Biography:

Since I finished high school I was sure about I wanted to dedicate my future to the audiovisual sector, especially to the film industry. Therefore, I studied audiovisual production in the IES Valcarcel, where I learnt the competencies of the profession. I learnt about all the organizational system, the different departments and the working methods, the preproduction where you forecast the expenses and the human resources that you need, the unexpected events in the filming, the film edition and the postproduction modifications. Also, I learnt to evaluate scripts and to select the best actors.

When I finished my audiovisual production studies I realised that during those two years I found really interesting the sound department because I wanted to learn to record direct sound or the postproduction of films with specialized equipment. So, I decided to study sound for audiovisual productions. I am sure this will be very helpful to dedicate my career to the cinema and to become the professional I want to be.
