| Strengths/skills you can offer an employer | Provide an explanation of where you demonstrated these skills |
| Leadership and organisation | Directing and producing a range of productions at university where I had to control productions crews with up to 15 people in at different times. Organising live productions as well as film projects where I had to organise equipment and risk assessments, also shot lists and storyboards. |
| Ability to work individually or with co workers | I have worked on a large amount of productions with a crew ranging on sizes from 3 up to 15, however I also work well on my own when creating previous storyboards and writing scripts. |
| Flexibility | Able to work and whatever times necessary. Previous productions worked on have been at a range of times, either starting early in the morning or late at night. Long hours are also no issues with the length of production days. |
| Problem- solving skils | From directing previous productions, I have had to solve many problems such as lighting issues, camera angles, how to earn certain shots by creating my own tracks and re organising when certain aspects have gone wrong. |
| Motivation | Motivation has been key in every piece of work I have created in order to achieve the best mark and highest grade possible. |
| Possible area of employment that interest you | Size of organisation (e.g. regional, national, international?) | Type of output if appropriate (radio, print, web-based, TV, film/video) | Reasons for your choice | Is further research into the jobs market/necessary skillset needed? (If so, include details) |
| High School teacher
Subjects of media, film and english |
Regional or national | Written and web based for teaching skills | My strength lie in helping and teaching others. Bringing out the best in young people and increasing their abilities is my passion. Using my media degree would create a leeway to teach this subject alongside other subjects. | Yes, further qualifications such as a PGCE as well as work experience in the subjects at different schools and different levels. |
| Speech therapist | National | Branded content being created for advertisement, possibly written/ print and video | After watching my grandfather lose his speech through Motor Neurone Disease, I have always wanted to help people who struggle with their speech. | Yes, further qualifications – you must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). To register with the HCPC, you first need to successfully completean approved degree. |
| Grip camera department | Possible international at high enough standard | TV, film/ video
– Commercial, short film & feature film |
With a degree in media production behind me, once graduating, I can use all the skills I have learnt with my creative ideas to my best ability. | No further qualifications than my media degree would be needed, however whatever experience gained and gaining the correct contacts would gain work.
