Content Creation
Most of my portfolio is centered around documentaries, interviews and event videography. Due to the nature of student media I usually helped direct, produce, edit and film these projects.
Since September 2024 I have been working at a podcast and live streaming studio called London Broadcast. In addition to the in studio filming I also film on location at corporate events.
I own a Lumix S5 which can film 4K V-LOG and is perfect for any situation.
First Dates: Manchester SU Edition
I co-directed and produced this film as well as assisting with the cinematography and editing process. This video was a massive success within the student body at The University of Manchester and I won bronze for "Best Director" at the 2023 National Student Television Association awards.
How Al-Zain Makes Manchester’s Finest Shawarma
I was the DP on this mini-documentary about a local shawarma takeaway on Manchester's Curry Mile. This was a really lovely project to work on and the I was really happy with how some of the shots worked out - especially the slow-motion.
I also helped edit this project - I was mainly colour correcting, adding subtitles, mastering the audio and converting the landscape content to vertical for use on TikTok and Instagram.
This video amassed over 100,000 views across all patforms.
BEYOND THE MIX
This video is part of a 3 part series where I was one of the cinematographers and the editor. The idea for the series was to showcase the talent of student DJs, but in a bizarre and unusual location - on top of the physics building. The footage and music speaks for itself, definitely one of the most fun projects i've worked on as I was able to combine my love of electronic music with my interest in videography.
Andy Burnham DJ Battle
We were invited by Andy Burnham's charity to film his DJ battle against the Mayor of Liverpool, Steve Rotherham. I was a cinematographer on this project.
An Interview with Afzal Khan
Rusholme MP, Afzal Khan, visited the SU and was interviewed by the Mancunion. I filmed and edited this project.
Groove Street at XLR
I helped film and organise the filming of FuseFM's club night in XLR (Withington). This was a really challenging shoot as there was very little light in the venue. I also edited this video.
An Interview with Future Utopia
I was the cinematographer on this project. We interviewed the award winning Future Utopia before a gig at YES Manchester. Due to the venue being really loud we had to do the interview in his tour van.
Team Talk: 256 Wednesdays
I was the cinematographer on this project and I also edited the video. The video is of the host, Ellie, asking students questions who are waiting in the line of a queue to the local club in Fallowfield, Manchester.
