University of Warwick - 1st Year

 This year I started my university experience at University of Warwick doing Media and Creative Industries.  My course is split into three sections each year, being industry, theory and practice.  I completed this year with a 2:1 and received a 1st for my practice module.  

In my practice module, we were given the poem 'A Vision' by Simon Armitage as the stimulus and created a transmedia production in a group of 3.  I focused specifically on a documentary as I wanted to broaden my knowledge on the area.  Our group brought our sections together in a virtual exhibition.  

Here is my documentary:

And here is our virtual exhibition:

Radio Show

In 2019, two colleagues and I had the opportunity to present our own radio show, along with a few other people from our school, on ARA City Radio, a national Luxembourgish radio station and internationally accessible online.  In the beginning, we were on air once a month, but due to positive reception, we were able to get two shows in per month.  Each show is an hour long and we typically discuss current events or play games which involves audience engagement.  Back in 2019, we were pre-recording and editing our shows on the software Audacity, but over time we had the confidence to do live shows and haven't looked back.

A2 Media Studies

Myself and a colleague worked together to create a music video to the song all the good girls go to hell by Billie Eilish in our A2 Media Studies class.  This was the most gratifying and fulfilling experience to see all my hard work in something I'm so proud of.  This is the specific text I reference in question 1. Final Music Video: We worked together to film, direct and edit this video.  To show my personal work, here is the first draft which I edited: Click here to see my blog which includes all of my research and the process to get to the final product. Here is a lyric video I created: To acknowledge the progress of the journey, here is the first ever sample scene: Here are some of my other sample scenes: For our coursework, I also created a Twitter account for this artist.

My YouTube Channel

I have my own YouTube channel where I upload videos of my experiences and adventures.  Due to convergence, I can film on my iPhone with 4k.  In this Spain 2020 video, I experimented a lot on Final Cut Pro X including using LUTs colour grading for the first time, as well as downloading different plugins for effects and transitions.  In one scene where we jump into the pool and the camera goes underwater, I went as far as editing the sound to emphasise this. I created my first YouTube channel in 2016 with my friend.  We would film, edit and upload videos on a regular basis.  This is what introduced me to my passion of creating and producing videos.  We would use a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ55 camera and edit on iMovie.   I have numerous videos of experiences I shared with my friends and family which I have kept unlisted.  Here are a couple of others:
