Once I've finished Long Road I will hopefully be attending Anglia Ruskin University to study Media Studies. I am hoping to carrying on working for Huntingdon Council and other free lance work during my time in University. With the aid of Anglia I'll be able to borrow the best equipment and get feedback from Media professionals teaching there. With aid of my skills that I have learnt during Long Road I should be able to gain a quick start at University. The use of PhotoShop and Premier Pro will be essential for my editing future in University. By having these skills before University, will boost my confidence and choice of roles within class.
Skills
- Premier Pro
- Photo Shop
- Garageband
- Out of the box thinker
- After Effects
I have a brilliant understanding of editing software such as Premier Pro because I've been working on it for more than 3 years now. I have wide range of skills that can be applied in further education such as University. I feel confident using these programs because of the experience I have with them e.g. documentary project.
After I have finished University I plan to obtain the job I've been striving to get for my many years in education. I'm hoping to end up working for someone like E4, BBC or ITV as they all important and successful in the Media industry. If I'm unsuccessful or somehow don't desire he job anymore I will develop my free lance work and see where that pursues me e.g. film festivals or part time documentary. I have already done a few free lance projects so this won't be impossible to achieve.
While studying at Anglia Ruskin I will try to gather a group of students to create an online portfolio to gain experience and hopefully free lance opportunities. If successfully finding a group we could potentially create a part time company/business for free lance stuff e.g. photoshoots and small documentaries. I've listed in my personal audit that I could buy a camera + tripod from Amazon or Curry's. This won't be necessary as I could borrow all this equipment from Anglia Ruskin as they allow there Media students access to their equipments whenever.
What I have:
- Camera
- Apple Mac
- Editing software e.g. iMovie
- Laptop
- Sound Recorder
- Editing software (Premier Pro - PhotoShop) Abobe Editing Suite
- Crew from University or friends
- Actors from University or friends
- Sound equipment from University or friends
- Props e.g. costumes and sets from University or friends
- Professional filming camera from University or friends
- Tripod from University or friends
Contingency Plan:
If my plan doesn't pan out, for example not getting enough points to get into Anglia then I will use the 'Clearance' plan provided by UCAS. This plan allows students to search for courses with lower requirements e.g. 260 to high so they provide a course for 220. If I'm not able to attend university sue to the lack of points I will have to expand my portfolio online and increase the popularity of my work. In other words I will have to go free lance and use the skills I have already learnt from Long Road to find a job. I could possibly attend a course at CRC to increase my UCAS points but as I'm older than 18 I would have to pay, which in my case isn't a option at the moment. Finally I could apply for an apprenticeship here http://www.indeed.co.uk/Media-Apprenticeships-jobs. This will provide experience while also giving me income to purchase things in the future. In my opinion an apprenticeship isn't such a bad contingency plan. I should be able to get an a apprenticeship with my current skills.
