But What Was She Wearing? is a documentary produced during my final year at university as part of a collaborative group project. The film engages with themes surrounding victim-blaming and the harmful narratives that often accompany discussions of sexual assault, using documentary storytelling to challenge the question implied in its title and to encourage critical reflection on the ways responsibility is misdirected in public discourse.

​

Within the production, I played a central role in shaping the visual and editorial direction of the film. I was actively involved in the camerawork and cinematography, contributing to the visual language and overall tone of the documentary. In addition, I independently undertook the full editing process, assembling the footage, structuring the narrative, and refining the pacing to ensure that the film communicated its message with clarity and sensitivity.

​

Through this work, I helped transform a collaborative concept into a cohesive and impactful final piece, using both visual composition and careful editing to support the documentary’s subject matter and emotional resonance. I am incredibly proud of my work in this project.

The documentary was screened in the Queen's Film Theatre in Belfast in May of 2025.
