Showreel - https://vimeo.com/- September 2019 - Present Foundation Church Belfast Ministry Assistant / Worship Leader As ministry assistant, my responsibilities include supporting the lead pastor in pastoral duties such as formatting the weekly service sheets and maintaining contact with newcomers to the church to ensure they feel welcome and cared for. As worship leader, my weekly responsibilities include choosing the songs for Sunday and leading the congregation in corporate worship. Due to the nature of this role, my time has been very much my own, and I have had to adapt to creating my own deadlines and daily disciplines in order to achieve the most efficient workflow September 2018 – 2019 The Hub Belfast (Church of Ireland University Chaplaincy) Ministry Intern - Communications and Outreach The Church of Ireland chaplaincy at Queens University was given funding as part of a plan to expand their student ministry throughout Belfast, seeking to reach out into the likes of Belfast MET, UU and Stranmillis. As part of this, I was hired as a communications and outreach intern, given the responsibility of providing regular creative content, advertising what The Hub offer to the students of Belfast. As well as planning and organising a number of outreach opportunities. As part of this role, I was key holder for the chaplaincy, including its 4 student residence buildings, its church and its public cafe. __________________________________________________________________________________ Skills / Proficiency Camera Sony Alpha Series For 4 years, I have been dedicated to Sony’s Alpha mirrorless range of cameras; specifically the A7Sii. I have committed myself to becoming fluent in using Sony’s unique interface and capabilities. I have found the A7Sii to be paramount in providing quality footage in wedding videography, short film and corporate work. While its low MPs (12) creates restrictions for photography work, I have found the bit-rate and dynamic range to provide quality stills regardless. !2 Editing Adobe Creative Cloud Since I began my time within the freelance industry, I have exclusively used Adobe’s CC Suite, specialising in Premiere Pro, Lightroom and Illustrator. From the beginning I have committed myself to fluency in using the software, and everything it has to offer in video and still editing. I have used Premiere Pro in editing together two award winning short films (“The Grass is Always Greener” and “Edgar I Am”) and 20+ wedding videos. EXPERIENCE June 2019 Abaana Missionary Ministries Overseas Mission Team Leader As part of my internship at The Hub, I was part of a team that organised and led a three-week mission to Uganda, working with school children and serving in a remand centre for young offenders. The responsibilities of this role were primarily ensuring that operations ran smoothly throughout the mission, such as being consistently aware of the whereabouts of our team members as well as being 24/7 emotional support. September - July 2018 Writing and Directing my Own Short Film At the beginning of the final year of my degree, my class of 45 students were instructed to each write a script for a short film of any genre and structure. Out of these, 6 scripts were chosen to be produced over the year, and whoever had their script chosen directed the production and chose their crew from the class. My script was chosen and I spent the next year directing my own short film. This opportunity gave me great experience in starting with a minimal idea and dedicating every moment I got to turn it into something worth watching and investing in. I gained invaluable experience in managing a team of 5 crew members, and through this was put in a position of learning to deal with any conflict that arose, so that the crew would remain united in achieving one goal. This film was eventually premiered in Queens Film Theatre and I was awarded first honours for this module, greatly contributing towards my final 2:1 in my degree. !3 January 2014 – June 2018 Church Youth Leader My role involved taking responsibility for a large group teenagers, planning and leading a weekly youth club, organising trips and activities, preparing talks and engaging with young people and adults This demonstrates my leadership skills and my ability to manage my time well, take responsibility, work as a team and to communicate effectively with a range of age groups. May - September 2017 International Guest Team Throughout the summer of 2017, I lived and served in Capernwray Hall, Lancashire as a member of the International guest team. From October through to April, Capernwray Hall is home to a two-term evangelical bible school, but from the month of May through to September, the staff run a weekly holiday programme. The weeks range from family weeks to youth weeks, to student weeks. My role was primarily to serve as a facilitator of the available activities, as well as youth leader. As well as this, I was given the task of filming and editing a series of highlight videos for each of the youth weeks in order to promote and advertise the holidays to guests around the globe. !4
