Task 3
In this document, I will be planning how to maintain a workflow,
outlining the following specialism video editing in the creative media sector.
In order to showcase my work to other companies in the creative media sector I
need to take notice of what events are around me. For example, there are films
festivals that go on in London by taking part of these type of events not only
will it promote my editing and filming skills. This could also reach out to
employers looking for freelance editors to make their films or videos better.
Also, I will have to market myself so creating a YouTube account or a website
that has all my work on so that if people are interested in the kind of work I
produce this will generate more opportunities to build clients or jobs that will
benefit me in the future. There is this website that is suited for the creative
media industry it doesn't necessarily mean working in London. There are also
opportunities to travel out of London to help edit and film the film or video
that the person posts for other freelancers. However, there can be a
disadvantage as most of the time when freelancing you don't always get paid or
on time. There can be risks when taking a free-lanced job as you are being
consistently working and your pay can be insufficient to live on. There might
be better job opportunities overseas for freelancing as the creative media
sector can be hugely populated in The US or in Asia. Film studies in some
schools are mostly theory so knowledge based depending on the resources and facility
open to students to make videos, whereas other filming schools are beneficial
in doing the more active and practice, so that you both learning whilst doing
the work. I'm planning to look at what type of film schools or schools that
specialise in the creative media industry have to offer to me. As, my
weaknesses can be improved further into the career I want to achieve in the
media sector.
Whilst studying I also need to make a website or social media account
that promotes the work I make so during my break I can be working to help me
get better in the skills I might be lacking in. This will better my
understanding and being able to work under deadlines and have enough time to
produce a standard amount of work to allow my work to reach more people.
From a website I read
from it says "45% work in the workforce whereas 58% work as freelancers
and 68% are permanent worker. This tells me that if I choose to work for TV
broadcasts like the BBC or ITV there's a chance I could become a permanent
worker there or be recommended to other TV networks. Being a video editor can
both work for different job purposes e.g. music video, advertisements, live
videos or TV dramas. Working as a freelance video editor can generate different
types of jobs instead of the single job you would have at a TV network.
Being familiar with
job-hunting will help to find better opportunities as this actively makes you
want to experience more of what goes on through the creative media industry.
This will also benefit to have aspirations to what you would like to achieve in
the future moving on from studying.
In conclusion, I think that the main priority to
follow this career path is to make a portfolio demonstrating all the skills and
knowledge representing what you are able to create. As, this is used as an
online CV updating with new content can bring more awareness to you type of
style in videos and whether you can accept challenges to better your skills and
knowledge that is achievable.
