I learnt skills in this course which consists of, editing on premiere pro and aftereffects which was something that I had no knowledge of before joining that course. Learning these skills makes me want to learn more of a similar nature as I enjoyed learning skills in my previous course. • This course that I am currently on (L3 Extended Diploma Creative Media and Technology) has helped me prepare for my chosen courses at university because I have been able to develop new skills that I will be able to take into university. In this course I have made multiple music videos and experimented with audio- based projects which are all things that I would further explore at university. Experimenting with all these different projects allows me to be able to progress onto university with more background knowledge and will help me with future projects. • Ideally, I would like to work in the filming industry for big companies like BBC or ITV, I would also like to become an editor for TV programs or even adverts.
