B1 Constructing a Profile: Website Design

My Website:

 https://aaronlaw316.wixsite.com/my-site

When I was creating my website, the software that I used was Wix, a free to use website editor. To begin I was given the option of choosing what kind of website to create, to which I responded Portfolio.


After this, I was given the option to choose a template for my site.


The template that I chose was graphic designer because I believe that this template was the best suited to that of a video editor.


After choosing this template, I began to customise different aspects of the website to my own liking. I moved the 'Horizontal Menu' to the top of the screen, oppose to the bottom as well as changing all of the default 'Sasha Blake' pieces of text to Aaron Law. I also chose to change the background colour of the website's 'Home Page' by selecting 'Change Page Background' and then going to the 'Colour' section. I wanted to make this website my own, so in order to do this, I clicked the 'Media' option on the left side column of the website and clicked 'Upload Media' before selecting my custom logo.

B1 Job Opportunities in the Media Industry

 I am very interested in the film sector of the media industry. When it comes to the Film Industry, experience is valued very highly, even more so than grades. It is a very competitive industry and things such as film internships are very rare and difficult to obtain. One example of a job opportunity in the film industry is a 'Film Editor'. This is a very important role in the post-production process because this job requires the editor to piece together  camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special effects to produce a final film. In order to become a film editor, you will need to have collected a wide range of experiences with editing, mostly on smaller scale projects to build skill and get noticed.  Another example of  a job opportunity in the film industry is a lighting technician. In a film, good lighting is a crucial part of creating the right atmosphere and making sure that the visual quality is crisp and professional. The majority of lightnin...

B1 Mock Interviews

Mock Interviews: A Mock Interview is a practice interview/a simulation of a real interview. Mock Interviews are very important as they act as experience and help you to develop the skills that you require for real interviews. With the more practice you have, the more confidence you will have in real interview settings in the future.   Channel 4:  The client for my mock interview is Channel 4, therefore it was necessary for me to conduct research into this company in order to gain a better understanding of it.

B1 Employment in industry

Research into the Film Industry: When looking at employment opportunities in media, I researched the film industry as this is the sector that I am most interested in.  The film industry or motion picture industry comprises the technological and commercial institutions of film-making, i.e., film production companies, film studios, cinematography, animation, film production, screenwriting, pre-production, post production, film festivals, distribution and actors.  The oldest national film industry is Hollywood and is also perhaps the most well known across the world. However, the  first to present projected moving pictures to a paying audience were the Lumière brothers in  December 1895  in Paris, France. They used a device of their own making, 'the Cinématographe', which was a camera, a projector and a film printer all in one. I n 2020,  China  became the largest box office territory, overtaking North America in gross total. In addition to this...
