Hello, I'm taking A1 media at Hurtwood House. Mainly because Media at Hurtwood is clearly taken quite seriously and the standards they have here are well accomplished. The aspect of having the opportunity to write, direct, shoot, mix and edit films, music videos, advertisements and documentaries was also certainly a main factor of why I wanted to study media at Hurtwood.



Originally I was born in London but my mum is from Bahamas and my dad is Scottish, I've lived in London my whole life.

Music in general also grasps my attention. I played the violin for most of my life (reached grade 6) and guitar and piano are additionally instruments I've reached grade 2 to. Even though I've stopped having lessons in these instruments my interest in music continues.

Over the summer I spent a week working a LGA management in Covent garden in central London. LGA is a photography agency who has clients such as Annie Leibovitz and Jens Langkjaer. I spent another week working with matches fashion down in clapham in their house brand department ('Raey').

Film and directing has always caught my eye so there was a natural urge to explore the ins and outs of how films are puzzled together. Directors such as Tarantino and Scorsese have drawn my attention to specific filming techniques.
