Screen Skills industry preperation


 Today from 12:00 to 14:00 we had a lesson by Kate Lander about what recruiters are looking for and viewing showreels of students. We learnt to tailor our show reels to the brief but, more importantly ensure the CV is good enough for the employers to want to see the showreel in the first place. The CV should introduce my value/ what I can bring via experience and then show my showreel as it basically makes a claim and the reel supports the evidence. Vimeo is best for showing Showreels and Artstation is best for portfolios. The CV should ba a PDF of maximum two pages with a one page cover latter also PDF in the same document. The application will use key words, so using them will help my texts stand out when scanned by the application bot. This was a very helpful lesson.

I was also unaware of After Effects, as I prioritized Adobe Premiere above it. However, I have found After Effects more user-friendly and powerful, regardless of my prior history with other editing software. As displayed in my blog posts by me, I did have to look at Youtube for help, and I was honest with that to help me improve on unfamiliar equipment.

Major not losing lighting
