Job titles

Job titles


Choose at least 3 different specific non HOD jobs: (e.g: boom operator, focus puller and props master) that are of interest to you

Why are you interested?
1.       Photographer assistant
2.       Runner
3.       Video photographer assistant

What skills/experiences do you already have that will be helpful?
For the job titles I am interested in, these are the skills I already have. For the photographer assistant jobs, I have digital photography knowledge and in the last year, I have been practising taking photo in the studio. I have basic Photoshop skills. I am familiar with the features of a camera and what they do. I also have basic editing skills that might also help me with video photographer assistant jobs. I am pretty confident with how studio lighting works and what to do and the effects.
If I was to be a runner in the Media industry, these are the skills that I already have which are: being flexible, being able to listen and take on instructions, being able to work under pressure which is a skill I have developed and I am still working on, and also being able to deal with other people who are under pressure and keeping them calm. I think I am proactive and I can prioritise well but because I haven’t had experience in the media industry yet it will be interesting to find out.  I have a good understanding of Google applications and I enjoyed networking at a recent event.

What skills/ experiences will you need to develop?
The skills and experiences I need to develop are, actually starting to work alongside photographers/professional photographers. I need to improve on my editing skills and become more advanced in my editing. I should take every work experience opportunity and not be too selective.
I need to expand my knowledge of photography techniques such as stop motion photography/light photography, techniques for abstract photography and fine art. I need to explore camera settings and know what effect they give to an image. I will also need to work on my photoshop skills to retouch photos. I need to keep up to date with fashion trends in order to be able to style models if they were to come for a shoot.
The skills I have to learn to be the best runner that I could be is work on my organisational skills. I need to work on my time management skills and finding ways to overcome hurdles. I might need to look at doing things a bit differently because I am in a wheelchair.

Drake Sprite: The Spark Tv advert analysis

Drake Sprite Advert Analysis Persuasive methods; The first persuasive is Experts , the 'sprite drink' have used Drake as an representation of the infamous fizzy drink, it shows drake drinking the drink and being motivated to start new music, this attracts the audience's eye as Drake is a well known worldwide artist, and therefore this helps promote the product more and gain more attraction as the audience would be interested in purchasing the drink as Drake showed in the advert that it is a refreshing drink and is his favourite which helps the audience (who see drake as their idol) be more attracted as the actions and what 'idols' drink, wear and do, people love to repeat it so they can be like them.

Photography Presentations

· Creative Intention What is your chosen genre of photography as discussed in class? My chosen genre of photography is portraiture, abstract and fine art. The reason why I have chosen this genre is because I have been researching and looking at different photographers’ work and throughout my findings I came to realise how much I like the idea of combining art and more specifically abstract art into photography. Explain your concept/theme for this genre. The theme chosen is a representation of the darkness and brightness of the world’ issues of today at all levels from people, violence, wars, knife crime, mental health issues, poverty, animals extinction, politicians, immigration, environmental damage (pollution).... You need to explain your approach to your ideas and why you have chosen them? My  ideas is to represent the issues are that going on in this world and how I perceive these issues. I feel photography is like a pathway that is meant to pass a m...

Moving Image and Sound Evaluation

Moving Image and Sound Evaluation In evaluating the process of completing the assignment, I firstly done the case studies for the three documentary styles, which were exploratory, observational and participatory and find the definitions of them. For all three of them, I had to do a seperate case study and talk about the techniques used and why those techniques were chosen for example; touch ups, close ups and voice overs, as well as explaining why the producer uses those techniques.   Our teacher put us into different groups of three, and we had to brainstorm different ideas for the documentary we wanted to produce. For each of the different documentary styles, I had the choice of working with a different group or the same group as before. We had to come up with ideas that would have features of the style of documentary for example; exploratory has voice overs, which is commonly facts, figures and statistics. The positive aspect of working in a group was that it helped us to...
