When we leave the Ones we love, what happens to the Ones Left Behind… As part of our screen acting course. We had to improvise a short scene with the characters we created through a hot-seating interview task. Which we then scripted to form this short film. This created a story about loss and grief. How losing someone affects the Ones left behind.

For my Presenting module in the MA: Screen Acting and Performance course at University for the Creative Arts, we presented a different type of show every week. Allowing us to try out various styles and roles to help find the area we were best suited as a presenter. I found I worked best with a live audience where I was free to ad-lib whilst also following a clear structure. Here you can view a clip from each type of presenting which I submitted for my portfolio at the end of the module. I broke it down into categories below which you can view in the video’s chapters or have a link to each clip in this playlist - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaV0R9SitlYTECxXr5B4eIWghML7ZJKCF Chapters: 00:00 - Newscaster 01:20 - Piece to Camera 02:08 - Influencer 03:12 - Talk Show Host 04:13 - Live Event Host 05:14 - OOV Reading 06:14 - Children’s TV 07:13 - Audio Work 08:33 - Game Show Host Presenting Portfolio Categories: Newscaster - Two segments, first I had to read the news like a Journalist. Empathising keywords to give audio clues for the audience who may be occupied with other things. For the 2nd segment, I had to read the news blind. I’ve not seen the autocue before, I’m reading it live in the studio. Piece to Camera - For this segment, we had to find an interesting background and improvise a story around it. I improvised a story about the Great Elf War and was able to respond to my surroundings. Kate’s phone binged unexpectedly but I incorporated it into my show seamlessly. Influencer - I had to record a video as an influencer. So based on MrBeast I had a challenge happen behind me whilst I did a sponsored advert. Which keeps the audience engaged whilst I was also advertising a brand. I was able to do it quickly as well since the challenge didn’t take as long as I expected. Talk Show Host - We split into pairs and took turns to interview each other. I spoke with Jade about her work beforehand but still saved some questions for the show to keep it fresh. After talking about how many gags they have in the comedy club I was able to follow up with a question about her favourite prank. Live Event Host - I was asked to help host an Oscars watch party to raise money for a student’s film. It was my first time hosting an event and we only had time to write our cue cards that day. Luckily the audience were responsive so we were able to have good interactions with them and make it fun. OOV Reading - For this segment we first spilt off into groups and had to record footage about Valentine’s Day. We then wrote an autocue to that footage to be read in the studio. Since we edited it beforehand I was able to practice timing the autocue to the footage. So when I read it in the studio my words fit the images and didn’t fall behind or go over. Children’s TV - We looked beforehand at different children’s shows and how to balance being warm and welcoming without being patronising to the kids. So to strike that balance I tried to make it funny and relatable. I was reading Dairy of a Wimpy Kid from the perspective of how kids felt in school and what the character Greg was empathising. Audio Work - We did a Podcast with topics led by me. Bringing my views on the subjects but also listening to my guests’ points of view. Discussing cinemas still being relevant in the streaming age. The other example is an audio drama scene where a man filling out a questionnaire gets too personal. It was a great task to convey the awkward situation by only using my voice. Game Show Host - Here I got two examples of hosting game shows. I spoke a lot about this in my presentation, how I took Rob Brydon’s approach to hosting and adapted his structure to organise the show. Knowing how to keep the games and guests on track whilst also allowing space to ad-lib and react in the moment. -------------------------------------------------------------- Remember to like, comment, share and subscribe to my channel.

Here’s the portfolio of my work as an actor and filmmaker. Showing some roles I’ve played, and short films I directed, wrote, filmed and edited. Having experience behind and in front of the camera. Giving you an idea of the types of themes and styles I explored over the years. This video helped me secure a place at University for the Creative Arts to study the MA: Screen Acting and Performance course. -------------------------------------------------------------- Remember to like, comment, share and subscribe to my channel.
