Skills review
In the future I hope to work for the BBC studios because I love their content and think it would be an amazing place to be. I haven't yet decided which area of film/tv production I want to specialise in however I know that i'm not particularly drawn to post production and I much prefer being on set and being more physically involved in the production process. I am really interested in scriptwriting, cinematography and possibly directing however I haven't yet discovered which is my strongest skill. I'm very keen on developing my camera skills as I really enjoy taking a script and choosing appropriate shot types to create meaning. I also love writing but again, I haven't developed this enough to feel confident that this is my preferred role.
Personal development plan
It is very likely that when I leave university and start working I will be doing mostly runner jobs for smaller companies before working up to the BBC at some point in the future. I will need to start applying on various runner websites and emailing any contacts I have. I know a number of people who actually work at the BBC studios in Bristol so perhaps I should look into asking about work experience opportunities.
If I decide to move to a different university for my third uni year this may open up new doors in terms of job possibilities. Brighton's website has a list of former students who have gone into specific jobs such as production assistants on programs like Bake Off and Strictly which would be ideal for me at some point

Traditional CV
Since I don't have any real industry experience I only have my normal CV but once I have managed to find my first real production position I will be able to start creating a media based CV.
Showreel
I have decided that something which will hopefully make me stand out to potential employers is a showreel of my work. I think I have now got enough footage from my various projects to create a short trailer featuring some of my best work.
