Cinematography & editing. My strongest points are camera work and editing. These skills I have practiced through making promotional videos, short films and personal YouTube vlog videos. My short term goal is to use these skills and be a female videographer and editor in music videos, commercials, brand promotion videos as well as other projects. Long term goal would be directing music videos because I believe there are not enough female representatives in this industry although it is slowly changing.
POWERless Short film
POWERless is a short film directed by Rochelle Pellius and produced by Ivita Filipsone. The aim of the film is to show the many things women go through to be successful and to be heard in the professional industry. As female media creators, we felt like it is an important message that needs to be send through the film, as often women are being discriminated or seen as 'not capable' in professional industry's. The idea of the film was born based on our experience in the University where we had the amazing opportunity to work with and learn from many spectacular women in the media industry. As part of our research for the film our tutors shared personal stories that inspired this film.
I had an amazing opportunity to work with Zoe Serfaty ft. TOPSHOP on her BCU final university project. She contacted me to collaborate on this project as a cinematographer and editor. Topshop Does London is a project that includes an interactive location based app where users visit top tourist spots all over London and along with that they have personalised Topshop fashion ambassador who gives advise on their outfits.
Location: London and Birmingham.

FOOD ME interactive media project event
One of the most fun experiences I've had is the interactive app development by using 360 video and VR technology. Together with my team we created FOOD me app, based in Coventry, where users can experience the best places for food and drinks in Coventry city. The aim of this app is to allow users to choose the restaurant they want to visit based on their virtual reality experience where users can see the food/drinks and the atmosphere of the particular place.
This video is from the 'launch party' of the project where visitors were able to try out the full experience the app provides.
