MY EXPERIENCE WITH MEDIA
From a young age, I was exposed to the fascinating world of visual media, and it wasn’t long before I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in the film industry. To me, films contain an element of magic - the ability to transport us to another time and place, to bring out emotions and alter perceptions.
As a creative individual, these are some of the aspects that attracted me to get involved in this industry. I’ve had the chance to work on several projects, but am always looking for new opportunities to develop my skillset. Get in touch for additional information about my past work and current projects.

Skills & Expertise
'WHAT NOW?' PROJECT
January 2021 - February 2021
I worked in a group with 2 individuals who I had not met before to write, produce and edit a trailer. We were given a brief with specific instructions to follow to complete the task. This experience allowed me to improve my teamwork and communication skills. I also experienced completing media paperwork for the first time within this project.
INSIGNIFICANT LIFE - SHORT DOCUMENTARY
February 2021 - May 2021
For my Audio Visual Techniques module I had to write, direct and edit a 5 minute documentary on topic of my choice. I created a documentary revolving round the concept of the butterfly effect. I learnt a lot from this experience, mainly how scheduling is very important to be able to keep track and remain organised whilst producing a media project. I also really enjoyed working on this project as I was able to try out new things and develop my filmmaking skills further.
MULTIMEDIA NEWS STORY
May 2021 - June 2021
I created a multimedia news story revolving around the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Scotland for my journalism module. I had to upload this video to my website and also show an online presence on social media by sharing it on platforms like Instagram. This was a fresh new experience for me as I had never done anything journalism related, so I am glad I was able to complete this and get new journalism skills along the way.
