Production History:
Salvation (Feature Film) - 2014
My final piece for MA Film Production; a feature length film revolving around the breakdown in reality for one man as his world literally falls apart.
In this I worked as Editor, Boom Operator, Sound Engineer, Assistant Producer, Assitant Director of Photography.
We worked with a base three man crew stretching from Pre-Production all the way through to Post.
Television & Radio Sports News Updates - 2012
Director - TV
Producer - Radio
As part of my Journalism Degree, we had to create a weekly Sports News show.
I operated as the Director for the television segment, running a team of seven other students & my roles included vision and sound mixing.
My role within the radio side was as the producer of the bulletin & was also in control of the sound board.
News History:
Chorley Guardian (2012) - Sports Reporter (Work Experience)
During my time in Chorley I was taken on as a sports reporter however due to the small staffing team flexibility was the name of the game. The stories I covered varied from interviewing professional boxers & tennis prodigies; to article detailing local embroidery classes & chatting with Pixie Lott!
BBC Radio Solent (2010), Sports Reporter (BBC Blast Scheme)
Over the course of 8 weeks I undertook the BBC Blast scheme. My roles early on during the process were simple editing tasks; for example editing radio highlights from cricket matches & interviews for broadcast. This progressed through to live reporting of non-league football matches during the weekends feature match, and running the Solent social media sites during games.
Recent Work Experience
Checco's Preston - Assistant Manager (April 2014-Present)
Having been headhunted for Checco’s; I have worked to increase wet sales by 20% per week. To do this I have (re)introduced the use of social media to help promote the restaurant as the business’ various social media accounts had become inactive. I also introduced staff training to include better product knowledge & improve speed of service. I have also written and created a new and more encompassing drinks menu. And my day to day tasks include opening/closing & helping cash up.
