Dissertation topic allowed for ability to improve upon independent research skills, in addition to prioritization skills, keeping to strict self-implemented deadlines alongside other paid commitments and voluntary roles. Its title was 'The Changing Faces of Sweeney Todd: An analysis of his laughter and revenge.' Starting with the original penny dreadful in 1846, it looks at his theatrical, musical, and filmic versions, proving his identity as a villain rather than an anti-hero. This Master’s additionally consisted of delivering a presentation as a group on the history of St Paul’s Cathedral, cultivation teamwork and communication skills; a written piece on cinematic and literary adaptations during the World Wars, such as The Pianist by Roman Polanski, and Le Silence de la Mer by Jean-Pierre Melville, as well as a life writing of the eighteenth century module, focusing on travel writing, as well as one on the Twentieth Century City, including literature, film, architecture, and art of major cities.
First Class Honours in Film Studies BA Hons.

Third year included a photography project using Adobe Photoshop based on London and memory, in addition to a short story inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, requiring much research into the literary modernist movement, whilst keeping to strict deadlines, and working under pressure to meet them.

Second year consisted of a media theory course, furthering research skills particularly into social media and its societal interactions, particularly presentation of the self on social media, and disparity between the online and real self. In an adaptations module, focused on how novels were translated into film, developing analytical skills.
First year incorporated creating two short-films as a group. Individual responsibilities for the first film included planning and taking accountability for time management, as well as acting as a group mediator for any problems that arose and reprioritizing to meet deadlines. Group responsibilities included brainstorming and research into innovative film topics, editing using Final Cut Pro; setting up film equipment, location scouting. The second film was an experimental short-film on drugs, which has since been shown in UK schools as part of The University of Heidelberg’s anti-drugs awareness campaign. Contributed towards the editing, as well as writing the script along with other team members, resulting in research on how drugs affect behaviour.
