Work in the Media Industry

Job 1 - Dubbing Editor

I'm interested in this job as I like working with audio and it's a job which involves editing and recording different audio files.

The skill I already have is a basic knowledge of Adobe Audition, this allows me to edit audio to a certain extent.

In order to get this job, I would have to develop my skills in software such as Audition to be considered a candidate for the position.

Job 2 - Special Effects

I'm interested in special effects because it looks fun to work with and it pays well.

I don't currently have any skills in special effects, however, I am looking towards working with them later on in the course.

The skills I would need to develop would be on software such as Adobe After Effects which is has a plethora of effects available to test out.

Job 3 - Focus Puller

I'm interested in this job as I enjoy the filming aspect of media and would like to be involved in it as much as possible.

I'm already decent when it comes to working with cameras, however, I still need a lot of work.

Professional Practice - Reflection

I made my CV using google docs as they already have preset layouts for CVs and Resumés. I then filled out the document with my details and qualifications.

I made a CV like this because I believed it to be an effective format that would hopefully make me one of the top candidates for the job.

I wrote my cover letter using the requirement in the job description. I used this method as the employer would want the person they are employing to have the skills required meaning that if I claim to have them then I will have a better chance of being employed. I also used a cover letter template that was online. I used this template in order to make my cover letter more professional, considering that I have never written one before.

I made my website using Wix. I used the Wix AI which asked me questions on why I was making my website and how I wanted it. After this it gave me a template for a website that fit what I was looking for the best. I then added a section on the page for photographs and videos that I have taken, considering that I set the page up calling myself a 'Filmmaker and Photographer'. I also have a page on the site for bookings in case if someone is interested in the service I am providing. There's also a section for people to contact me if they're interested in what I have to offer.

Professional Website Case Study

Chris Turner - http://www.cjturner.com/

Chris Turner is a freelance filmmaker. The home page of his personal website showcases the various different projects that he's worked on in order to encourage someone to contact him for work. The way that the projects are spaced out makes it seem as he has done more work than he actually has, as some are listed more than once.

 The next page on the website is a page about who Chris Turner is. This page is essentially a cover letter as to why people should choose him to film for them.

The final page on the website is for people to contact him if they are interested in getting him to work for them. This page includes his email and what I assume is a work phone number. Also, at the bottom of each page, Chris has five links to social media to further show his qualification for the job and for secondary contact if necessary.

Peter Pint - http://www.peterpint.com/

 Peter Pint is a Music Video and Television Commercial Director. The home page of his website showcases the TV adverts that he's previously worked on.

The next page showcases all of the music videos that he's directed.

 The final page of the website gives an overview of who Peter Pint is and what he does. There's a very small tab for contact details at the bottom of the page which brings you to his email.

Ray Kay - http://www.raykay.com/

Ray Kay is the most famous of the three I have chosen. His first page show a general overview of his work including his photography, music videos and television adverts.

  This page shows the music videos that Ray Kay has directed. This includes some very famous work from Lady Gaga to Britney Spears.

The final page of his website is for people to contact him. Due to his success Ray Kay doesn't simply give out his phone number for people to message. He has an email system in place for business orders.
