Deadlines- I need to double check all of my work before the deadline so i am not waisting valuable time correcting the mistakes i made and didn't check or fix.
Focus and attention- I need to manage my distractions in class by moving away from distractions or listening to music so i am separated from the rest of the class and i can get all of my work done to a good standard.
Organisational skills- I need to keep note of all of my deadlines on my desktop and i also need to make use of digital calendars so i get reminders when i have upcoming deadlines.

How I was professional in my other units

# data[].attributes.body
When i have been in groups for my other units i have always contributed ideas to the rest of the group and I would always help with the work and do my roll to the best of my abilities. I have worked very well in unit 5-6 because i was the person that wrote the script and made the backgrounds using photoshop as I had knowledge of the program from previous experience. This has all helped me progress throughout college and the units I have done, this will also help when I have finished college and hopefully move on to an appreciate which I can use my professionalism to show how willing I am to get the work done and to a good standard.

I have managed my time very well today so i have completed all of the work on time and to a good standard.
To meet all of my deadlines i have been using my study days and my time after work to complete any outstanding work and improve any work that was not completed to a good standard.
My planning is much better than it was last term because I have experienced the troubles that come from a lack of planning.

The questions:
Internal progression
1. what is a traineeship and how does it help you?
2. what are the things you need to consider if you move to another course at the college?
3. what do you need to prepare when you make an application to another course at the college?

Today we planned and wrote our own personal statement. I learnt a lot about what a personal statement needs to contain and how i can make mine effective so it attracts the reader and makes them interested in you so they continue to read my CV and hopefully give me the job.

I am a very hard working individual, I am very good at talking to adults in a formal and mature environment as I have spent time volunteering at a local refrigeration company, I have also done a weeks worth of work experience at a graphic marketing company called “Juice Creative”. They taught me different things about using Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign to a professional standard by tasking me to design my own record company and create a logo, album cover and a business card. This work experience influenced me to use there skills in the film industry as I tested my skills by making posters for the short films I made at home. I am good at editing videos because I spent a lot of my time in school editing the films I made in film studies, I also took time out of my day to film any extra shots needed for the video or just to carry on editing because I enjoy it and I like the outcome, all of this has given me lots of experience with editing videos. I have spent a lot of time working in teams to create short films, these teams mostly consisted of friends and family but in school i made some short films with people that i didn't know but once we set the different tasks in our group we were very organised and we managed to get the film made with good quality and the whole team benefited from it because it was a more professional way of creating the short film.

I contributed research to my team and i wrote up answers to two of the questions to the worksheet and emailed them to my team leader who compiled all of our answers into one document.

To be a good graphic designer, you will need certain skills in order to make your work stand out as much as you can from other competitors. You would also need good are skills to draw plans or animated characters on posters as it is very important that you get the picture right in the way that it needs to be eye catching and make people want to find out more about the subject of the poster, you also need to be able to make the viewer feel a certain way when they see your poster so you get the right response to people seeing it. You need to be friendly and listen to peoples ideas so you make the posters or leaflets that your client wants and you need to stick to their idea otherwise they will ask you to do it again and you will have waisted yours and your clients time. You must have good photography skills because you need to take photos at the right angles to make the poster have the right effect on the person looking at it, this will also need good photoshop skills to you can change the mood of the poster using different filters/brightness settings.

You must not lie in any articles you write. You must also not be bias against a person you are writing about because it could come across as offensive and you will get in a lot of trouble for it so it is best to avoid being bias and always see both sides of a story. You must keep your articles and posters “clean” meaning you cant have any bad language or inappropriate pictures in the things you produce. here are the codes of conduct presented by the National Union of Journalists:

1. At all times upholds and defends the principle of media freedom, the right of freedom of expression and the right of the public to be informed.

2. Strives to ensure that information disseminated is honestly conveyed, accurate and fair.

3. Does her/his utmost to correct harmful inaccuracies.

4. Differentiates between fact and opinion.

5. Obtains material by honest, straightforward and open means, with the exception of investigations that are both overwhelmingly in the public interest and which involve evidence that cannot be obtained by straightforward means.

6. Does nothing to intrude into anybody’s private life, grief or distress unless justified by overriding consideration of the public interest.

7. Protects the identity of sources who supply information in confidence and material gathered in the course of her/his work.

8. Resists threats or any other inducements to influence, distort or suppress information and takes no unfair personal advantage of information gained in the course of her/his duties before the information is public knowledge.

9. Produces no material likely to lead to hatred or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age, gender, race, colour, creed, legal status, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation.

10. Does not by way of statement, voice or appearance endorse by advertisement any commercial product or service save for the promotion of her/his own work or of the medium by which she/he is employed.

11. A journalist shall normally seek the consent of an appropriate adult when interviewing or photographing a child for a story about her/his welfare.

12. Avoids plagiarism.

As you can see from this most of the different working methods are not similar at all but they all link between each other such as part-time and full-time both have steady and contracted pay flows meaning you will not be cheated on how much you are paid because there will be set hours and wages in the contract. The ones that are very different are full-time and freelance because freelancers only get paid what they agree with their client and it is only a small project so they need to find lots of different jobs which can get stressful if you have too many but sometimes you will find yourself with no jobs meaning you have to manage your money effectively so you don't run out of money. You do not have any of these problems in a full time job because all of your hours and wages are put onto a contract so they cant be changed until the contract runs out.

1.1 Locate, access and use information to support own development.

I would like to be a cinematographer on the set of films and TV shows because I have a passion for filming and I have found that directing is a good place for me but I specialise in camera shots and angles so cinematography became a passion for me so when I began making short films I made sure I was in charge of cinematography because that is where I am strongest.

The skills I have at the moment include: Experience with photoshop, Indesign and illustrator from my first week of work experience in which I used all of these programs to create a record company. I can also formally talk to people in a business environment because I have been to many job interviews and I have been taught how to present myself by a successful business owner.

I have researched jobs by using job sites such as indeed and reed. These have been helpful because they tell you what you need to do to get this job and other people have reviewed the jobs so you can get a more informal opinion on the job so you know everything about the job before you apply for it so you can skip any jobs that don't suit you so you are not waisting time applying for jobs that you will turn down when you get more details.

Some job sites only gave you their opinion on the job so you only had a very vague description of the job meaning some of the jobs that sound perfect turned out to be unsuitable for me due to things like hours and what I will really be doing in the job.

To get to my job in cinematography I will either find an apprenticeship in the film industry and work my way up so I can get on set and then work as a cinematographer but I will need to be very lucky to get these places with my current qualifications so my alternative route would be to take film studies in university and get better qualifications so I can go straight into work in the film industry after my university course has finished.

I will need to make sure I can constantly learn more about the industry I am working in so I can progress and make people want to promote me so I can advance my way through the film industry. I will need to use the money I get from my job to get better equipment for filming so I cam make better short films outside of work so I have some work behind me when I begin working on set as a cinematographer.

I have previously worked in the graphic marketing industry so I could get used to using the programs they use such as photoshop and illustrator meaning I can enter the film industry by making film posters and adverts so I will then have contacts in the industry that may take me on to shadow them or work along side them.

I may go to university to study film studies because it would allow me to build up my knowledge of film and give me better qualifications so I can get a job in the film industry. If i do take this course I plan to take it at Gloucestershire University because they are very passionate about film and I believe they will be the best people to teach me more about film.

For my last work experience week I went to "Juice creative" as they have worked with my dad in the past and they have just started working with him again and juice have said they would be happy to take me on again to advance my knowledge of the creative marketing industry. This has made juice my first choice for my next work experience placement because they have invited me and because they are a very skilled company as part of the Industry that I want to work in.

Attendance/ punctuality to lessons

i have been on time to all of my lessons this week. This is no different to last term because i plan ahead and make sure i arrive early so i am never late.

research and analysis skills

I am good at researching things but i need to be better at evidencing them so my research is shown and the information i get from it is evidenced.

confidence in verbal and written communication.

My confidence has not changed since the last term but I am hoping to be more confident during this unit as i put it to practice throughout this unit to improve these skills.

Organisational skills

I am very organised with my work because i am good at managing time effectively and i store all of my work for this unit in the same folder so none of it gets mixed up with other work.

identify what you need to improve this week

I need to ask questions if i do not understand the task so i don't end up falling behind because of not understanding the task i am given.

I am trustworthy because in my current job I am trusted with locking up a warehouse full of vehicles worth a very large sum of money.

I am very punctual because I have never been late since I was first employed.

I am committed to the tasks i am given because I like to know what I have done a good job and i have contributed to the company i work for.

I am flexible because i have previously given up my own time to work extra hours and help at events such as weddings and christmas parties.

I am very honest because i think that if i needed to take time off i would only take it off if i had a valid reason and i would not lie about something happening to get time off from work.

I am determined in the workplace because i will not stop until a job has been done properly or at least to my employers standards.
