Warren Turner

I am an outgoing person who finds it really easy to make new friends within surroundings that I am not familiar with. I try my hardest to step outside my comfort zone.

My passion is to be a film director. I like to take pride in my work but also humble myself in the skills that I have gained over the last few years.

I have studied at Natcoll Design Technology in 2008. That has taught me the skills from pre-production, production to post-production. I want to continue my studies but on a part-time basis but also working within both film and television industry.

When I am not working on film’s I like working within the Hospitality industry mainly as a Barista, and enjoy being creative when making coffee’s. Interacting with customers is what I do best and enjoy.

Key skills: 

Team Work

-       I work really well in a team; all places I worked at required a lot of team work and patience.

-       I act frequently at my local church doing dramas and skits. I know what it takes to make a successful team.

 

Communication Skills

-       My previous work places have enabled me to gain strong communication skills. I believe the best way to gain communication skills are by face-to-face interaction with other people.

 

Computer Skills

-       Taking computer classes during the duration of high school has given me the skills I need to work well on computer software

-       Fluent with MS Office Programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint

-       Skills in creating interactive work in programs like Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator

-       Learnt editing software such as Final Cut Pro, Soundwave Pro, After Effects, Lightwave Pro

 

Focused and willing to learn

-       I am very willing to learn from my workmates and to use that knowledge to get a better understanding of the work area and environment.
