Film and TV Society: Videographer

Hi everyone! I’m Ellie, a current third year French and Spanish student, going into my final year at UCL!

During my tenure as last year’s videography officer (2022-23), we really upped the scale of our annual Varsity broadcast. Through this experience, the importance of having an expansive team on board became very clear to me, and getting as many people involved as possible. Filmsoc boasts a wide array of livestreaming equipment, and I’m convinced that focusing on more informal hands-on workshops would be a great way for members to learn the ropes and discover the world of broadcast. If elected, I’d focus on streamlining the broadcast production process, as well as continuing to strengthen Filmsoc’s existing relationship with the Student Union and the numerous societies that Filmsoc often carries out videography work for.

I can still remember what it felt like joining Filmsoc without having had much previous experience, and videography opportunities were a great way in to gain confidence and learn new skills. If elected, I would aim to focus on making these videography opportunities feel approachable and accessible, especially to new members looking to get involved in the Filmsoc community.

Being the videography officer last year was frankly the highlight of my time at Filmsoc and UCL in general, and I’m convinced that with this experience under my belt I have more to give if elected for my final year at UCL!

I'm thrilled to be running for the videographer position in our film society. My journey with social media has shown me the power of visual storytelling, with 18 videos reaching over 10K views. Despite my industry experience, I've missed connecting with peers my age, and I'm eager to change that by joining the society. Working with artists like Say Now, Omah Lay has been enriching, but I've realized the importance of engaging more with school societies, especially since my full-time work has limited my involvement. I believe everyone should have access to opportunities, regardless of their background, and I want to share my skills to uplift others in our community. Plus, the warmth and support I've felt from the film society members make me even more excited to contribute and collaborate
