Personal Profile
My name is Keidi Logan, since a young age I have wanted to pursue a career in the creative industries, partiularly in television, film, and photography. My personality would be best described as creative and have many artistic interests in writing, camerawork, music, and art. I consider myself to be a fast learner, adaptive to new surroundings and good at coping with change, I am committed, observant, hard-working, positive-minded and enthusiastic, always up for a challenge and strive to do the very best I can.

Experience
In 2010, as part of school doing brief stint of work experience, I worked in the offices of Surgeons’ Hall in Edinburgh where I gained an insight into the structure of an office environment; learning organisational skills and the importance of reliability.
From 2011 – 2015; I have had experience in creative industries; I did my studies at City of Glasgow College where I obtained an HND in Creative Industries and Television Production, where I have learned and had experience in sound operations, and television production projects including: planning/research, production, post-production.
I have been involved in 20+ multi-camera studio productions involving all role functions. I have worked on six location CoGC productions all involving pre-production planning to post-production processes.
In various works at the college, I have had first-hand experience in a range of roles and responsibilities as a cameraman, floor manager, editor and the editorial works, director, production manager, lighting, sound dubbing, runner, prompter, focus puller.

I have done some work as a freelance photographer from which I've gotten the chance to use the various knowledge I learned in my course at college and using what I’ve learned in using the camera and from general short photography courses I have taken outside of college; building up a portfolio of work, maintaining and managing my work on and offline, handling finances and paperwork, maintaining relationships with clientele and possible clients. 

I have worked in modelling on a freelance basis and have built up a portfolio; I've found it helpful in gaining confidence and it gives me the chance to experience what it is like in front of the camera, this helps me to better understand what makes a good photographer/director/producer.

At the beginning of March 2015, I was involved in a corporate production for Scotland Excel as a Camera Operator for Camera 'B'.

In July 2015 I was part of an independent production, with GMAC, as the Script Supervisor for the short film 'Goodbye Charlie'.

In the first week-end of April 2016 I took part in the London 48 Hour Sci-Fi Film Challenge, and was credited for the role of 1st AD for the short film ' The Search'. Though I was credited as the 1st Assistant Director, with it being such a small crew on a very tight timeline to shoot, I was working a variety of roles - my main duty was working the clapper board, but there was also some runner work involved as well as continuty work, I was generally assisting the production in all ways to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible.

From October to December in 2016 I worked as an extra as part of a BBC Three production, the drama series 'Clique'.

In May and June 2018 I worked as an extra as part of a BBC Three Production, the second series of the drama 'Clique'.

In July 2018 I was part of a technical theatre programme set up by Just Festival and Edinburgh College, called Staged for Life, a summer programme which aims to train and teach the participants in all aspects of theatre work, specifically involving setting up a stage, how to handle the equipment, and how to operate sound and lighting kit. 
As part of the programme we learned the skills of being a sound technician and sound operator, lighting technician and lighting operator, rigger, and general stage crew roles; and used these skills to then put on a show at the end of the programme to fully experience the process of how to create a show.
The show that we put on was a play by Mhari Quinn called 'The Politics of the White Stuff' where I specifically worked in the role of lighting technician.

In the lead-up to Christmas, in November and December 2018, I worked full time in night-shift hours with Royal Mail as a Christmas Casual where I was dotted around the sorting warehouse doing various tasks, from pushing loaded Yorks around the large warehouse to sorting out letters and parcels - however I mostly worked as a parcel sorter at a conveyor belt. The work required physical stamina and strength, safety awareness, a great attention to detail and good organisational skills.

In July and August 2019 I worked in the Edinburgh Fringe with the SpaceUK as a Venue Technician at Venue 53, Surgeons Hall. The role involved many different aspects of theatre and events building theatres in rooms of all sizes putting up truss and scaffolding, connecting cables, setting  platforms to be used as stages, draping, taping, etc.; to technical rehearsals for various companies/performers and designing the lighting schemes and sorting out the sound levels and equipment; helping various performers set up on stage, set up backstage, focus lights and sort out cables in very little time; being an operator for some of the shows using a Jands lighting desk and oftentime a Macbook with QLab connected to the sound desk; generally tidying up the venue, keeping things organised, assisting with front of house and helping the public; also being part of the dismantling of the four theatres in Surgeons Hall at the end of the Fringe.
Working in the Fringe was an excellent experience in which I learned a great deal in the world of theatre, maintaining level-headed and problem solving in what could be a busy and hectic environment.

In September 2019 I worked with AKD Productions, credited in the role of 2nd Camera Assistant on short film 'Opal'. I was welcomed into this production to be a camera/lighting trainee as I had not worked on a film set in some years, and was taught a lot by the 1st Camera Assistant Ed Vijay and the DOP Carmen Pellon Brussosa as well as the Gaffer Marina Lewin. The production was filmed with an Arri Alexa Mini, my main duty was working the clapper board as well as changing the anamorphic lenses, diopters and ND Filters, also handling the tripod and the slider, and sometimes helping the gaffer set the lighting and setting up the monitor for the director.

Interests
I have been writing scripts and stories, and have had an interest in screenwriting and literature for many years; I enjoy photography; I enjoy sketching and painting; I am considered a musical person and play a variety of instruments, but am particularly fond of the guitar which was the first instrument I learned how to play. 
Being signed up to some of the websites, I often house-sit in various locations around the UK to look after people's property and animals. I take a great deal of joy in visiting other parts of the country, giving me an opportunity to explore different places and practice photography in different landscapes; and being an animal-lover also, I get the chance to look after dogs and farm animals for sometimes weeks at a time. 
Fitness-wise, I do yoga regularly; I enjoy cycling; I regularly go swimming, and I try to go quite often to pole fitness classes and pilates classes.
As a child I took many dance classes and have kept a lot of the certificates I got from them; as a child I also played badminton regularly and earned a badge after three specialist exams on the court.
