When I first began to research into available job roles in the media industry, I conducted a general internet search for media jobs in the UK and this primarily produced results of senior positions based in London and the surrounding areas.

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...
