I was asked to create a training video for the Brooke. This involved me operating the camera, recording audio and editing. I learnt that you have to be ready to be thrown out of your comfort zone at a moments notice as I was asked if it was possible if we could film on the horse carriage whilst moving, which I obliged (whilst following safety laws) for the best interest of the client. It also taught me to prepare for anything and pack the necessary equipment. One big thing also was that I got chance to work to a uniform standard of a big international company that taught me what is expected of me in corporate content creation.

I have experience dealing with the general public, ensuring that all customers were satisfied and were left feeling good about their experience at our store. This has given me chance to develop social skills and taught me how to deal with people in business.

Whilst doing voluntary work for the Badger Way YouTube channel, I got to be apart of a 7 man crew. I learnt how to take instructions and follow them but also be able to receive multiple instructions and prioritise them according to their importance. I got to even try my hand at a small role in production design when the director issued me with a job to organise part of set. My experience has shown me what it's like to really be on set and meet new like minded people working together.

During my time at College I had chance to explore my style as a film maker whilst also learning the fundamentals. I learnt how to use Adobe suite in extent over my time. I would say my most time was spent learning skills in premiere pro but since then I have learnt davinci resolve too.

I am currently studying at The Manchester Film school to enhance my skills I have already learnt at College with the aim to break into the industry as well as working on my studies.
