Background
My interest in Camera operation and television began at the age of 14 when I recorded my Nan's golden wedding anniversary party. From here I knew I wanted to take this further. I started studying Television at the age of 16 when I studied a two year National Diploma in Moving image at the colchester Institute, Essex. I created promotional shorts, documentaries, music pop video's and directed a single camera drama. I obtained 3 distinctions, equivalent to three A grades at A-Level and received a distinctive work in media award.
I am now a recent graduate in Broadcast Television Production at the University of Westminster, London. During my 3 year course I undertook several productions. I was producer for an as-live multi-camera show in the studio which was a huge success. I made my own promotional advertisements, a creative video and my most memorable experience was as camera operator for my final major project - a documentary on Circus life in France which is, at a later date, being entered into festivals.
