About Me

I’m a student at UCW currently studying Film and Media Productions in my third year.

I previously studied on level 2 and level 3 Film and Media production at Weston College. Level 2 was only for 1 year and as I didn’t have any film knowledge before going to college (there was a subject of any sort at my secondary school) I only got a pass. I didn’t think media was the right subject to be doing for me but I kept doing it and moved onto level 3. I started to enjoy it more and got my first merit grade when I did the trailer project, and after that my work improved with projects such as Music Video, Multi-Cam Show and Journalism.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish my FMP because of COVID-19 and lockdown so our final grade would be based on all our previous work. I thought I was going to get at least a merit, but I got a distinction instead which is one of my most proudest achievements to date.

Now I’m at UCW (University of Centre Weston) studying film and media production and continuing my journey to becoming a professional film maker.

From the 2 years on this course for my Foundation Degree, I got a Merit with 69.38%. Even though I was 0.62% from getting a Distinction I’m still proud about the grade I got. Now I’ll be going to do the third year for my Batchelor’s Degree.

Films and Projects

Major Project

This is my Final Major Project of being in UCW. This is an Experimental Video Installation called Day-to-Day, it shows everyday life of not just myself but also the world around us and it is meant to be looped to show it being repeated. This Installation was shown at the Cube Cinema in Bristol and the We Are Super Offices in the Sovereign Centre Weston.

Your Choice Short Experimental Film

This was the third and final project for Independent Practice called Your Choice. We were allowed to do whatever we wanted and I went with doing an Experimental short film all about Liminal Spaces. This has some brief information at the start then goes to a compilation of Liminal Space Pictures that I took over the space of 2 months. This Experimental is called The Art of Liminal Spaces.

I Remember - Short Film Production/Group Project

For this Project, we had to individually research, develop and pitch an idea for a short film to be shot at a place in South Wales, only one idea would get chosen. Kam’s idea got chosen and we would be producing a short film called My Brothers Keeper (later changed to I remember) and my job roles were Production Assistant, Clapper and Data Wrangler. Things get quite complicated after that but all is explained on my Weebly.

Weston College Winter Wonderland Variety Show 2021

This was a project that I helped with alongside Joe Miller (Lecturer in Performing Arts) and also helped out with my Collaborative Work-Based Practice. This was Weston Colleges yearly Variety Show for year 1 and 2 performing arts, this time taking place on The Grand Pier. What we were meant to do was a multi-cam for this show but many things happened (covid related and such) which ended up with me filming with only 1 C100 there then edited it all before the Christmas holidays. The video below is a rough draft the Joe wanted, there were some errors but can get fixed once I get the chance.

No Dialogue Short Film

This was the second project for Independent Practice called No Dialogue. What we had to do was to produce a short film that contains No Dialogue or Human Voices, it must also include at least 3 separate locations and cannot have any handheld camera shots (so it must all be on tripod only). I decided to make this about a person trying to draw a picture of what he’s seeing on the computer so he goes out to find his own picture, little does he know that this will just go full circle. This short film is called The Picture.

One Location Short Film (With/Without Voiceover)

This was my first project coming into the 2nd year of UCW and the first project for Independent Practice called Psychological Landscapes. What we had to do was to create a short film that is only shot in one location and it has to be personal to you. I chose to make it about myself getting distracted to video games which has be personal (and sort of a problem) to me and it’s called Distracted. Underneath are two different versions of my short film, one with Voiceover and one without Voiceover.

Everyday Activity Short Film

This was the first project I have produced in UCW. For this project, we had to create a short film about an everyday activity that we normally do on an everyday basis but change it using the language of ‘cinema’. I chose making a cup of tea and called it Cuppa.

Documentary

This is my documentary about filmmakers. This was unfortunately delayed because of the global pandemic but it has been completed now. I enjoyed doing this documentary more than the documentary I and 3 other students did back in level 3 year 1 Film and Media production at Weston college. I got a first in this project which I’m really proud of.

Experimental Media Project

On this project, I made a short video containing timelapses of the outside world. I filmed this around the easter holidays and as of the of the global pandemic that was still going on during this time, I could only do filming around Weston. So, I used some archived footage aswell.

Group Project

For this project, I and 4 other students filmed a short film in the Mendips. I was the Producer and 1st AD for this project. Jack Bailey was the Editor in this project.

Other Projects I’ve Created

Documentary

This was my first project that I did in level 3 year 1 Film and Media production back in Weston College. It was a documentary about bike helmets. I was Producer during this project and although the documentary didn’t come out that good during the editing, me and the others still enjoyed filming it.

Trailer

For this project, we had to create a trailer and me and my group created a Netflix thriller trailer called Phobophobia. This project was the first time I was able to achieve a distinction on the post production stage and a Merit the whole project for the first time which I was very pleased about. I was the Editor for this project.

Music Video

For this project, we had to create a music video, and me and my group created a music video with the song from the Bee Gees called Stayin’ Alive. Me and my group really enjoyed producing this music video and it even got nominated as one of the top 3 music videos from our year group and got to be shown at the tropicana along side the Year 2’s FMPs. I was the Producer and starred in this music video.

Multi Camera Project

For this project, We had to create a 10-15 minute live multi camera show. Me and two others created the concept of a show called Crep Check and it got chosen as 1 of the 3 ideas to create and we got more people to help for this show. I was the Vision Mixer of our group and I think that this was one of the best projects that I was able to create during my time on level 3 Film and Media production (from the intro jingle to all the mini games to our creps crown for the winning team).

42 Film

We did this at the start of level 3 year 2 Film and Media production at Weston College. This wasn’t a project but more so a task that I and everyone else from my year had to do. We had to go all around North Somerset and other place around the UK and film 42 different companies that have been nominated for an awards ceremony. I filmed and/or edited 5 of the 42 films.

Projects I have worked alongside with

Rough Draft (Will Stephens Your Choice Project)

I helped out Will’s Your Choice Project as mainly a Clapper and Data Wrangler, but also helped a bit as a Production Assistant, a Sound Operator and Runner too. This was the best and most fun production set that I have been on and I loved working alongside all the crew and cast throughout the production week.

It’s Your Body (Kam Stevens Conversation Project)

I helped out Kam’s conversation project out as a Clapper and Data Wrangler. I was given these roles on the day of the shoot and did this for 14 straight hours, it was grueling (as this has been the longest time that I’ve been on a production) but the knowledge I got from this project really paid off.
