2. Creative Industry
• I am currently in my third, and final year of
Television and Film Production at the University
of Portsmouth
• Once I have graduated I hope to go into the
television industry. Although I am still interested
in film, television interests me more.
• In the television industry I would like to be
either a producer or floor manager.
3. Producer
One of the roles I am interested in, is the role of
the producer.
This role entails such things as overseeing the
production of a show or programme.
Overseeing a production includes lots of
paperwork, such as budgets and call sheets, so it
is important to be well organised for such a role.
4. Floor Manager
My other role I would like to be in the television
industry is a floor manager.
Being a floor manager you are in charge of all the
crew on set, making sure everyone knows what
they are doing, that everything is working and
running to time.
To be a floor manager you need certain skills
such as confidence to lead a group and an
understanding of the equipment that is being
used on set.
6. Tumblr
I use my tumblr blog to promote my videos and
repost articles and pictures for example from the
library. I have chosen to create 2 blogs, one for
the industry and one for personal use. I decided to
do this so I would not create the wrong impression
towards possible employee’s.
For the layout of my tumblr blog I have kept it
simplistic and clean. I have done this so it is easy
to navigate around and the background, for
example is not too distracting.
7. Website
To accompany my tumblr I have created a website solely devoted to my work. I have
done this so it is all in one place for people to view and also a chance to show my work
off to potential employers. I am also in the process of purchasing a domain name for my
website.

8. Business Cards and Logos
For my business card I have
teamed up with Oliver Tubb,
who is currently in his third year
studying illustration at the
University of Portsmouth also.
The main image that I would like
to incorporate in my logo and
business cards is the caricature
of my profile. I have decided to
try and use this as it is
something you don’t see
everyday, and I hope to grab
people’s attention with it. To the
left is an example of this image.
9. Business Cards
This year I am Head of
Entertainment at UPSU TV, this
means I already have a business
card, although I am going to make
my own personal ones for when I
graduate. To the left, is the card I
currently have and on the next
slide are a few ideas of what I want
when I graduate.
From the card I already have it
gives me ideas what needs to be
on my next one, such as a QR
code straight to my work, my social
network links and most importantly,
several ways of getting in touch
with me,
11. Logo
To go with my business card
I am also in the process, with
the help of Oliver of creating
a logo to appear on my
business cards, website,
social medias and more.
Here are a couple of ideas
that we have so far come up
with. At the moment they are
created from online
resources until I have
opportunity to create my own
from scratch.
12. Show Reel
To truly show off my skills that I have gained in the past 3 years I
am currently in the process of putting together a show reel which
I can upload to my blog, linkedIn and website. Due to other
commitments I am still in the planning stage of my show reel, so
here are some of the notes and storyboards of what I plan to do.
13. Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
• With the use of my tumble
blog, website, business card
designs and show reel I
have given myself a good
chance of promoting myself
positively for starting work in
the industry.
• The research and website /
blog building have given me
new skills which I can also
mention.
Weaknesses
• I do not have my showreel
ready to send out.
• My business cards are still
in the development stage.
• I have been busy with
other work and have not
been keeping my blog up
to date, as I had planned
ot do at the start of the
year.
14. To do:
• Confirm business card design and have them
made.
• Make showreel
• Keep blog and website up to date.
