of other roles such as directing and producing, as I will be
placed in real life scenarios where the skills I have learned
from the previous years, will be put into place to solve the
problems a director, producer or other job role in a
production company, would face. This will help me with
employment in the future as I will already have the
knowledge and understanding of how the job roles work and
what problems they might Face. By this point I will want to
have decided on what job role to focus on, so my efforts can
all be allocated to bettering myself for this job role.
3. My inspiration is the comedy duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, this is because from a young
age I have loved their movies they have created alongside Edgar Wright, such as โThe
Cornetto trilogy โShaun of the dead, hot fuzz and the worlds endโ alongside other movies
such as โTintin and Paulโ for both . Both also have had their fair share of success by
themselves such as โStar Trek, Ice Age and Mission Impossibleโ for Simon Pegg and
โCuban Fury, Attack the Block and Snow White and The Huntsmanโ (both movies) for Nick
Frost. The paths they have followed to get where they are has inspired me to want to do the
same creating movies for audiences to enjoy.
Nick frost was Nominated in 2004 for the British Independent Film Award for the Most
Promising Newcomer in the movie Shaun of the Dead (2004) alongside the Best Supporting
Actor in Shaun of the Dead (2004) and was Nominated in 2011 for the Performance of the
Year in Paul (2011).
Simon Pegg was nominated in 2002 for the BAFTA TV Award for the movie Spaced (1999)
which was shared with: Nira Park, Edgar Wright and Jessica Hynes for series II. In 2016 he
was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor in Mission: Impossible -
Rogue Nation (2015) in 2014 he was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actor in The
World's End (2013) he was also nominated for Best Writing for The World's End (2013)
which was shared with: Edgar Wright
Also in 2014 he was nominated for the American Comedy Award for Best Comedy Actor
during the Film the World's End (2013) alongside the Best Comedy Screenplay the World's
End (2013) Shared with: Edgar Wright.
2022 Employment By this point by gaining lots of knowledge, qualifications and
skills I want to be able to find work as more of a junior role in
a production company, as during my 4 years at university I
plan on finding work as a runner gaining work experience so
form this point onwards I can either start working as an
assistant producer, editor and work my way up to directing
the final role I l want to be placed in producing work for
major companies.
