About me

At present I have just finished my final year at Coventry University, achieving a first level degree in Media Production. My strengths lie in creativity and artistic design. I have professional experiences in photography, illustration, filmmaking and lighting. I have good organisational skills and work well independently as well as in a team. I am enthusiastic, polite, punctual, and reliable and have had previous employment experiences using these skills.
Additional information:
I currently have seven years training in Media Production. I started my studies in GCSE focusing on media theory, and then later continued studying at A level. I have just finished a three-year Media Production course at Coventry University with a first class BA Hons degree. This degree focused on all stages of media production giving me a well-rounded capability of working in any stage of film production. I have editing skills in Final Cut Pro X, I have passed a course in script writing, I have training in all equipment used by production crews on set from lighting, sound, and camera operation, I have developed pitching skills in front of large audiences. I have gained practical experience in film production over the last three years working in different production crews making short films, documentaries, television studio programs, promotional video adverts, and radio plays. I have also completed courses in Theatre stage Lighting and sound, and Flash Animation.

I would value the opportunity to use the skills I have developed in the past seven years and work on new projects.
