8. What we want from you is research in to the part of the media industry that you are
most interested in. That could be films, magazines, video games, television,
journalism… whatever you are interested in.
Find out about that industry. What jobs roles are available? What skills do people
need to work in that industry? What level of education is needed? How diverse, or
not, is the industry?
We want some good facts and figures that you can take and then use in your
illustrated guide.
Write down the information that you find, and keep a record of where you found it.
It’s best to get lots of research, and then pick the most useful information from that.
9. When making your illustrated guide, think carefully about all the elements
involved.
A good guide will have:
• Concise information
• Consistent image style
• Clear, consistent typography
• A coherent colour scheme
All of these elements need to work together to create your guide.

education, experience, skillset and look for insightful quotes about them and by them

also cut powerful dramas like One Hour Photo, Shattered Glass, Crazy Heart and

of his game, he’s also a genuine cinephile who possesses a deep knowledge and
love of the filmmaking craft. Collectively, the films Jeff has cut have earned over
4 billion dollars in global box office.
14. What we want from you is research a specific person that works in the part of the industry
you made your illustrated guide for. Focus on those involved in the production of media,
rather than people who just appear in it.
Find out as much as you can about them, to help you produce your fact file.
We want to know what their education was like, what experience they have and what skills
they have. Find quotes about them. Read about them. Get a good picture of who they are
and how they got to where they are.
Write down the information that you find, and keep a record of where you found it. It’s best
to get lots of research, and then pick the most useful information from that.
15. When making a fact file, think carefully about all the elements involved.
A good fact file will have:
• Concise and relevant information
• Quotes about the practitioner
• Information on their work and achievements
• Background on how they got in to the industry
• What insight you have taken from this that can help you in your
development?
This information can be presented with graphics, typography and a colour
scheme.
18. What are you currently doing to pursue a career in your chosen field?
Im doing Lvl 3 Creative Film and Media as a course at York college
I also do film edits of famous people / cartoon figures
19. What do you plan to do next in the pursuit of your chosen field?
Go to university and study editing
20. Select at least three potential University courses that would help you further your career aims.
You should state what the course is, which university it is run by, the entry requirements and why
you think it would help you.
Media Production BA (Hons) | York St John University (yorksj.ac.uk)
Higher National Certificate (HNC) Creative
Media… | York College
21. What type of work experience do you think you would need to help you in your future career? How might you
be able to find work experience placements? If you could pick anywhere to do work experience, where would it
be and why?
I would probably need experience in editing videos, which I believe I already have, but I
would probably need work experience in it. Right now I work at Mcdonald’s and
working at Mcdonald’s shows me the highs and the lows of working in general. I’m not
sure where I want to do work experience and would just want to work in the sector I
enjoy.
22. What specific skills do you need to develop? There should be a mix of industry specific skills and also personal
development points. When you identify these, come up with suggestions as to how you might make those
improvements.
A specific skill id need to develop would be how to use premiere pro and after effects to a
higher degree, I will watch videos regarding these like 101s or tutorials so then when I get
a job in the industry ill know what to do when it comes to editing a video.
23. In 5 years time I will…
I could still be working at McDonalds realistically but I really hope I have got someone I
edit videos for.
25. Task 4: Music Video Process Log [2.1, 2.2]
Complete the Music Video Process Log to evidence how you worked technically
during the Music Video production phase. Screenshot and explain how you managed
to get your production finalised.
There is a specific pro forma that you will use for this as part of your music video
production. Ensure that is completed with your Music Video project, to complete this
task.
27. Task 5: End of Year Review [2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2]
Produce an end of year review looking at how you have worked across the year,
considering each stage of production, which productions have worked/not worked,
how you have managed your time, what skills you have developed, how you have
worked with others and how you organised your time, resources and equipment
throughout the year. You should then produce an action plan for Year 2 selecting 5
key areas you wish to focus on to develop further.
Complete the following slides to review your year. You can add images if you want to.
You can get screenshots from any part of your previous projects to support your work
on this.
28. Which productions have worked/not worked?
The videogame project was quite hard and I think with more time I could have created
something much better. The creation of animation was never my aspiration but now I
see that it’s harder than it looks so I have lots of respect for people who do animation. I
wish I had more time and the assets at home to create something better.
On the other hand, I enjoyed making the audio project which I didn’t think I would enjoy
but did in the end. I loved editing the audio and creating a scene where you can feel
yourself fall into. When I listened to my own project I got goosebumps.
29. How you have managed your time?
In general, my time management isn’t very good at all as my job, home life and
health all come into the factors why it’s not so good. Next project I’m going to try
and make sure I manage my time better
30. What skills you have developed?
I’ve developed skills in – animation, audio editing, video editing
31. How you have worked with others?
I’d say I've worked with others quite well, I worked with others in my music video
where I had 2 actors and I also worked with others in my audio project
32. How you organised your time, resources and equipment
throughout the year?
I say I haven’t planned my time well, my resources haven’t been that good either,
if I had resources needed at home my time and resources would be better. I
haven’t really used a lot of equipment this year, I usually have used stuff that
already exists .
33. Produce an action plan for Year 2 selecting 5 key areas you wish
to focus on to develop further.
Area to work on Actions to take
Video editing Take time to research on premiere pro
Audio editing Take time to research on audit
Time management Make a time plan
Working with others Ask people to contribute
After effects Study how to use After Effects more.
