About me

I have had the opportunity to study the theoretical aspects of film and television during my degree, but would really like to work in the industry in order to put the knowledge I have gained into practice.
I am a confident and organised individual, who works harmoniously in a team, but just as keenly when working independently. I have also worked on many independent projects from essays that required extensive research to my independent film 'Selene'. My academic background has allowed me to work well under pressure in order to meet deadlines, whilst also enabling me to become a more critical and analytical thinker, developing great writing and grammar skills.
During my B.A, the group projects that I took part in made me realise that I am an excellent crew member, who works well with others. I found it easy to carry out tasks such as finding locations for shootings, casting, and carrying out auditions. I have also worked on low budget film productions, working on a variety of tasks such as raising funds, creating production schedules, translating scripts as well as getting into contact with council authorities for permission in shooting locations. In my Master's degree, I realised the ease I feel in working independently, especially in conducting in-depth research for materials to use in my dissertation for which I was awarded a Distinction. I also found it rather gratifying to use my analytical skills in order to correct structural details in essays and texts, always finding myself to be rather a perfectionist in terms of revising material and making it as clear as possible to any audience, not only academic readers.
