13. Personal Statement
I am applying for these courses because media is something that really interests me. I think it's very relevant in this
generation and it's important to me to know how the media can make people feel certain things through simple
techniques. I think people don't look at media the same and print is often disregarded unless it's mainly web based. I
would really like to continue and education within the media to improve my knowledge and eventually get a job
working within the industry. I think I would be a great student to take onto the course as I am independent but can also
work in a team and I am confident and I think I'd I would be a great addition to any course. My aspirations within media
are not completely clear however I am excited to invest more time into exploring the subject and getting to realise a
real career aspiration for after university. My skills have definitely grown within my time at college. I have gained skills
on things such as Photoshop, InDesign and also just more creative ways of thinking within writing and designing. For
college I started in 2016 doing A Levels however I did not enjoy these therefore I enrolled for creative media in 2017.
Within my first year of doing Creative media at college I created a short film which I filmed myself and edited. I also did
some foley work with this project and added some extra sound effects to the film post-editing to make the sound
effects and the music I'd added stand out more within this film. I also worked on a video game with pixel art, which I
designed myself and came up with the idea myself, this was a simple platform game but I did all the artwork myself and
also did the animation on Photoshop before adding sound effects and music. Additionally I did a magazine which was
based around fashion and it was a great project that I thoroughly enjoyed and is the reason I chose to do print within
my second year. I enjoyed the photography and all of the design work for the magazine and working out a colour
scheme and a whole theme for the magazine. I then went on to do my final major project which was a fashion
magazine. I really enjoyed writing the articles for this and doing the photography for this project. So much so that for
my second year I have gone into doing print and I am now working on a fanzine for my first project based around music
which I'm very excited to do production for. In school, I won the endeavour award. This amplifies the fact that I will
always put in 100% effort into everything I do. Within my spare time I really enjoy photography and writing. I love
writing articles for my projects at college and I also enjoy all types of photography. I've worked within retail a few times
and that's definitely improved my confidence and experience with speaking to the public. I cannot wait to be able to
work with different people and see what university can bring to me and what I can bring to the course.
