- 3. Work Experience Summer 2017 I was fortunate enough to be given some work experience over the summer holidays whilst in South Africa. This included helping an experienced camera operator film a promotion video of teenagers volunteering with disadvantaged children in soweto. I both filmed independently, as well as with others who were part of my youth group. University 2018 - 2021 I hope to study Film and Television at an undergraduate level at university. My aim is to gain a qualification in Media, at a high 2:1 level or a First. I have not yet chosen the university that I wish to study at, but my 2 reserves are the ‘University of Westminster’ and ‘King's College London’. Career 2021 After gaining my undergraduate qualification, I hope to gain a long term career in the industry. As of yet, I do not mind what it would be that I specialise in, but I know that I am particularly interested in the production side of Film and Television, as well as the editing side it. If I do not find work soon after my qualification results, or I am keen to continue my student journey, I may complete a masters degree in Film and Television, or begin to specialise in the field of work I am keen to work in. If that does become the route I choose to go down, following my postgraduate qualification, I will then consequently find a job in the media industry.
