My name is Ella, and I'm a Film Composer and Sound Designer based in Melbourne, Victoria. I've graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts with a BMus: Interactive Composition, and I am keen to expand my folio and enter the job industry. My favourite film genre to score is horror/thriller/mystery, however I also come from a classical piano and 'Big Band' background. The majority of my folio is made up of student films and animations, in which I very much enjoyed collaborating within.

    This was an assessment for a university class that highlights my foley and sound design skills.

    This is an assessment film for a university class that I use as part of my composition folio.
    The short-film features a simple yet effective, twisted music composition. Combined with a bit of foley and sound design, this film is sure to jolt and confuse you.
