  • Holborn children's Charity Arts Centre
    Holborn children's Charity Arts CentreDuring the summer of 2016, I volunteered to take part in a 4-week film programme, that would equip me with the basic skills of learning how to create a film, in a group of other young people. Learning how to edit footage on Finalcut Pro, to taking behind the scene shots of the filming process, and even coordinating an exhibition of my photography on set.

    Bronze Arts AwardArts Award
    Completed through my work experience at the London Transport Museum. A bronze arts award requires a series of skills: documentation of the project, in which I created my own physical portfolio of my work, whilst on work experience. I carried two presentations, one dedicated to artists whom, I find influential and another on a skillset that I could demonstrate and then teach others how to create for themselves.

    Silver Arts AwardHolborn 1A arts Centre
    I was awarded a Silver arts award, during my time at Holborn 1A arts Centre, shown in my project above. Similarly to the Bronze, Silver requires certain skills, such as documenting the filming process, which was done through Tumblr. It also pushed me to try different roles whilst creating the film, such as videographer, scriptwriter and gaffer. I had to evidence all my work online and also create a physical portfolio of all my photos that I had taken during the film.
