Read MoreFrom the moment I was captivated by the series 'Breaking Bad,' I knew that I wanted to forge a career in film and television. This realization has fueled my desire to gain hands-on experience in various aspects of filmmaking, including photography, videography, and editing. Through dedicated efforts, I have developed practical skills that have been showcased on my YouTube channel, which currently boasts an impressive 11.8 million views and 16,500 subscribers. My proficiency in video editing using Premiere Pro, thumbnail creation with Photoshop, and analysis of viewer statistics has allowed me to produce engaging content. Moreover, I have used my platform to contribute to charitable causes, successfully fundraising over £1,000.
My video editing skills caught the attention of esteemed filmmaker Steve Concotelli, renowned for his work on the 30th anniversary 'OUTATIME' Back To The Future trilogy box set. His recognition of my talent and encouragement to continue creating content has been a great source of inspiration.
In addition to my artistic endeavors, my experiences as a waitress and cafe assistant have honed crucial skills that are directly applicable to TV production. These roles have instilled in me a sense of efficiency, organization, and effective communication with both customers and colleagues. Similarly, my time as a teaching assistant has further developed my communication and organizational abilities while teaching me the value of adaptability and providing support to a diverse range of staff members. I have found these skills to be instrumental in my past and current positions within the TV production realm.
Building on my practical experience, I have worked as a camera operator at the Cheltenham Literature Festival and UoG Varsity. These opportunities have equipped me with valuable skills in capturing interviews and dynamic B-roll footage for various events. I thrive in fast-paced environments, and my organizational skills and ability to multitask ensure that I deliver exceptional results. Additionally, my experience as a runner at Unit One Films has reinforced the importance of teamwork and the value of supporting fellow crew members.
Proficient in Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Google Docs, Zoom, and Teams, I am confident in my ability to utilize these tools effectively. Furthermore, I possess some knowledge of After Effects, AVID Media Composer, and Adobe Audition and am always eager to expand my skill set.
Currently pursuing a BA Hons degree in TV Production at the University of Gloucestershire, I have built a strong academic foundation in the field. Outside of my studies, I frequently explore my musical creativity through playing the guitar, recognizing the significant role that sound and music play in filmmaking. Additionally, my background in GCSE graphic design has allowed me to create compelling designs using Photoshop, some of which have won competitions, including a logo design for the band 'Kings Daughters,' mentored by renowned guitarist Brian May, for whom I also created a music video.
