Today I visited the local job fair at the civic centre alongside my tutor group.

Throughout the majority of the time I did not speak to any of the people at the booths as the area was overcrowded and loud meaning it was hard to access people to talk to and communicate.

Having said that, I am not majorly focused on getting a part-time job whilst at college, due to the fact that I want to focus on getting good grades.

Although this is my personal opinion, my current tutor Lorraine Love introduced me to a lady who worked for Monsoon/Accessorize. She stated how they were looking for people who could work a variety of hours in their Bishop Stortford store.

This did appeal to me in the fact that the hours are variable dependent on a person's situation, however the travel for me would be slightly inconvinent as the bus costs £6.80 for a return to Bishop Stortford and back which would rack up quite a lot of money in comparison to my wages.

CV Feedback by Sophie Blackmore and Bradley

# data[].attributes.body
I received feedback from Sophie Blackmore and a volunteer tutor Bradley.

Bradley stated how he believed the predicted grades I had included on my CV were not important and that I should remove them. Also, he mentioned how employer's do not really seek out information about the primary school their potential employees attended.

I also got feedback from a peer, Sophie Blackmore, who stated that she liked the title I had included of my name in bold as it separated my name from all of the other information.

Sophie also said that she liked the layout of my CV as it is easy to read and looks polished. Alongside the layout, she also positively commented on the way I presented the awards I got at school in a table without any borders.

I am aware that I need to make some changes and additions, including a personal statement, in order to improve my CV.

As part of the preparation for our open evening, my class and I met downstairs in the college reception at 16:45 to have our instructions delivered to us by Delta Muntean.

Through that briefing, I was instructed to go back to the media open plan. There I would be conducting an audio and visual experimentation with our technical tutor Dave Jameson, as part of our unit 5 and 6 assignment. We were to complete this experimentation not only to develop the skills as part of our assignment, but also to give those visiting on the open evening an insight into what we do in media at Harlow College.

Following returning back to the open plan, Dave explained our task and guided us through the steps we needed to complete. He also allowed us to experiment with the Garage Band app and Adobe Premiere Pro to create a suitable soundtrack for an industry advert. I used a soundtrack I had previously created on Garage Band because I thought that the tone was suitable for the sports energy drink advert.

Once we had finished editing the sound with the visuals, we went on to create our own voiceovers using a Tascam, boom microphone and a set of headphones. The script for the video was supplied to us and we simply had to read it out whilst recording with the Tascam and boom microphone. Whilst one person was doing so, another would listen to the audio to check it was suitable.

Upon finishing this, we went back to our current edits and attempted to upload the audio we had just recorded; we did not have enough time, as it was our turn to give visitors tours around the media department.

As the evening panned out, I ended up only giving one tour to a mother and son alongside another student Sophie Blackmore. Normally in a situation like this, I would feel awkward and uncomfortable talking to a stranger, however I found that being in a pair improved my confidence. Due to the confidence boost, I ended up making conversation with the mother about our media course and what it has to offer.

Once we had completed the tour, she praised us for being informative and said that we had done a really good job. It was really lovely to hear such nice feedback about what we had done.

After this, I returned back to reception with Sophie where we spoke to another parent who was curious about the course (on behalf of his daughter). We discussed the contents of the course and what it has to offer for current and prospective media students.

Upon finishing this conversation, nobody else came up to ask questions or for a tour of the media department.

In future, I would like to tour with more people if possible and hopefully gain the confidence to independently give parents and children a tour of the media department.

After writing my last diary entry, I received an email from the client and he is busy working on a job; intends to contact us as soon as he's finished in order to continue with work.

As of the 10/01/17, nothing has developed in my work experience. I have contacted the client, but have received no reply.

Since the new year has begun nothing in regards to my work experience placement has happened. On Friday, all members of our team are going to be in college so we can meet and discuss what is going to occur in the near future.

Before the 21st of December I messaged my team saying that I would be unreachable on my usual phone number from 21/12/16 onwards as I was on holiday; I gave them an alternative phone number to use in case of emergency.

As well as this, as producer I asked them to complete some of their documentation e.g. finishing storyboards and shot lists, but I have yet to see evidence of this work being completed on our Padlet wall. Said Padlet wall is: https://padlet.com/emmaboys/t8r1lcu6akh

Following sending our client a message, I hope to receive a reply specifying when he is available to meet with the team and I to discuss the storyboard we sent him, and any further plans or ideas.

Over the past couple of days, I have been completing a rough draft of/editing some of the pre-production documentation, all of which I have uploaded to our Padlet wall for the Meet the Artist production. These documents can be viewed using the following link: https://padlet.com/emmaboys/t8r1lcu6akh

Some of the documents I have drafted/edited are as follows:
* Production schedule - Electronic copy
* Risk assessments
* Contingency plan
* Equipment booking form

All of these documents will be helpful in the future as they will aid the production process and enable us to work smoothly as a production. For example, we have already had to take out a contingency plan when our client was unable to attend a meeting with us due to other commitments, of which we solved by taking photographs of his studio for the location recces.

During the allotted work experience week, my team and I have been working on pre-production documentation as our client notified us that he would be unable to film for the video until the New Year.

On 13/12/16, Callum, Sophie and I worked on the storyboard together and managed to further complete another two pages. Between us we brainstormed ideas for the video and explored various different aspects of Mark's art that we could include in the video.

This process ended up taking four and a half hours, with an hours break for lunch.

On 05/12/16, from our production team only Callum and I met with our artist, Mark L'Argent, as our fellow team member Sophie Dunkley was ill.

During the meeting Callum and I had with the client, we asked questions in regards to the video we would be creating for him. As well as this, we also got to see some more of the space we could potentially film in, as our artist revealed to us that he would be moving into a larger studio at the mill. This was extremely helpful as it enabled us to broaden our ideas for the video we are creating for the client.

Following this meeting, Callum and I had a team meeting where we began constructing a storyboard for the video. I believe we were effective in this team meeting as we managed to complete two pages and explored various creative directions for the video.

Upon completion of these two pages, we returned back to college to have a meeting with the Young Professionals team. In this meeting we discussed whereabouts we were in the production of the video, with the team members Leanne West and Simon Boyce. As well as this, we were informed that if necessary, we could borrow equipment from them to film as the media department themselves may not be able to supply us with the equipment we want or need.

After this meeting, I had to return back to college work as it again was during one of my college days that I completed some hours of my work experience.

At the beginning of today, I travelled to Pardon Mill to attend a work experience meeting with our client and supervisor Roger Lee. Sadly, our client was unable to attend the meeting, so I just met our supervisor Roger Lee.

During this meeting, my team and I were given information on health and safety and were even allowed to operate a fire extinguisher in the case of the event of a fire. As well as this, I was shown around the building in which I would be working for some of my work experience placement. As I am working on a Young Professionals brief, I will be working as part of team to create a product for a client. Our client is a calligrapher who wants a video created for his website which allows potential clients to 'Meet the Artist'.

As we were faced with the issue of not being able to meet our client Mark L'Argent, we compromised and took photos and videos of his studio and the mill itself, so that we could prepare a shot list and have photos ready for the location recces.

Following this meeting with Roger Lee, my team and I had a team meeting in a coffee shop, where we discussed potential shots we wanted to use in the video. As well as this, we discussed team names, decided on job roles and confirmed which equipment we wanted to include on our equipment list.

Our team meeting concluded at 12:30pm, to which I returned back to college to complete other work.
