Blog Introduction

Hello, my name is Bradley George Sampson. I am 18 years of age currently studying Creative Film and Moving Image Production, at Cleveland College of Art and Design in Hartlepool. I aspire one day to be a screenwriter/director. I will be including within this blog my research, my influences and my general thought process. I will be doing this as I progress throughout the different modules on each level of my degree in creative film. Within this blog I will also be including my ideas, drafts and final products of any extra curricular work. This will be anything from scripts, photography, short films etc. I will be posting the occasional film reviews of the latest films in cinemas, as an avid moviegoer. With any spare time on my hands I may choose to review some older and some of the more classic films. (time is money, and students are skint.)

About me; 
I was born and raised in the North East town of Sunderland. I have recently moved to Hartlepool for University, and to experience the student lifestyle. I can tell you now that it doesn't really exist in the way I thought it would. I always imagined myself rolling in drunk at 3 in the morning sobering up for my lecture 4 hours away. When in reality, its kind of just 'excuse me, did you drink my milk?'. From a very young age I developed an interest in Film, primarily because of how much the concept confused and intrigued me at the same time. My first experience with film was Lord of The Rings at the age of 6. My mother bought me the trilogy on tape, and I ended up watching the full trilogy on the sofa on a day off from school after mastering the art of acting ill. To this day they remain my favourite movies of all time, and of course I still own the tapes. I work part time at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, doing bar work that pays well especially with tips for a student such as myself. I have been working there for 2 years, as I got the job almost immediately after leaving school. In my spare time I enjoy skateboarding, this has been my main hobby for 4 years now and it is something I'm very passionate about. My other interests are Golf and Photography. Though I don't have much time on my hands for leisure these days I still try and make time for the driving range and some 35mm photography. 

Thank you for reading, and I hope you find something of interest within my blog.
