About Me
I, Khuphukile Phochana, completed my media studies at Boston Media House in 2016. I majored in TV
Production and I completed a year of an internship at chocolate Milk and Cookies and was promoted as an
Assistant Editor prior to my contract ending. I then got an opportunity at I Love That Productions, as an offline editor for an SABC show called ‘Teenagers on A
Mission’ (TOMz). It doesn't matter which department I'm in, I always give it my best.
Favourite Quote: One thing I love about life, is that you never stop learning.

Conceptualize story ideas
I prepped my own episodes, meaning prior to editing I would sync the visuals and the audio and make sure I have all my elements.
As the offline editor I had to; make sure I cut the episode into a 24minutes show. Lay it out according to the sequence which included: adding green screen
studio, adding voiceovers, adding the second segment which is an expert on a particular topic our production team has shot out on location – The ENG. And lastly add the gameshow school kids play.
Once I’m done with the offline, I add in generators- These are visuals, supported by voiceovers.
Reason for leaving: It was a three months contract and it ended
