My future plans is to go to University, Im going to take a TV Production Course at either Salford University or University of Chester. I am hoping to get an Internship at a Media Company to get more hands on experience. I am going to apply for Apprenticeships at BBC and ITV and hopefully get a years work behind me.  I will also email independant companies about some work experience for the Summer holidays as well as working as a Sales Assistant at my job. After this I hope to get a job as a Studio Runner then make my way up from a Researcher, to Production Assistant, Production Manager to Producer.

I am also going to self teach myself photoshop editing skills as I feel as though this is a software I'm not that familiar with and want to improve my knowledge off. I am also going to try and improve my skills on video editing as I feel like I don't know much  about advanced editing.

Being a Producer there is some skills that I need to improve. I think one of the skills that I would need to improve is my maths skills because finance is a important part of being a producer. Maths will be in a lot of work that is done whilst being a producer, from sorting out the budget to finance of each part of the production. I feel as though I need to improve my knowledge on the regulations and codes of practise, I feel as though to become a Producer I need a little more experience and get to know how different companies work.

Being a Director there is some skills that I need to improve. I think one of  the skills needed that I need to improve is working for intensively for long hours because I love sleep and enjoy spending time with family and friends however in some cases being a Director means not having a social life for days at a time. I also can become tired easily so I would need to go to sleep earlier or take  regular breaks. I also think that self belief is a very important skill to have as a Director however sometimes I think my work isn't good enough and get myself down about it so I need to stop thinking so negative about my work. I feel as though sometimes I can be awkward around people I don't know so I feel like I need to become more confident with myself and talking to other people.

If I wanted to become a Director I would need a variety of different skills from verbal communication to practical  experience and creativity.  I think I'm quite a bubbly and approachable person. I feel as though i'm a good listener as well as communicator whether that is face to face communication to emailing. Being a Director you also need some practical experience, I feel as though I have some experience directing actors and other crew however I feel this would need to be improved to a high standard. I am a creative individual as I love coming up with my own ideas or extending an idea as a team member. I am good at paying attention to detail as i'm a perfectionist and I am also determined to succeed but also motivate myself and others because I have a deep passion for film making. I think I have good artistic vision and creative skills because I am always creating something. My highest skill is probably commitment, I always put 100% into everything I do and i'm always committed to getting the job done.
