Election post
I’m Vivienne, a 2nd-year Media student. Since joining FilmSoc last year, I’ve served as Photography Officer for FOMI 2024 and as a Grip on Last Lights Out. These experiences deepened my understanding of festival curation and on-set production, and connected me with an inspiring group of passionate people who share a love for film.
I’ve been passionate about film since I was 10 when I got my first DSLR camera. I’ve grown comfortable with digital tools, including mirrorless and Blackmagic cameras, and I also love film photography. Though I haven’t worked with film cinema cameras, I’m eager to learn. I’m confident I can quickly pick up these skills in training, and my experiences will help me along the way.
As the SEIT Manager, I aim to make our resources easily accessible and well-organised. I want to streamline the equipment booking process, ensuring everyone can find what they need for their projects. If multiple people need the same equipment, I’ll prioritise bookings based on project needs and order to ensure fair distribution. I’ll also focus on regular equipment maintenance, ensure everything is in working order. Most importantly, I want to create an environment where all members feel supported in exploring and developing new skills, regardless of their experience.
This society for me is a safe space where we can explore, challenge, and express ourselves freely, making art that reflects who we are. I’m excited about the opportunity to join and contribute to this community.
