About Me

Bath, Avon, United Kingdom
Currently reading BA (hons) Creative Writing at the prestigious Bath Spa University. In my spare time I write short stories and journalism, but also enjoy film-making. I have written for Total Guitar and The Bath Chronicle and am due to work on The Times and The Mail on Sunday book review sections during Summer 2010, in the hope of one day doing it full time . Last year I worked as a Producer on the student drama, Liquid Soap which has won a Royal Television Society award.

The Premiere

Voyeur's première: the chance to bask in the success of completing the film

Okay, so the evening didn't go according to plan, and our film was shown a total of three times due to technical problems- after the initial gut feeling, it turned out to be quite amusing, even though I knew the theatre had forfeited any chance of us winning anything. Though,  I am so proud of what we- two amateur film-makers have achieved, and the evening went on in good spirit, with some great film techniques on offer. My favourite camera angle of the evening was The Interview's motion through the prison corridor at the beginning - fantastic.

I have taken so much from this module, I can now:

  • Work efficiently towards a schedule
  • Write a script with more conviction than before
  • Manage people with empathy and tact
  • Appreciate the technical aspects of shooting a film- equipment and planning-risk assessments, casting and so on.
I am now looking forward to taking the skills I have learnt into next years creative film modules! 

Carry on making film!
