Dear Hiring Manager:

I am writing to express my interest in opportunities related to digital media, documentary production, and visual design. I am currently completing a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Digital Media and Design at the University of Hertfordshire, where I have developed a wealth of skills in video production, graphic design, storytelling, and user experience design.

During my study period, I participated in a variety of creative projects, which enhanced my technical and communication skills. One of my most significant projects was the documentary "Sailing Alone", which explored the lives of Chinese students studying in the UK. As the team director, I was responsible for shooting, interviewing the participants, and using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the final work. This experience strengthened my ability to tell meaningful stories through visual media.

I also gained practical industry experience through my internships in China. At Industrial Bank of China, I designed promotional posters, brochures and digital videos, which helped attract over 50 new customers. At Zhongling Industrial Group, I created marketing materials and exhibition videos for international trade events, establishing partnerships with companies from the United States, India, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. These roles enabled me to apply my design and video production skills in a professional business environment.

In addition to my academic and internship experiences, I am also the co-founder of the Canary Wharf Street Fishing Association in London. In this role, I organized competitions, developed sponsorship opportunities, and created promotional content for social media. This experience has strengthened my leadership, project management, and teamwork skills.

I am proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, Figma, Microsoft Office and other digital media tools. I am also fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, English and Japanese, which enables me to communicate effectively in multicultural and international settings.

I am passionate about combining storytelling, visual design and cultural exchange. I am eager to continue developing my skills and contribute to a creative and professional team. Thank you for considering my application. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and enthusiasm can contribute to your organization.

Faithfully,

Chen Kangxian
