In today's lesson I began to plan and develop my power point presentation, ready for next weeks presentation. I also reviewed my action plan and rescheduled any outstanding pieces that i have. Fortunately, I had been keeping to my plan as best as i could so I have only missed one or two pieces and should be able to complete this quickly.

I personally felt that I showed professionalism today as I had to demonstrate my organisational skills in order to complete any and all tasks in order to finish by the deadline.
I now further understand the official bodies of Film and TV production such as The BBFC and the GBFTE and what benefits and drawbacks their services do for the Film and TV production community.

In today's lesson we began to undergo mock interviews so that we could develop our skills and interviewing techniques. My group was Keiran, Kaylee and I.

I feel that we showed professionalism this week by taking part and completing our mock interviews to the best of our abilities and in a mature professional manner.

Personally, i found the interview relatively easy as i had recently been in interviews prior to today. I did manage to struggle  in certain areas i.e. What I think the wage should be and why because i never quite know how much is excessive for the job role thus making me nervous to answer. I understand that this slight hesitation could cause an employer to think whether I am a good enough candidate for the task at hand so I will try to improve this issue.

In today's lesson my team and I worked together to identify and understand the certain contracts that are used in the world of business. I was able to identify contracts such as: freelance, part time and full time.

Whilst learning about the certain contract types I displayed the skills of working in a team and being flexible to what the team leader demanded or needs me to do, I feel that this would be extremely helpful going into a professional practice. Another skill i developed was my communication skills as I had to communicate with the rest of my team in order to understand and make the best of my time on each task.

Compare and contrast working methods and practices in a range of media sectors. today my team and I studied advertising and marketing in the media sector. From this study I managed to identify that there are certain organisations in place that help regulate adverts and make sure that they are free of any form of bias in order to make sure that the advert is suitable for the consumer base.

This can also be linked to the print media sector as the ASA also helps to control and regulate the material that is released to the public. Technological advancements have affected print as most print is now also released as e-books, articles and adverts I.e. Pop ups.

Another form used is the BPIF, which is the equivalent to ASA and also use the same code of conduct as the ASA to ensure that a print based product is completely unbiased and free of any breaches in the code of conduct.

Advertising and marketing companies are on a fixed term basis as in they finish the job when the client is satisfied and is happy to pay for the product or project that has been created, Whereas print can tend to be a freelance job where a writer will only be called up if they have a story or article worth publishing. This is a major drawback as an advertising and marketing company will be aware of the deadline and amount of clients they will be working for whereas a freelancer will be in constant doubt of when they will be needed.

When applying for an animation job i would need to demonstrate my work through a portfolio and/or showreel. Reels should last about 2-3 minutes and detail the specific contribution i had made to the work. Recruiters will look for a variety of genres and styles; walk and run cycles, as well as more fully developed sequences; and, perhaps most important, an ability to portray a character’s personality through movement and behaviour.

3.QA tester- A QA tester is responsible for testing a game and suggesting things that can refine the game in orde to ensure the games quality and its playability. I won’t need a specific qualification to be a QA Tester, although some programming knowledge or experience would be beneficial to the job. A good standard of English (both written and verbal) is needed in order to document your findings and communicate them to colleagues.

The most important thing for this job is to be an avid game player. I would need to be able to demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the games industry, including the different platforms and games styles and genres on the market.

4.Camera Operator (Portable Single Camera)

The job of a camera operator is to support the role the director of photography and the director with shot composition and development on high budget productions.

I do not need a specific qualification to work in this role. Instead, you would usually learn the practical skills required through hands-on experience on the job. That said, continuing professional development is vital, especially as camera technology changes rapidly.

Basic stills photography, which develops visual and composition skills, also provides a useful starting point in training for this role.

Below is evidence that i have contacted games developers rocksteady to enquire about work experience placement.

From this website i can see that having a positive attitude towards a low job can give across a message that you are willing to do a job no matter how menial it is. This could show an employee that you are eager to start a career and will be willing to work as much as you can to continue working your way up to a better job.

I believe that i am a very honest, determined and trustworthy person. I think that this is best shown by my most recent work in college on my audio and visual unit. In this unit i am required to work in a team, meaning that i have people that are relying on me to complete certain things assigned to myself. By doing this i feel that i have shown to my fellow peers that i can be trusted and am commited to helping my fellow team members.
