Charlotte Bancroft

I am a third year student at Bournemouth University, and I am currently studying my passion - Media Production. Not only have I created this blog as part of my course, I have created this blog so I can have my own professional "voice" within the media, and enlighten myself on a variety of topics!

 

I like to consider myself a "producer in training", as I am still learning the ins and outs of becoming a producer, which is my ideal job for when I leave university and join the industry. 

 

So where did my story start? 

 

It started when I went on a trip with my local Brownies - Girl Guide Group to BBC Bristol as part of Children in Need, to learn the behind the scenes. I clearly remember one of the male staff members explaining how sound effects are created! He then proceeded to pick up a lettuce and crush it between his two hands. Crack. It was that moment that nine year old me was fascinated, and thus dreamed of working for the BBC to create a variety of projects. 

 

At thirteen I chose to study GCSE Media Studies and create small individual projects, which I then continued as an A Level until I was eighteen. At eighteen I achieved an unconditional offer into Bournemouth University where now, at the age of nineteen, I have created a variety of projects, pursued my own hobbies and creative projects. I'm even going through the process of hunting for internships or potential jobs! 

 

I'm not even a quarter of the way through my life, and I personally feel like I have achieved so much! I can't wait to continue learning, growing and actively trying to achieve the dream that I had when I was nine.
