2016/17 MA Post Production Editing

Hi, I’m Ellie and I’m an MA post Production Editing student here at BU. I like cats, films, space and the internet. I lived with my parents and studied abroad while doing my undergrad so Bournemouth is a new adventure, and one I’m enjoying very much. Dying my hair is a hobby of mine so keep an eye out for the changes! I’ve been vlogging for 4 years and my aim here is to continue doing what I love, while helping prospective and current students.
