Summary

I have plenty of experience working with other people as in both my previous positions I would have to not only socialise with other employees but work with them in order to complete a task or scene. I believe that ive gained experience from the A-levels that I have completed such as financial skills as well as promotional marketing with Travel and tourism and my Business and Financing classes.

At Ni-extras i was casted into 2 different movies. The Windermere children was my first movie and I was filming for that for around a month and featured in multiple scenes aswell as even having my own scene.

The second movie I was in, I was filming for that for only a day and only had one scene. In these movies I

  • Displayed accurate portrayal of character by strictly adhering to director's instructions.
  • Demonstrated adaptability by taking on various roles in multiple genres.
  • And maintained professional behaviour on set for seamless filming process.
