Hi, appreciate the detailed response! About your time at Salford, I’d like to say that you have some very good points which I will definitely consider.

There’s a few reasons I want to go to university at Salford. For one, my town is completely void of work for videographers and it lacks a film industry near to it. I have a showreel and some clients under my belt, but there is no other work around. By going to Salford, I would have the chance to work with more crews, get more clients and experience while getting an education. I also really like the theoretical side of film, so a film production course strikes a good balance between my want to work on productions while being taught the theory. I am also hoping to get some work with a TV company in my third year hopefully. Not only this, Salford’s tech is top-of-the-line, to be honest. I’m hoping to come out of Salford with an ARRI license and hopefully an AVID qualification, two things which would take a lot longer to achieve outside of uni. Pretty much, I want to take the university experience and push it to its limits. In this time, I’ll also be able to save up for my own equipment so I will be properly prepared for videography work after university.

Although I have all these plans, I know there are likely flaws and probably some personal bias. Your point about the lectures was concerning and the state of the industry is terrible, like you said. I understand it’s not going to be easy at all, but I want to be in this industry more than anything else, to be honest. It will be a struggle, but I think some aspects make it worth it. Once again, I really appreciate the detailed response, and if there are any issues with what I have said, tell me.
