    Learnt about using Kodak film, loading magazines with 35mm film and Panavision equipment before going on location to be taught by NFTS tutors, where I listened to suggestions before making my last decision on how to film and pan with the actor. I then returned the week after to learn about colour grading of my processed shots.

    2:1 BA Digital Film and Television Production (Hons)University of Bradford
     - Bradford, United Kingdom
    Throughout the course, I have been taught how to improve my sound and pace of editing. As an example of troubleshooting through my issues, I was criticised for going through the footage, that I was given to edit, way too quickly during an editing test before the start of our Factual Production project. In hindsight, I should have chosen a bit of footage to focus on for a few seconds at a time, hence I now keep this in mind each time I edit. I have managed to lock down the filming skills that I have been studying from college and I continued to practice scriptwriting. Outside of my course, I have also been doing weekly radio shows on RamAir Radio and curating my show's music, as well as assisting in each week's station meeting as a producer. Externally, I have also been taught on how to arrange music permissions by getting access to a PRS license for film or television.
