Task 1c: Audio-Visual

So here it is, the task I've been dreading!

...and actually, it's not been nearly as uncomfortable or as difficult as I had first imagined. Below is the link to my short clip on my experiences since starting out on the BAPP course and my initial thoughts on the programme. It is the first time I have ever posted anything on YouTube personally, despite being a regular visitor to the site to watch various videos. I was pleased how easy it was to log in with our Google mail account that I created at the same time as this blog. I can therefore say I have officially developed a new skill! I believe it will also be interesting to look back on as I'm further into my course and studies. I may not want to however, as I didn't particularly enjoy watching it back! I have enjoyed watching other user's videos and understand from those that this is a task that most people have found daunting in general. I filmed myself using the front camera on my iPhone, and found difficulty in directly uploading the video from my phone, so I transferred it to my computer before uploading this way.

So here is the link!

Great really like your video - positive, rationale, and articulate. I liked the way you described your 'hands on" experience in education. Good to have looked at others. Great iphone clarity in your travel accommodation while touring - impressive - technology is great isn't it?

Hi Paula
I'm ever so glad it is clear, has some what restored my faith in technology after my disastrous attempt to join in a Skype session with a rubbishy internet connection! Our current digs have a brilliant WiFi connection so it just seems to be the luck of the draw!
Glad the video seems ok, definitely the task I was least looking forward to!

About Me

I graduated in July 2012 from a three year professional Musical Theatre course at LCPA with platinum honours in my Trinity National Diploma. I am represented by Stirling Management and have been working and teaching within the Arts industry ever since.

I have always possessed a desire to teach and to be able to pass on the skills and knowledge I acquire to others and find that I am able to address that now, by being presented with an opportunity to extend my existing diploma into an honours degree whilst still being able to continue with my professional employment.

I currently hold teaching positions at two theatre schools and have been choreographing shows and leading drama workshops with children aged 4-18 for the past two years which has done nothing but fuel my desire to teach further and work with young people as a future career.

Since graduating, I have worked as a scare actor in a live-action themed horror maze, as a presenter and show performer at the Alton Towers resort. The jobs that I find most enjoyment in are the theatre in education tours, of which I have completed three and am currently working with a team touring Dudley and the West Midlands performing a show aimed at year 8 and 9 exploring substance abuse.

Upon completion of this course, I would ultimately love to be offered a post as a drama teacher in a secondary school after having pursued either a PGCE or School Direct Training Programme.

Performance, and in particular drama, has played the lead role in my life to date and I hope to preserve this key position with a career in education.
