Calum Duff COMPANY NAME Front Edge Media COURSE BA/BA (Hons) Film and Media YEAR OF STUDY OR YEAR OF GRADUATION Year 4 WEBSITE OR LINK TO FURTHER INFORMATION www.frontedgemedia.co.uk “I have always wanted to try and turn a hobby into a career and setting up this company has made that a reality. I am in full control of my working days and have a genuine passion for what I do. I believe this shines through in my work.” Front Edge Media provides high quality media production in the form of promotional and corporate videos as well as still advertisements. Any marketing material that requires a camera, we’ve got it covered. The company has recently branched out into the production of music videos and now offer this additional service. As a student in Film and Media, I began working on the business in my 3rd year of studies. This initially involved compiling a small portfolio of work which I could then use to build a website in order to showcase what I can provide. After finishing five videos free of charge, I was able to launch the website and start trying to attract clients. With little business knowledge, I contacted the Business Gateway at QMU who were extremely helpful in guiding me through the process of setting up my company. I now attend networking events to try and spread the word about Front Edge Media and have currently worked with a number of very happy clients as the business continues to grow.
