What were the most valuable skills you gained at MetFilm School?

“The most valuable thing I learnt at film school was how film sets work; not only with having basic understandings of all areas on set like camera and sound, etc. But, knowing that I know exactly what was happening on set at all times has helped me massively in entering the film industry.”

What advice would you offer current students at MetFilm School?

“Learn communication skills with not only your classmates but your crew as well. Everyone specialises in different areas and being able to get your idea across to different crew members can be so important and change key elements of a film.”
