Hazlitt Theatre Showing: May 11th 2016

The University for the Creative Arts TV Production 3rd years have recently held a screening at the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone where their final major project films were shown in front of a live audience. Among a few of these films were my interview video about my own final project; Ascension, as well as three films I provided soundwork for. The films are as follows;

"Routes" written and Directed by Andy Cox


"Grit" Written and Directed by Lex Wilkinson

"Downstage" Written by Sam Babington and Directed by Kate Sargent
Sound for all three of these productions was captured using a H4N Zoom sound recorder along with a boom pole and Rhode Mic equipment.
Sound in downstage was also captured using a collection of radio mics, which added to the "mockumentary" style of the production.

TV Production Dissertation: "How are Stereotypes Used in Soap Opera?"

This is the dissertation I wrote for my final year of my Television Production Course at the University of the Creative Arts in Rochester. In this dissertation, I discuss how the usage of stereotypical characters in soap opera can be both beneficial and a hindrance in regards to storytelling.
Other areas discussed are the affect of soap opera on society and vice-versa.
This dissertation was graded B.
