OUGD603: Extended Practice - Thoughts

Having had a few weeks to think about the briefs I have written and also time to talk to other people and visiting professionals I think I am ready to change some of my original briefs.

I have recently come to the conclusion that I want to work within TV and Film. At Creative Skillset 2 professionals from Nexus Productions came in to ask some questions, they mentioned that they were a TV and Film company so I approached them about possibly visiting their studio, they were very helpful and gave me their e-mail addresses. Having looked at their website I am very keen to contact them and talk about the possibility of a placement. Looking at the work that Nexus produce I want my portfolio to showcase some work that will fit in with the area of industry that I wish to go into. YCN have released their briefs for 2014/15 and I have chosen to produce the two briefs with a TV background (Itv2 and Syfy) The prospect of working within the TV and Film industry excites me massively and I want to ensure that I am properly prepared and have a portfolio that represents my interests as a creative.

The first brief that I intended to produce (LCA Wayfinding) has changed massively since my presentation. After speaking with the marketing team at LCA I am not in contact with Peter and Paul who currently produce all of the design for the college. I hope to work with them on the wayfinding brief and extend it for myself by focusing on student ambassador work. I have been asked to produce an ambassador handbook to assist students on giving tours and routes to take around the college. I am very much looking forward to working on this brief as it is something I have wanted to do for a while.
