JOB ROLES Desired role – Live Entertainment (television)

My desired job role would be a producer, however to get to this level I would have to work my way up. The roles that I can start off in that would lead to producing would be a production assistant, a runner or a researcher.

Description- Production Assistant- A production assistant is responsible for the

administration, organisation and secretarial work involved in producing a television program. Some of the work includes; assisting actors and the crew, issuing scripts, handling paperwork, organising equipment and supplies and general tasks.

I understand that I have the required skills for these roles and feel like this is where my strengths lie. I wish to go into the live entertainment area of television when I graduate. Although I would consider film, I feel like the television market is so innovative and popular at the moment, producing many own brand programs with great success.

DESIGN RESEARCH I have tried to keep my tumblr blog up to date but feel as though I

could do more. However, I have created a website using Wix. I have my own domain name, which will make it easier for possible employees to find me online. It previews all of my past films on the website, my LinkedIn profile along with other media sites. I will later add my finished show reel to my website.

I have chosen a theme for my website which will be evident throughout my business cards and cv.

SHOW REEL RESEARCHEscape studios, have given tips on getting the most out of your show reel. The length and getting the audience’s attention within the first few seconds is crucial. It is also important to only include clips from your past films that show your talents. Although these are the most important, the different clips all need to flow. Below is a screenshot from the producers guild website, outlining the need for a sizzle reel. I want to include a feel of a sizzle reel in my show reel, making my style obvious to the viewer.

SHOW REEL DESIGN IDEAS Here is a storyboard outlining how I aim to layout and edit

my show reel, using clips from my past work.

CV DESIGN RESEARCH Here are some examples of cv’s from people who have applied

for jobs in the same sector or a similar media sector to me.

I particularly like the layout of the cv on the left. The small graphics are a nice touch. I like how the cv on the right has a creative skillset section. I also really like the colour palate of each cv and as this is similar to my website colours it would fit together well.

CV DESIGN RESEARCHI like how informal the below cv’s are, it gives a fresh take on cv’s. I feel like this would catch the eye of a potential employer. I particularly like the cv with the QR code over the mouth, as it gives a personal touch, showing the employer your face, but also the chance to show them your filming skills, by attaching a video of your lips to the QR code. I really like this idea and what to experiment with my own personal versions/designs of this style.

BUSINESS CARD RESEARCH

I really like the ideas of these business cards incorporating film themes for example, a clapperboard or a reel of film, onto the business card. Although these are nice I feel they are a bit clichéd and not original. I also want my logo on my business card as well as my information.

BUSINESS CARD RESEARCH I already possess a selection of business cards from my

committee role on the University of Portsmouth’s Student Union’s Television. See example below.

However, I feel as though these business cards are ideal for University but not ideal for outside work as I want to be represented as my own entity. I have a few designs at the moment but really want to work on incorporating my logo.

I really like the use of the QR code and linking it straight to a personal website.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSESMy strengths are; Production skills Live television

experience An eye for detail Time management Organisnational skills Editing skills (shown in

photo to the left) Working well with a team Creating innovative

television shows for the University of Portsmouth Television Station.

My weaknesses are;• Limited show reel work,

mainly university projects, no outside projects

• Limited work experience• Lack of industry contacts

ACTION PLAN

I already have an up to date CV and have made the changes to it suggested by my tutor. However, I aim to include my colour scheme and graphic logo to improve the fluidity of my CV package.

I aim to complete my show reel after I have finished my current film projects, as I feel that clips of this work will be my best and add to the overall style of my work. I will do this after February, as my final hand in is at the end of the month.

I will record all of my process on my blog with screenshots of the work I am doing and photos from my social media sites I am a part of e.g. instagram.
