Gemma Donnelly

Currently studying for a Master's in Editing for TV and Film at the University of Salford, I have developed a diverse portfolio of commercial and personal projects. My professional experience includes working as video editor and content creator at Welton Media, a production assistant with Paramount, and a videographer for Wirral Unplugged. I am passionate about continuous skill development and always seeking opportunities to grow and contribute creatively to the dynamic world of filmmaking.

I have extensive experience in video editing, working on both commercial and creative projects that showcase my technical skills and artistic vision. As an editor at Welton Media, I managed footage organisation, offlined interviews, and contributed to notable projects such as the Sport Parkinson's Four Nations Tournament and marketing videos for Manchester Pride and Liverpool Women’s Football Association. Proficient in Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, I combine strong organisational skills with a passion for crafting compelling narratives, making me well-suited for dynamic and creative editing roles.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Editing for TV and Film at the University of Salford, where I am gaining advanced expertise in industry-standard software like Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as post-production workflows, color grading, visual effects, and sound editing. My studies involve creating a diverse portfolio of editing work, alongside critical analysis and writing to enhance my creative decision-making. I also hold a 2:1 degree in English Literature from the University of Liverpool, where I honed my analytical, research, and time-management skills through essay writing, academic research, and collaborative presentations.
