Research and inspiration :  I have done and researched into 3 directors of my choice and selected a favorite movie from each director and what I like about in each of their film.  Researching on directors allows me to build a better understanding of the media industry and by analyzing their movies I am more able to understand about their successes and why.  2. Media industry and Academic options: in one of my posts I have included all options that can be applied for my future after leaving college this year, this could mean further education at a university, a job, apprenticeships or even a gap year.  This is beneficial for me as it gives a variety of choices to consider when leaving college, whether I seek employment or not.  3.

Creating a Showreel

Image
 In this blog I will be featuring some of my best work I made recently in a showreel.  I asked a couple of questions about my Showreel here are the responses:  What went well? 5 responses Transitions are nice, love the work you shown. The music is kinda catchy and I really liked the way you merged your videos together All of it, especially your animations. Decent soundtrack and the idea of making stopmotion animations as a showreel looked very promising. Music, Transitions and some cool work, nice logo at the end. What would you improve? 5 responses Make the video longer. I would definitely recommend making it just a tad bit longer since it’s a little too short. More featured work. You need more things to show if you want to impress someone. Like make the showreel last longer. I can’t decide but, maybe add more stuff next time?
