  This is my DepicT! project as part of my Level 3 TV and Film BTEC, and I think it displays a good overview of my story-writing, editing and acting abilities. This is a college football game highlight reel I edited for the football media team in my own time to help them out, including some scoreboards I co-designed. This  is an essay I wrote on the requirements for a production, covering topics like finance, location, personnel, distribution and more. I think it displays my understanding, thoroughness and research skills. This is my Ben and Jerrys rebranding pitch, and I think it shows off my presentation and research skills. This  is my essay on the commissioning process for screenwriting in the UK which I think displays my good understanding of that side of the industry. This  is my script proposal Prezi which I used to pitch my screenplay idea, and shows off my presentation skills and ideas. This is an extract of my screenplay which demonstrates my ability in writing for screen.

Primary research: Primary research  is research acquired by the person finding it so they can get specific and trustworthy new data. This can be found through a variety of different methods such as surveys, questionnaires, polls and interviews. "Research means you don't know, but are willing to find out" - Charles F Kettering . Some primary research I've done is a survey I made to find out what the interests and issues were with the public (especially teens and students) and teen movies, more specifically the portrayals of teens in those films, as well as seeing whether they would be interested in my own pitch for a teen movie.

Primary Research:  Create your own user feedback survey This is a survey I created to try and gauge what the public opinion and interest is in the teen genre of movie as well as interest in my own idea for a teen screenplay. I think it's a good example of research as it helped me collect a good set of data that ultimately helps the understanding of how people view teen movies and mental health, especially from the viewpoint of teens themselves. These are the responses from my survey all bundled into one flip book. This is good research for mostly the same reasons as the previous summary, however in this case not only is it more specific with data correlation at play its also public information that can be used as secondary research. Secondary Research: Unilever rebranding pitch  - This presentation was my rebranding of Ben and Jerrys, and it has a few good examples of secondary research. the first one is a demographic chart that shows a lot of data on the types of people who

Does the episode follow a 3 act structure or classical Hollywood narrative? The episode does follow a 3 act structure as we start the episode in what is considered normality - at least by Sherlock's standards - where Watson is at Tesco's having self-checkout troubles and Sherlock is fighting a Sikh man in his apartment, move onto the murders and the mystery of the stolen artifact that disrupted that equilibrium and finally end on another case being finished, Watson collecting the paycheck and Sherlock finding the jade dragon pin, although the actual ending hints at a much greater adversary awaiting Sherlock along with an even bigger conflict. How does binary opposition apply to this episode?

These characters also represent light
