About Me

My name is Rayan Mirza, and I am currently pursuing Media Studies as subject in A-levels which has a particular bias towards cinematography and directing. I feel that the art of visual storytelling is something that is very essential and thus motivates me to hone in on skills such as camera work, lighting, and editing as I want to emotionally engage an audience through my creativity. In the course of my studies, I feel like I have a good balance in the theoretical and the practical fields of film making thus enabling the effective representation of images, emotions and stories as the end product. I look forward to expanding my skill set and taking part in projects that will stretch my creativity and give me new insights into the film world.
