Studying
film and TV production at college has massively sparked my
creative capability to write, direct and create great projects across a
wide range of genres. I have worked on multiple projects throughout my 2 years
at college and have had experience on every role on multiple different
projects. From this, I have learnt about cinematography, screenwriting,
directing and producing. The aspect of filmmaking that I have a passion for is
screenwriting and directing, which I hope to pursue in the future.
Showreel 2019 to 2020
This is a showreel showcasing all of my proudest projects that I have worked on throughout the two years.
'Picture Perfect Christmas' is a student made John Lewis inspired Christmas advert. This was my first big project that directed. Directing is the aspect of filmmaking that I am most passionate about and this project was the beginning of this passion.
The passion for directing was secured when creating a music video 'Free Falling' for an local artist Leuk. I was director along side one of my classmates, which allowed me to expand my knowledge and experience for film directing.
Doing podcast allowed me to explore a different aspect of media. Learning about different microphone uses and the different exposure of sounds has allowed me to use this knowledge throughout other projects.
Screenwriting - "With A Little Help From My Friends"
"With a Little Help From My Friends", is a short screenplay about a group of four friends set in the 70s. I wrote this before the first lockdown and was hoping to make it as my first year final project, however was unable to do this due to the national lockdown. This screenplay is massively inspired by the Beatles personal life story and throughout it has references to the Beatles and the 1970's. I am very passionate about this story and hope that one day I am able to make this in the future. This is the first screenplay I had written and this emphasised my passion for screenwriting.
Lockdown Short Film - "Patient 03"
Due to being unable to do an end of year short film, insteadI made a one minute non-dialogue short film, centred around the theme isolation. This was filmed during the first lockdown meaning that I had to take on each role when filming as I had no help. This was very challenging because there was lots of restrictions but I was able to use my creative ability and use everything in my household to my advantage.
My first major project during my second year of college was a Hallmark style short Christmas film called "Belief". I was able to enhance my writing and directing skills, this further secured my passion for writing screenplays and being able to make your story come to life, through directing.
I confirm that the attached portfolio is all my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone other than myself. Pre - Production UAL: Project proposal - https://drive.google.com/file/d/11EbJzUy_jHOe3d2DtJWSAvM5gGWz73bY/view?usp=sharing My idea I wanted to make a coming of age story about teenage friends, as this is something that everyone can relate to and something I could now. Coming of age story's are one of my favourite genre in cinema so I believed it was perfect for me to create one. The story follows an older Trevor as he notices some teenage lads having a laugh with each other. This then spurs the memory of his friends and he takes a trip down memory lane. Back to 1977, he and his three-childhood friends Jude, Gary and Winston. Summer was close to ending so they wanted to have a night to remember, an adventure to their local pub. Trevor and Winston shared their issues and they help. Trevor opens up about his dad’s death. Winston, th...
1. Understanding the characteristics and context of Christmas films Researching the Hallmark Channel When we were given our brief, I needed to accumulate research about Christmas films and how they have been created in the past and how they have changed. I wanted to do further research in the hallmark channel and look at their style of programming, the typical narrative tropes of the genre and investigate their successes and failures. During my research I watched many hallmark films on the hallmark channel, in hallmark Christmas films, the world is often idealized and only interested in Christmas, which is nothing like reality. At its core it is aspirational and the message that I perceived from the hallmark channel in general is that each movie often tries to echo the joy and innocence we felt as children during the festive season. The Hallmark channel often follows the same narrative formula throughout their many films. There is usually a woman facing relatable stresses, includin...
Our Podcast Conspiracy Show Podcast Task 1 Comparison of Two Podcasts For part of task one we had to carry out an analysis of two different podcasts currently on the market and what makes them unique, for this I have decided to look at an interview/talk show-based podcast and a story based podcast. I looked at the most popular podcast on the platform ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. Joe Rogan is a commentator for the UFC and runs the number 1 podcast on the platform. Joe Rogan is so popular because he is very well known and respected. He has had multiple big guests on, including Elon Musk, Mike Tyson and more. On the podcast there is a new topic every 10 minutes meaning the conversation never dies out. The whole podcast is just Joe Rogan having a conversation with a big celebrity. Joe Rogan also has a podcast with his friends, this is where they just talk about the current events going on in the world now. On the ‘Joe Rogan experience’ all the audio/footage for the po...
