    Show Reel That Teaches

    For a lecturer role, your portfolio isn't just about your best shots—it's about how you break down technique. Hiring teams want to see that you can translate professional practice into clear lessons for students.

    1. Curate a teaching-focused reel: Include clips that show your range, but also prepare a few breakdowns of how you achieved specific shots. This demonstrates your ability to explain concepts, which is exactly what a lecturer does.

    2. Highlight your editing fluency: Be ready to discuss your workflow in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, or Final Cut Pro. Mention specific projects where you used advanced features like color grading or multi-cam editing.

    3. Prepare a sample lesson: Create a short lesson plan or a demo video on a cinematography topic. This shows you've thought about pedagogy and can structure learning effectively.

    4. Show your mentorship style: If you've mentored juniors or interns, share examples. Talk about how you give feedback and help students grow.

    5. Know the industry landscape: Be ready to discuss trends in African cinema and digital media. Show that you're plugged into the local and continental scene.

    6. Emphasize practical skills: Beyond theory, highlight your hands-on experience with cameras, lighting, and sound. Students need to learn the nuts and bolts.

    7. Communicate your passion: Lecturers who are passionate about their craft inspire students. Let your enthusiasm for storytelling and visual art come through in your application and interview.

    8. Align with ADMI's mission: Research ADMI's programs and values. Tailor your application to show how you can contribute to shaping Africa's digital generation.
