• YEAR 1: In the first year the course provides you with a fast-moving introduction to a broad range of film
production techniques. You will collaborate in groups to create films in a range of different styles. You will learn
how to develop ideas into compelling stories, how to plan and run shoots, how to direct for single camera on
location and multi-camera in the studio, how to get the best out of your camera, sound and lighting kits and
how to edit and grade. You’ll also learn key concepts in critical film theory and explore and analyse the evolution
of film.
• YEAR 2: In the second year you build further on your filmmaking skills with longer and more challenging
assignments, and have the chance to develop your own creative interests with a choice of options from the
techy end of post production and film VFX to the contrasting skills of scriptwriting and working with actors.
Everyone takes a module in professional practice which runs throughout the year and encourages you to seek
work experience and start developing your professional networks. Learning about the theory of different film
genres is combined with practical exercises in production.
• YEAR 3: In your final year you develop your chosen specialist interests to advanced level, collaborate and
innovate in producing film projects that cross traditional boundaries, apply theoretical knowledge of film
distribution to promoting your own outputs and work on a major project of your own choosing to create film
that will be your calling card to industry.

Statement
Support in the notes section at the bottom of each slide

18. Academic History
• In the duration of my academic life I have studied quite a few different
subject; with the required English Literature and Language, Mathematics
and Trippel Science being subjects I have studied. As well as the selected
subjects of Computer Science, German, Business and Creative Imedia.
• In Imedia we studied copy right laws, basic photoshop and video editing
(using Imovies). We made basic short videos and posters. I feel as though
this project was a good introduction to using photoshop for me, as well as
learning how to use different video editing software.
• I also took A-level Business, Maths and Computer Science for 2 weeks, and
ended up realising it was not for me. This resulted in my realising my
passion for film and changing from A-levels to a media course at York
College.
• At Highschool I also did drama for 3 years, while also participating in a
drama club that was only open for year 7’s in my first year of high school,
and being involved in my School House performance of Anne.

19. Current Study
Currently I am doing an Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production (LV3). The
course is wonderful at preparing me for further advancement in the film industry, as
it has and is providing me with a wide range of knowledge on: pixel animation,
sound design, photography, photo editing using photoshop and video editing. The
course will also provide me with more specialised knowledge, as I have selected
video/camera work as my subject for the second year of the course.
This course has provided me with the creative freedom to create my projects, while
also educating me on aspects of film that I never new about before. It has been a
great introduction into the film industry. I have developed my editing skills using
Premiere Pro, ability to use DSLR cameras, tripods, green screens, my skill with
adobe audition, my skill with photoshop and my ability to plan and asses my own
work, as well assessing others. This has lead to me wanting to study film even more
enthusiastically, as I have learnt things about motion, shape theory, lighting and
composition which I never included in prior work, but wish to focus on in further
projects.

20. The Future
My ultimate goal at the moment is to eventually be a
director/screen writer of my own big budget films.
University is a stepping stone for this career path, as Uni
will provide a educational environment where I will be
able to develop my skills and understanding of film. I will
also be surrounded by like minded individuals (professors
and students) who will help me to further develop my
skills and passion, while making connections and friends
in the industry who can help me develop as a
professional, and as a person. The are also a lot of
workshops and other opportunities that University
provide, that I believe will be of great benefit to me (as I
want to participate in as much as I possibly can).

21. Outside College
Outside of college I have learnt quite a lot.
Outside of college I edit YouTube videos, make thumbnails and icons.
I participated in Sea Cadets for Two and a Half years before deciding to leave.
I often volunteered at the Knaresborough library, as I went to a club at the
local library. We hosted events for the local community, such as a harry potter
workshop and an Alice in Wonder land Tea Party, both of which where for
primary school kids. I am not able to go very much anymore, as college
days/times prevent me from going very often. However I participate whever I
can on Wednesdays I am not at college.

22. Outside College
I first started leaning to edit near the beginning of 2018, after I had seen a video presentation in
my French class (from a previous years presentation). Inspired by the presentation on French
speaking countries, I started learnt how to use the mobile software called ‘iMovies Mobile’, and
made a video presentation for my German class, with my project getting voted as the best in the
class. This lead me onto starting to do YouTube videos: playing mobile games with my friends and
trying other forms of content, such as vlogs. Through editing for my old YouTube channel, I was
able to develop my editing skills and eye for editing over the period of doing this, watching
tutorials and finding creative ways around the limits of editing on a phone: such as creating my
own green screen effects by using a photo editing app and the video software.
Towards the end of 2019 I first started using the Adobe software known as Premiere Pro, with me
first learning it so that I could edit an informational series of videos for my Stepmothers physio
company (Peak Physiotherapy) on how to use a certain management software for clients and
diary’s. After getting semi competent with the software I started to use it for my YouTube videos,
learning from tutorials how to use the software and achieve certain effects that I wanted in the
videos. I had quite a few YouTube channels and have developed my skills very well from them (I
will link certain videos and channels on the next slide).
I also learnt how to edit photos using photoshop and mobile software, as well as learning how to
start targeting my videos towards an audience.
Doing YouTube was a really great reason to develop my editing skills, and is probably the biggest
factor that has lead me onto the path of wanting to work in the film industry. YouTube is also
something that I will continue to uses as a means to develop my editing and filming skills, be that
videos for myself of for friends who wish for help in starting off.

23. Conclusion
• I want to go to University because of the
opportunities and further learning it will
provide. It will help me to get my footing in
the industry and become much more
knowledgeable. I believe I am a good
candidates as I am studious and have a
burning passion for film and digital creation.

24. Introduction
Hi, my name is Charlie Stevens and I want to go
to University so to develop my skills and
understanding of film. I wish to gain a footing in
the film industry and eventually move onto
making my own professional and big movies.
University is one of the first steps in reaching for
my goals. It will surround me with like minded
individuals who are as passionate as I am, and I
hope that we will be able to raise each other up
to new hights as we learn and work along each
other

25. Year 1 Review

26. Which projects have you enjoyed most
this year & why?
I would say that I have definitely enjoyed the FMP the most this year. My
reasoning for this is the creative freedom that it allows, as well as the great
amount of work we put into it.
The filming, panning and editing of the FMP have allowed me to learn new
skills and develop ones I already had. I have learnt many new editing
techniques and effects for Premier Pro, camera skills and knowledge (that I
did not have prior) and started learning how to manage actors.
Writing about my project and planning it have allowed me to realise flaws
that my work had, and how I would go about things differently. For example
when cutting, I generally didn’t have the point of focus located in the same
areas. I did not realise that the shutter speed and IOS should be at the same
level. I need to keep footage a similar warmth when filming on a different
camera. All of these are things that I will most definitely work towards and
learn from in future projects.

27. Which projects have you least enjoyed
[& why]?
The project I enjoyed the least was the
animation aspect of Adventure. I did not dislike
this project, however I found the animation the
least enjoyable out of all other projects. I prefer
doing video related projects, and animation
takes a lot of effort for very little output, where
as with video I would have more time to plan
and think about what it was I wanted to
do/convay.

28. What is you biggest success
• I would say my biggest success has been my
FMP (more so the interview). I believe this to
be my biggest success, as it has allowed me to
show some of the skills and development that
I have made/learnt this year. It has definitely
been the highest quality piece of work that I
have made, as well as the one that I have put
the most effort into.

29. What has been your biggest mistake in
coursework
I would say that my biggest mistake this year has also been
apart of my FMP, more specifically the trailer. I had originally
planned to have quite a lengthy trailer, however my script and
editing left me with a lot less footage than I first thought. This
lead to a much less visually appealing project, and to me
creating an interview bit of work to go with it, so to show my
work and skill off more clearly.
This has lead me to the conclusion that when I have a project
in the future, I need to film and plan a lot more footage than I
need. It is better to have more than I need, rather than none
at all. This is because you can still make your project the
length and quality that you want with too much footage, and
can not make much with too little footage.

30. Which skills do you think you have
develop most?
I think this year I have developed my time management,
editing and camera skills the most. I have learnt how to
effectively manage time through constantly leaving
myself with too little time at the start of the year, with
me leaning to give myself more contingency for aspects
that can take longer than planned. I have developed my
editing skills with Premier Pro this year, reaching a new
more skilful level. My camera skills are still quite basic,
but I have developed a lo from never having used a
camera at all, to understanding how they operate and
how to use them well. I have also learnt how to edit
audio with Adobe audition and record my own audio
effects, which is something I had no prior experience
with.

31. What area are aiming to specialise in
during Year 2?
For year 2 I want to specialise in film/video
production. This fits my goals for the future as I
want to eventually produce my own feature films,
and focusing in film and video production will help
lead onto this. I enjoy the editing process, creative
planning process and filming processes; these
aspects are all related to film/video production and
will help me be more knowledgeable on the
processes that go into making films, and aspects I
have to consider when making/planning my own
films.
