Films have always been an important part of my life; from a young age I would often draw the posters of my favourite movies. When I later understood the nature of Films and Tv I began to appreciate the art of worldbuilding, seeing the detail in each production, from the Hollywood Epics to our British Soaps, and how each design team creates their individual aesthetic for the world they present on camera.
In this course I have been able to explore these differing styles of entertainment and my love for my work has allowed me to present detailed concept designs, both hand-crafted and digital work, to a high standard and my knowledge and practise in industry software has allowed me to execute tasks efficiently in a detailed manner.
My work on BA (Hons) and Masters Films has also allowed me to experience working with other individuals and create designs that satisfy all members of production groups, whilst my work experience has allowed me to understand the nature of professional Art Departments in the workplace.
