presenting starts at 1:30…


​Other Content -Not Online:​

  • Various videos have not been uploaded -due to copyright reasons.​

  • Reported a 30 minute Documentary: During my Television Journalism MA, I reported (wrote the script, researched and presented) a 30 minute documentary, Trapped, about Intensive Rabbit Farming -there are no clips from this in the video on this site, or my YouTube channel however I can send links to clips if relevant. (I interviewed various animal rights charities, those involved in running rabbit factory farms, MPs, market sellers, supermarkets, as well as various others, e.g. a chef who ran a restaurant specialising in serving rabbit). ​
  • Keen to work on other animal-welfare programs.

Travel Videos I/Natasha Created Below...


  • Impromptu, (unplanned, unscripted) presenting videos self-filmed on group holidays. 
    In the videos, I found things to talk about as I went along and couldn't keep the group waiting so it was all filmed rather fast e.g. 4 videos (1. Sun Studios, 2. Martin Luther King, 3. Panda and 4. Beale Street) were all filmed on the same day.
​
  • Intended to showcase only my presenting not my equipment -(I now film in 4K Ultra HD)- or filming -(these videos were self-filmed with a tripod).
​
  • I/Natasha edited all of the videos in Final Cut Pro.
​​
  • Videos made for clients -tourism boards, travel companies, or documentary / TV companies- would obviously be prepared -(scripted, filmed professionally -possibly with a cameraman, etc).

  • The​ videos below are nevertheless useful examples of my presenting (& video-editing).
 (Double-click to enlarge videos).
(Last video: interview with Ed Stafford who walked the Amazon for 2.5 years. (Award-winning documentary 'Walking the Amazon'. Featured regularly on Discovery Channel programs e.g. 'Naked & Marooned').

Showreels Again:
(Incase you didn't view them above).
Video 1: Travel-presenting, informal showreel.
Video 2: More formal showreel: reporting packages, studio anchor, question time. (Had inside braces during this MA year so teeth now fixed/no sibilance).
