Introduction

I'm Victoria Wilson and I'm currently studying an HND in Media Moving Image at Belfast Metropolitan College. 

I'm interested in a number of different career paths; having been a camera woman for a small number of college projects previously as well as being one of the camera operators on a friend's recent independent film, it's a career that I find very interesting because of it's challenges sometimes. However, you get to become part of the director's and writer's dream by bringing their storyboards and dialogue to life, on screen.

I have also been director for my own short drama two years ago, and in addition to director, I also acted as the main editor too. I was also the writer of the drama, as well as writing my own animation and directing that too. The role of being in charge of almost everything that happens on screen and off is more challenging because you have so many choices and opinions to take into consideration but I feel this will become a lot easier to handle because over the next two years. This is because teams for projects will become bigger and the decisions will lie to others, not just the director entirely, and there won't be as much pressure on you as before. 

Having tried out a number of different roles, inside and outside of the college, I'm not sure where exactly I want my career to head once I leave the college but hopefully within the next two years, I can find my forté and expand on that further. Whether that be go on to University or try and go straight into a job in the industry, I hope to explore my options while I'm here in Belfast Metropolitan College.
