For me this course is about learning the skills I need to create films that are something other people can look up to, and finding out what I like to do.
I’d recommend Kirklees College, because to me, it means freedom, you can be whatever you want and do what you want and it generates creativity in me. I’m most proud of my film editing skills. I think I’ve really shown what I can do, and the course has helped me hone my skills.
I chose this course because I’ve always been a creative person and I wanted to learn more about the media industry. I enjoy this course as there is never a dull moment! You can be as creative as you like and no one holds you back. I am hoping to become a graphic designer either through going to university or starting an apprenticeship.
