As a second year Creative Media student at Bournemouth and Poole College, my interest in

film production originates from my hobbies in videography and photography whilst living in
Qatar. I love capturing cinematic moments and places. Hence, a career in film production
would be a perfect career path for me. I frequently research online for influential artists,
photographers and videographers who currently inspire me, such as Harnett Media,
Billydee, Qmike and itsnedkelly.

My favourite style of filmmaking and photography incorporates travel, cars and landscapes.
I enjoy using different film stock and styles including the use of Kentmire X-Pan 400, Cinestill
and Kodak Gold in my photography while exploring picturesque spots around Dorset on my
motorbike.

During my studies, I have developed my skills using softwares such as Premiere Pro; After
Effects; Photoshop and Lightroom Classic; Animate and Cinema 4D. I am comfortable editing
videos, audios and photography using the above softwares and was recently nominated by
the lecturing staff to be the principal photographer at a live speaking event for an external
agency.

I particularly enjoyed producing a ten-minute documentary about the use of Artificial

Intelligence (AI) in photography. Out of my personal photographs, the photo of two camels
being led across a desert dunes in Qatar, with the Milky way in the background, is my
absolute favourite. To view my work please see my website nimacooper.com and Instagram
page nxbx Nima Cooper.

Furthermore, I have worked on developing my skills in the following areas: research and
analysis; report writing; pre-production essay writing; script writing; creating storyboards;
camera operation; high quality composition; use of colour; use of professional lighting; post-
production video editing and advertising/self-promotion. Key to my learning is working in
collaboration with other students and where applicable with the clients.

I have been successfully working as freelance photographer/videographer for over a year,

whilst attending full time education at Bournemouth and Poole College. This has presented
opportunities for me to work with a variety of clients such as Countryfare, Damario Pizzeria,
The Wrap Sanctuary, Carbonwurks, Hotel Collingwood, Post Bar Bournemouth, Waxr
Detailing, the Albion driving school, and Turkish Hairline barbershop. Recently, I was
recommended by my lecturing staff to the Worksity agency which facilitates collaboration
between students and local businesses for producing social media content. I have so far
completed three photography/videography projects for them.

Overall, I believe that my strengths, experiences and studying the creative media course at
BPC has provided me with a firm foundation for future studies. I am keen to broaden my
freelance opportunities and I believe your degree course will make this possible for me. I am
mostly looking forward to collaborating with other students such as videographers,
scriptwriters, actors, fashion and set designers to produce film and TV content.
