Personal Profile

I am an aspiring student who is aiming to achieve highly within the Media Industry primarily as a Director or Producer within film and TV sector of the industry. I really enjoy the idea of being behind a camera and guiding groups of people to push past their limits and work as hard as the can to create something that we can all be proud of when we finish. 

I consider myself to be very creative, passionate and determined when it comes to film and TV, this is because I find them to be great distractions from the real world and could be classed as an "escape" from their problems. I want to be a person who creates these escapes and inspire people to be more than themselves and become an influence on the future generations.

I like to keep myself busy and I know that working on a set can be one of the busiest jobs in the modern world. This is because the Media Industry is one of the worlds fastest paced careers in the world as you might be working on more than one project at a time and you always have to be ready and prepped for your responsibility. I feel like I'd fit into this industry as I like to be busy and have something to do and working on a film would be my first choice on doing so.

I am aiming to start University in September to further my knowledge within film and TV production with the hope that it leads to a job within the industry when I complete my studies.
