About me

I have always been interested in working in Film/TV Production when I took A Level Film Studies and AS Level Media during college, with my passion for the subjects progressing throughout those 5 years of Further Education. When beginning my studies, I had no idea of how diverse and creative this industry can be, so by applying to jobs via Reed I aim to be engage with a wide variety of projects. Doing my BA Hons in Film helped me pursue my passion in particular, as I was able to explore a theoretical and productive field of Film (in addition to Television) and realise that I want to work in this field.

During University I was able to work on a diverse range of projects, such as a short documentary, a sound piece working with Adobe Audition and a series of nostalgic films for people living with Dementia. In these instances, I found myself taking the role of Producer as I took charge of subject matter, location and contacts alongside other matters. Due to University, therefore, it is Production department that I am interested in the most but also hope to take part as a Researcher. My experience in the field also derives from my time working as an Assistant Producer for RTR TV, as I worked alongside a small team in order to produce and edit Corporate videos and a Television serial. Although I only worked there for a month or so, I currently freelance for them in order to gain experience and knowledge. Therefore, I hope to transfer my knowledge from University into the workplace and I am very eager to get started!
