CINEMATOGRAPHY
BA (HONS) MEDIA PRODUCTION
This page highlights the various video projects I have contributed to during my time at university. Whether I was the primary shooter, assisting with the filming process, or playing a key role in coordinating the production, I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of creative projects. From conceptualization to the final cut, I have worked closely with talented teams to bring each project to life. Each experience has allowed me to develop my skills in video production, storytelling, and collaboration, resulting in a diverse portfolio that showcases my growth and passion for the craft.

‘SISYPHUS’

DAVINCI / PREMIERE PRO
This was my first solo project at University during our Second Year. We where tasked with making a documentary on any subject that interested you and in any style of documentary filmmaking i.e ‘fly on the wall or ‘talking head’. I chose to create a poetic mode of documentary which prioritises subjective interpretation and mood creation over traditional narrative and exposition.

RATMAN (TRAILER)
PREMIERE PRO
This project was created as part of an assignment to create a crowdfund video and pitch. we where tasked to make a realistic collection of elemets that would be used in a real pitch to a production company.

May Day Bike Run
On May 6th 2024 I joined a small team of fellow University students to film shots of the May Day Bike show in Hastings for a documentary called Bikers England being produced by Manuel Nashi and Directed by Pete Rogers. This new documentary has a wider scope to incorporate the subculture of ‘biker’, and examines a greater latitude with a ‘brand/label’ that is misunderstood.
The characters in the documentary are prominent key figures across the UK, and their influence is wide felt. We follow their journey and explore the music culture, people and vernacular across a wider demographic in order to understand the ‘label’ of a community of people that come together with common interests and share in their personal stories and insights into this fascinating culture.
I spent my day taking B-Roll of the event, conducting interviews and collecting audio samples. To learn more about Rockers London you can find there website here: https://rockerslondon.com/
Below you can watch a short clip of our shots which we edited together as the documentary is still in the production phase.
