Unit 8 Assignment 4
The video below is my Show Reel
Video Editor
The role of a video editor strikes me the most as its something i personally enjoy doing, The pay seems slightly above average, however its not a bad pay at all for something so enjoyable. It would also help you with new skills as in college or at home youre limited to what you can use...where as if this was your job you'd have funding etc and the ability to buy much more expensive things and open your horizon a little bit with your creativity. Also it says its in London which of course is the capital of England and known as one of the more successful places in Europe. Quite allot of big names have come out of London, maybe you'd be working with some of these bigger names? A Job like this could really have allot of twists and turns that could get you more recognised etc and just be an amazing opportunity.

A Job like this could really have allot of twists and turns that could get you more recognised etc and just be an amazing opportunity.
Social Media Producer
A social media producer is responsible for promoting the social media accounts for a network, for example if you work for ITVs social media team you are in charge of interacting with the public, wether it be responding to peoples tweets or releasing posters online etc. Usually the social media producer is in charge of the suite for a company. SO For example ITV might have 6 different channels and then 6 different social media accounts, one per channel. So you'd be the 'chief' and have a media team under your wing to help you out. This job would definitely be interesting. Being in charge of a media account must sound abit boring to some people but to me i think being in charge of whats being sent out socially is a big deal? Its something id happily do, i dont know if thats because im young and my 'generation' revolves around social media, and then we i get older i might find it annoying and boring, but at my current state/age its something id be more than happy to do as a living?
Graphic Designer
A graphic designer is responsible for designing the illustrations used by a company, for example maybe the companies logo? the companies promotional posters? and so on. The job iv found is in manchester, which for me would be convenient. Its £10 an hour which is just under double the average wage which is usually £5-6.50 so £10 an hour is a good pay for such an enjoyable job. The actual job advert states they produce bespoke commerical and social productios that innovate inspire and create suistainable change. This is quite a reassuring thing to read for someone that wants to apply for this job as it tells them what you'd be upto and what the companies about as a whole. Overall an amazing job to have if its your scene and could open up a MASSIVE pathway for you.
SHORT COURSES
The hyperlink above is a link to a Adobe after effects short course introduction, this would be an option for me as im not going to University so a course like this would keep my skills at a modern standard. This course covers basic skills such as adjustment layers and filters and other basic skills like key-framing, these are skills im already pretty comfertable with but im sure theres new things i could learn on a short course like that.
This course touches the basics of editing, it touches on, Fundamental elements of graphic design, Design vocabulary, Fundamentals of Adobe Photoshop, Abstraction of ideas, Coherent representations. This is basically all the standard things you'd require to go down the graphics path, The photoshop part is probably the most important part of the course as its the most noticed software in the graphic industry. This course WOULD appeal to me however i prefer editing over graphic design so id probably stay in my own lane and carry on down the editing path
This course is all about typography which iv fiddled around with myself a few times, I used typography in our Healthy Eating Documentary to stress that fast food is everywhere and who are the main consumers. It played out really well and looked fairly professional for a college student. This course itself is mainly about designing Logos in a typographic way. This course WOULD help me as my knowledge is very bland and basic on the typographic front. i know the bare minimum so a course like this would help me grasp a better knowledge of typographic things and how to produce better things.
Social media marketing is a short course that rotates around
how to create a social media strategy to build your business and online marketing campaign. You will learn the tools you need to build a network and run social media campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other platforms...

Thursday, 15 January 2015
IDEA
My Idea is a News based show on Gaming and the "World of gaming" Comparing newer games to other newer games, talking about new releases that are upcoming.
Segment 1: talking about new technology and possibly some technology that you didn't even know existed. Such as Oculus Rift, a virtual reality mask that simulates the feeling of realism. Talking about top 5 gaming technology such as The Steam Machine which is a console version of the famous Computer gaming playform Steam. Virtuix omni, which is basically a gaming suit which is like the xbox kinect but obviously much more sensitive and effective. This segment will last around 5/8 minutes
Segment 2: Gaming news, such as whats going on with certain games, for example, GTA 5 For PC, the release date has been pushed to the 15th of March instead of January. This has left PC Gamers FURIOUS. - GTA Release Date Pushed!
Other news such as what games have been less of a success than people thought or better, for example Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare, it did much better than people thought it would as people didnt expect much after how much of a let down CoD: Ghosts was. Id feature games from each Genre, Horror, Combat, Adventure and so on.
My Target Audience would be 12+ as i dont want to include games rated PG or under. I want to include bigger games and more often than not the bigger games are usually rated 15/18s. This Segment should last another 5/8 minutes
I want my idea presented in a kind of style like IGN or DramaAlert with just one or two hosts with a PC Made graphics border
For my crew, id require:
3 Camera Operators
2 Vision Mixers
1 Sound
and Of Course Id need a floor manager.
