My name is Oisin McCoy and I'm a graduate of Queen's University Belfast, with a degree in BA Broadcast Production.

 

I am passionate about sports and sports broadcasting, and have aspirations of working in this industry. I want to create unique and diverse content that will excite, educate and emotionally engage audiences. 

 

I was humbled to be part of a team that won the award for best factual documentary at the 2023 Royal Television Society NI Student Awards.

​

My degree pathway has allowed me to develop a wide range of practical and technical skills including:

 

-Audio and video editing

-Directing, producing and idea generation 

-Camera operating

-Scripting for documentary & Live TV

-Structuring for documentary & Live TV (3 act structure etc.)

-Logging Rushes

-Formulating run plans and call sheets for on location shoots (TV, radio and podcast). 

-Key journalism skills including training in standards and ethics 

​

​These skills were further developed in a real world setting through a placement with a Northern Ireland production company. I had the opportunity to  work on a variety of factual programming for which I received official credits on two separate BBC and RTE programmes.
