TRANSCRIPT
Television and Film Industry
• My target industry I wish to work in is the Television and Film industry which I have studied at university, I believe it will increase my chances of getting work within the industry whilst also giving me experience in a number of roles.
• Through the short films I have made in University and the experience in a number of roles from the course I study my main focus for work in the industry is through Camera operating. I want to work for a production studio/Company and I am open to many roles to get any experience that is offered. A strong interest of mine is to work within sport and media as these are two of my strongest passions.
When I finish university the job opportunities in the industry will be entry level jobs such as:
• Camera Trainee
• 1st/2nd AC
• Runner
These roles will then give me experience for in the future to work as a camera operator and even a DOP
• There are opportunities that I have been looking into for after university that are training courses in a specific style of camera operating for example Steadicam operator
• Graduate jobs • Internships
JOB PROFILE EXAMPLES / SKILLS SET NEEDED
Skill set needed
• Creative eye
• Focus/Drive
• Patients
• Knowledge of equipment
• Team working ability / motivation
• Industry experience
• Responsibility
Strengths
• I find that the research I have done for my work inspires me in new ideas and concepts, also has given me a better overall picture of the industry I will be going into
• I pick up using software quickly / designing (Business cards)
• The research done for this unit benefits me greatly, which I can then document in the blog thus can reference back to it in the future
• I was able to team up with another individual at university who animates and designs into helping with my business cards this cooperation is something that I will be doing in my future of working within the industry
Weaknesses
• I tend to update my Tumblr blog in bursts not regularly
• I need to document more of my research on the blog not only small parts
• I should start blogging the updates on how my projects are progressing on other units on the course that are relatable to platforms such as the showreel
• Should write some notes on my inspirations and the techniques/styles they use
Research – Business CardI began my research by focusing specifically on the creative media business cards and taking note of there clever yet sleek designs. I particularly thought the use of aperture would be a great image to use for my own logo/business card. One thing I really noticed is that these types of business cards catch the eye and stand out, so I have put thought into the colours I will use and the layout of the card itself.
Logo Design
Design process from initial ideas to final designs. I am really happy with my final design it represents the industry I want to go into the role I most enjoy whilst having a great colour scheme, I believe it has a simple yet effective style.
Business card development
Me and a animation student used Photoshop to put together a layout and design for a creative media business card. I loved the idea of a 2 coloured scheme layout which I think looks quite smart. I also came up with a design for a pointer which incorporates a play button, this constantly relates back to my course and industry.

Research Showreel
• I have researched showreels from cinematographers and camera operators to see the type of footage they place into their showreels, also looking at the style and pacing.
• Here are two examples of showreels that interest me

Showreel plan
I have begun planning my showreel picking out some work from previous projects I have completed most of it coming from work I have made in the past 2 years including upcoming films, showcasing the work I have been involved within the camera and producer department (DOP, Camera operator, Producer).Avid Media Composer will be the software in which I will edit it on.
Tumblr Blog
• http://jamesgreenough.tumblr.com/
• I chose a simple Tumblr layout so I and viewers can find information easily
• The Tumblr blog is a great way of documenting and giving updates on projects, research, skills, interests and showcasing work.
• It is also a great tool to show the processes and how your work has developed for example my business cards and logo designs
