Video show reel

Here is my completed video show reel showcasing some of the work that I have produced during my studies. It features multiple music videos that I have created since 2017 as well as one side-scroller game I made in first year to show that I have skills in multiple areas. The show reel is edited to an instrumental version of Perfect Places by Lorde. I think this song works quite well as it sounds very uplifting, modern, and has simple chords which are easy to edit to. 

I tried to make sure I had some visual matches such as where one girl in one of my videos flips her hair, it cuts to another shot of another girl flipping her hair in a different scene, just to flow nicely for the audience. Additionally, at one moment the music stops entirely for a second, before the beat drops, and at this moment I made sure there was no image on screen at all. This creates interest and excitement in my piece as the audience anticipates the next moment in the video.

Here is the final result: https://vimeo.com/549686258

CV, cover letter, gratitude letter

I have found a particular vacancy with Rockstar games that has me really excited about the opportunity to work there, so I have decided to tailor my CV, cover letter and gratitude letter to fit this particular job description, and I will then actually submit an application.  The vacancy is for a Junior Production Designer who would be responsible for overseeing the creation of digital assets and content using Adobe Creative Cloud. I would be perfect for this job so I am doing my best to write an appropriate cover letter as well as a CV that surpasses the ATS. The ATS or Applicant Tracking System is a system that filters out CVs or resumes from other applicants. That is why I am tailoring my CV specifically for this job, by trying to include key words that are mentioned within the job description, such as "thrive under pressure" or "Proficient with Adobe Creative Suite".  As for my cover letter, I have tried to make it stand out a bit by talking about my personal exp

The Handmaid's Tale development

Image
I have started creating my image for The Handmaid's Tale brief so I will do a walkthrough of my process here. I wanted to keep within the same style as the ENO promotional posters we were given as examples. These posters keep a very simple and minimal design, so I decided to make a very simple and clean vector image as my piece of art that I can apply to all the different necessary formats. Here I took a screenshot from one of the episodes of The Handmaid's Tale TV show and imported it into Adobe Illustrator. I traced around the outline of the woman using the pen tool. I then had the simple outline of the woman and decided to use the Live paint bucket tool to fill in the woman, using the eye-dropper tool to pick out the exact colours from the reference image. I liked how this looked but felt I could do a bit more detail, so I traced around some of the more complicated parts of the original image. This included the creases of the dress as well as the shadows and contours of her
