Personal Statement
Support in the notes section at the bottom of each slide
Introduction
• I want to study Film, Music and Sound at
university level. I want to go to university so I
can progress further in these fields so I am
able to progress into an industry career..
Academic History
• During high school I studied photography
GCSE, which has given me a lot of knowledge
to do with cameras, photo editing software
and film editing software, which I think is
necessary and useful information to have for
most of the courses I am applying for.
Current Study
• Currently I am studying Extended Diploma in
Creative Media Production and Technology at York
College. This course has helped me gain a lot of skills
that I can transfer across to the course I want to do. I
have made music videos, podcasts and magazines
which have given me valuable skills with audio
editing, Adobe Premier, Photoshop and Adobe
InDesign. I want to progress further with these skills
at university because I feel they would be really
valuable in later life, with a lot more jobs needing
people who have these skills.
The Future
• In the future I want to work in the film, media
or music industries and continuing my study
will develop my knowledge and provide me
with additional experience in these areas.
Outside College
• Outside of college I am in a band, playing guitar,
keyboard and working on general production of
tracks and sound engineering. Doing this has
given me a lot of relevant skills in music
production and some knowledge of music theory.
I have worked as a mechanic in a bike shop and
currently work part time at a garage when not
studying at college. These jobs have allowed me
to improve my communication and team working
skills as well as learning financial responsibility.
