Employment opportunities and job roles in the creative media sectors There are several types of jobs that are available in any industry. Fixed term is a working pattern where working hours are planned out on a calendar for a year, this usually applies for full-time jobs. These workers have a particular contract with the organisation they work for, this ends on the date that they complete their given task. Most big manager or main job roles use this working pattern type. A part-time job is a job where you get a lot less hours then a full-time job. Part-time jobs only really get involved in work for half days they never really get a long shift that expands over 6-8 hours. This means that part-time jobs are much more flexible than full-time this makes them appeal to teens who are looking for jobs whilst attending education. It is also much easier to achieve a place as a part-time worker than a full-time one. This job type applies to people who want to start off in the industry as ...

Digital Graphics Assignment 3 The clear main theme this artist has with his music is an underwater, sea and fish theme I think it matches his style of music really well and therefore should definitely be included in the logo and CD cover. This means I should use the colour blue as its main theme colour of the logo and cover. I think using some under water animals will also go well in either the logo or the cover as he uses this in his videos. Also the band name being "Prawnshocker" I could use his band name in the logo and cover, maybe using prawns (an underwater creature) or the word shocker use this to go into the logo. I will be using Adobe Photoshop as this I think is the most suitable for this type of project. For my first idea I will be using the idea of having several lightning bolts surrounding sea creatures, I think my best bet would be to use prawns for the title, then the logo will match the title perfectly. I will probably go with a blue and orange gr...

Stop Motion Animation 3 After watching my finished animation I felt that first of all the over the top humour went really well with the overall theme of my animation, it matches it perfectly. Although I felt like my unusual models also matched this, I thought that they were a bit poorly done myself with a limited amount of time to plan my models, I quickly made them on the spot also my skill with creating plasticine models is not my strong point. I feel the main strength of my animation is its short charming, humorous story it takes a very serious known story (taken movie) flips it and turns it into an over the top comedy parody of it, it's fast paced and short meaning it's not overkill so it's not boring and just fun and exciting. My editing in the video could been seen as fairly lazy as I only really had to colour grade it and take out any mistakes that I left and also added sound effects, I could of maybe added some visual effects in post but I decided not to. Also t...

Assignment 2: Photography Technique and Review Planning : I will be taking images of the architecture in Teesside as I think there are several interesting buildings and sculptures in Teesside that deserve to be taken a snap of, there is a wide range of aged buildings and styles from modern, old and being run down. Around college area are a series of modern style buildings that I could use for my images, I have found some of these buildings on Google and I will use some of these buildings for my photography work. The first structure that I will be doing a photography piece will be this architecture structure built in Middlehaven next to our college. I feel like this is a great example of the architecture in Teeside, it shows complex creation in its unique design and is simply an art piece. When I take this photo I will try use unique ways of showing it off, by showing its beauty through close up imagery for more detail of what it is, I can use leading lines to try a...
