Final year BA (Hons) Film and Media student at The University of Stirling, passionate about the technical and creative aspects of camera operation. Currently seeking kit room assistant opportunities to enhance production equipment handling knowledge.

I am particularly interested in low light, nighttime video, which I have a range of experience in outside of university. I founded my YouTube channel 'Helena's Astrophotography' in 2019 to document my journey into astrophotography. I have produced content on amateur astrophotography, covering equipment for various budgets, photo editing tutorials, and short films of myself under dark skies. Most recently, my short film 'Capturing Light in the Dark' was selected and screened by the Cine-Somnia Film Collective.

I have since worked with organisations including Wigtown Book Festival, Wigtown Big Bang Weekend, Kielder Observatory and Sky-Watcher USA on different forms of media to get people excited about the night sky.

I have just completed a placement with Channel 44 in Adelaide, Australia, as part of a semester of study abroad with Flinders University. During my three months with them, I gained experience operating B cameras in festival environments, and at Flinders University itself gained experience camera operating for a short documentary production.

Recently, I finished Channel 4's Virtual Work Experience programme, which gave me a strong understanding of the collaboration between departments to create live broadcasts and on-demand services.

During high school, I took part in projects with Urbancroft Films, Purple Box Productions, and CBBC Dengineers. Read Less
