Filmmaking 2020

For me, creating films is about capturing memories. Growing up, I'd make short films on family holidays, which we now can hold onto forever. This creative passion for filmmaking continued into adulthood. I enjoy being behind the camera, but it’s in the editing process where I find my freedom, and have the skills needed to make a great final cut.

I work in Premiere Pro, but I’m also learning After Effects to enhance my creativity. My organised workflow is complemented by a balance of efficiency, and also having an eye for the smaller details; which is crucial when

working with large files. I can also communicate well with peers to express an idea, and have in-depth discussions with clients about what they want from a project.

Going forward, I plan to continue developing my editing skills and learning more about the editing world, whilst working in the field.
