Key Personal Statement
intrigued me more than the media presented to me. Film, TV, and video games
created fascinating worlds I could explore, leaving me with creative inspiration and a
sense of wonder. After looking at the range of career options in the film industry, I
am particularly interested in post-production and how the audio and editing of a film
can help with the immersion of the viewer.
When I was 13, I got into video editing while trying to make content for my YouTube
channel. I started with essential, free editing software and started playing around
with all the features, teaching myself how to do some basic editing and building up
my skill set. Once I had entered College, I took an IT course that expanded my
knowledge using Adobe software, but it was not until this year, when I returned to
College for my Access to HE Media course, that I discovered how much I enjoyed
editing. From editing all the sounds for a movie clip, repurposing footage to create an
original piece, and working together to produce a film, my exposure to media
production has been exciting and furthered my passion.
I have experience working within teams to achieve mutual goals - retail and sales
work gave me the upper hand in communication and working within teams,
especially in high-pressure situations. My hobbies have helped within my endeavors
on my course; I consume media such as film and video games but also produce
media for friends such as dungeons and dragons campaigns. I love to analyze the
worlds created by others technically and creatively to help me develop and learn as
a creator. The skills gained from my teamwork and development experience will
allow me to flourish in a course in film.
