About me
I am an MSc graduate in Cinematography and Post-Production from Greenwich University. I also have a BA degree in Film Production. During my masters I specialised in camera work and acquired skills such as operating various cameras (Film camera, Red One, Arri Alexa, EX3, Canon 5D and glidecam), composition, framing, working with a variety of lenses and operating a dolly and track. I also acquired editing and scriptwriting experience.As well as being technically familiar with cameras I have creativity and artistic flare when it comes to the look of moving images. I can also set up lighting equipment for interior scenes.
During both my degrees I made several short films for which I took on various responsibilities for the entire shoot, primarily the camera operator. I have also made other short films during my own time which I have edited on my home computer.
I have written many scripts of my own, both feature-length and short. I learned how to write scripts during my degrees in which I was taught both basic and advanced script writing modules. I learned about treatments, script format and structure, different genres and how to use Final Draft.
In general I am a hardworking and punctual individual who will always do my best with whatever job to which I am assigned.
