Personal Statement
In the future, I would like to go into working in the film industry as a director with many of
my interests revolve around leadership positions. I believe my skills are perfect for
becoming a director as I have strong leadership skills brought by personally directing
projects. Aside from this I am able to work as part of a team, which I think is important
when directing. I have in the past created a short horror trailer ‘Anathema’ and a music
video ‘Right My Wrongs’. I am good at looking at small details, which help me ensure that
there are no continuity errors within my work and all the crew and cast are comfortable
with their positions and the atmosphere. From my experience in past projects, it has
allowed me to have developed the skill of good time keeping, ensuring I keep to strict
deadlines, which are thoroughly needed for the role of a director. My interests are based
around how film and TV and my passion for television started at a young age as I would like
to keep an eye out for small details within the films and I’d make a list of movies to see,
from horror to 1950&60’s musicals, appreciating the time and styles and then comparing it
to the moderns advanced technology and how different the productions were over time.
