Avril Felicity – Media Allrounder

I began my creative journey in early childhood with dancing, acting and singing extracurriculars. What started out as a love of performing then transitioned into a love of production in learning the intricacies of Costume Design. Throughout high school I worked on developing these Costume Design and creation skills, until I transitioned into a more broad production space. Working as the Head of Costumes and Lighting Designer and Operator on various high school productions, I completed a Certificate II qualification in Creative Industries; Live Production (2021). This qualification provided me with many other useful skills and qualifications. While working towards developing these Theatre industry skills, I also worked to nurture my growing understanding of Screen Arts and began to fall in love with it.

I have always been a creative thinker and enjoyed analytical aspects of creativity as seen through my decision to take ATAR Literature. In 2022 I began studying a Bachelor of Media and Communications at Edith Cowan University with a major in Screen Production and a minor in Photography. Through my studies I have been able to truely realise my passion for Cinematography, Photography and Producing. In August of 2023, I took on a work experience position at Network 10 in Perth, working as a video editor and I continue to work on developing my skills in this position while also working on my studies.

I have worked on a range of student films and in early 2024, launched a TikTok account that documents the behind the scenes aspects of these films and photoshoots to entertain, while also, filling a gap in the media I felt existed when I was growing up. This TikTok account documents all aspects of the behind the scenes of my personal creative journey, including personal, costume and university projects. Concurrently to my university and official projects, I have been working on developing my skills through personal projects that have not yet been released, but continue to be worked towards.

With Certificate II qualifications in Creative Industries: Live Production and Tourism (2020), along with my background in Editing, passions for Cinematography, Photography and Producing, I have a variety of skills and training that appropriately equips me for a range of positions both traditional and up and coming.
