Josh Walker (Unit 13)

Media skills I have :

Research, designing logos, listening to and adapting ideas whilst watching and learning to enhance my skills, identifying a specific target audience and can justify what appeals to them and the use of Adobe applications (Premier Pro, Photoshop & After Effects)

Due to this skillset, a project based around research, and design type work.

Some products I could create are:

A magazine, promotional campaign, digital advert and good quality videos which I’m very proud of, one example being my kenya vlog on my Youtube channel. I have also been part of a project on live tv which is called Hot Ones which went really well and proud of. 

I think thast me working in a group is useful however I think that Being in a team or at least teams that I’ve been in feels everything is last minute like how it was for Hot Ones and my project last year that was called Loner, but with loner there was other problems like actors, cameras just to list a few.

By myself I am certain that I can Finish tasks at a given time due to the fact that I’m working alone so there’s no middle man and if there was some problems it would be entirely my fault which can help me as I know what to fix and how I can improve on it.

When it comes to my motivation there’s many ways that I can bring myself to get things done. One simple example is that I hate things that are not done or complete because it effects my OCD for getting stuff finished even if it takes me even longer. 

When doing these projects and general work I noticed that I find my self really engaged in the research of that topic and or task like for example my FMP, I really enjoy trying to find out if my ideas can work on camera and seeing stuff that is similar to what I imagine in my mind or what I’ve put on paper, and with that I can even be inspired by previous work like Buster Keaton’s films and how his comedy is shown on screen.

With the FMP I want to show the best of what i can do whilst also doing stuff I’ve never done before to show that I can learn and do it with some sort of a good standard. I also want to challenge myself with directing and making the FMP.  I will try and complete this by myself however I think I will need guidance to help me the direction and or how to pace the Project. Hopefully this will be achieved with the skills that I have improved and or gained during my time here.
