I never had to wait around for lecturers to get back to me. If I ever wanted support or help it was there &#8211; I always knew where to go.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kieran studied\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/undergraduate\/pjd\/pages\/photojournalism-and-documentary-photography-ba-hons.aspx\">BA (Hons) Photojournalism<\/a>\u00a0and is now a film producer and photographer for ShadowPlay working on high profile filming projects for global brands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring my photojournalism course I really enjoyed the film making module in the second year. I hadn&#8217;t done film making before but I loved the module and the projects that I worked on as part of it. It made me realise that this is what I really want to do.<\/p>\n<p>I gained some really invaluable skills during the course particularly when making a documentary about a community housing project where I worked with and filmed a large number of residents. This gave me real world experience and people skills which is essential in the job I do now working on projects for a wide range of clients.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since graduating Kieran has made lots of industry contacts by working as a freelance photographer which led to him meeting the owner of ShadowPlay where he currently works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m now working with a team of people and constantly learning, working on different projects. Working overseas is a real highlight of the job. I recently did a filming project using drones for a large company in Spain, I&#8217;ve also been to Amsterdam where we did a shoot for Panasonic&#8217;s new line of products. Things progressed in my career really quickly, I went from being self employed working on one job a week to suddenly being a full time film producer shooting films overseas for really big companies, it&#8217;s been great.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":12900000231,"template":"","tags":[484,145,171,482,239,291,483],"cs_subjects":[],"cs_levels_of_Study":[],"schools":[],"class_list":["post-657","case_study","type-case_study","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-documentary","tag-graduate","tag-journalism","tag-kieran-wakefield","tag-media","tag-photography","tag-photojournalism"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_study\/657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_study"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case_study"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657"},{"taxonomy":"cs_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cs_subjects?post=657"},{"taxonomy":"cs_levels_of_Study","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cs_levels_of_Study?post=657"},{"taxonomy":"schools","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schools?post=657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
