I will start a new job at the Vue Cinema, in April giving me more knowledge of consumers, distribution and synopsis of films– Part Time to save up money for future film courses that I will go on and Film Festivals I shall put my work into. Beginning with Met Film School in September 2016, their Week-End course, ‘Introduction to Editing’. This will give me more knowledge within the techniques of editing mainly on Adobe Premiere Pro. This is a practical course so I will be gaining hands on experience with a professional tutor whom I will give them my contacts for future business. During Summer 2016, I will make one Short Film to upload onto my YouTube account with 50,000 subscribers having already uploaded 5 within the last 9 years starting in 2012.

Raising awareness of my talent and passion for the industry. Finally, the rest of 2016 will be focused on a Part Time Postproduction Course at Met Film School.

I will get the Met Film School Professional Practice Certificate for ‘demonstrating exemplary communication and teamwork, management, planning and organization skills’.

3. 2017 After finishing my Editing Course in early January with Met Film School, my intention is to become a Runner for Sky on a TV Series between January 2017 and April 2018.
