Growing up, I was always interested in understanding how things work, and nothing

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.

It would be an excellent opportunity to enroll in this course, as it will allow me to gain


more knowledge on different areas of film and explore many more ways to apply my
creativity. It will allow me to grow as a person, teaching me new skills I can use to
reach my goal of a career in the film industry.
