Michael is now Assistant Editor at a film trailer editing company working for Deluve. He has worked on various TV and social spots for films such as Lego Movie 2, Mowgli, Tomb Raider, Rampage and more.
Michael described his time at Hartlepool Sixth Form as transforming, educational and fun. He progressed to Staffordshire University to study Media (Film) Production.
He said:
“I decided to study at Hartlepool Sixth Form as I was excited at the prospect of studying music, film and media all together. I enjoyed working with the teachers and staff at Hartlepool Sixth Form as I found them approachable at all times, and friendly and enthusiastic.
The course opened up a lot of opportunities for me to explore some of my favourite films and work out what makes them so powerful and engaging. I always felt like I was surrounded by people, staff and fellow students, who shared the same enthusiasm as I did.
The campus felt incredibly refreshing and a place to feel at ease. There was great editing facilities with technicians and staff who were kindly willing to take time to teach you.
I frequently performed music outside of study, and through the college I got to perform with various talented musicians that otherwise I would not have had the chance to meet.
Before my time at Hartlepool Sixth Form, I had sometimes struggled with keeping focused, however the patience and the enthusiasm of the staff helped me develop and prepared me completely for a career in my dream job!”
The best thing about studying English literature was definitely the teaching. Not only were the classes engaging, I always knew my teacher would go out of their way to support me.
