Me and Jane had a one-to-one tutorial and we discussed various options on how to progress with what I currently have, because I have a been indecisive in terms of what I want to do, Jane was very helpful in giving me ideas on what I can do as I had either the option of choosing concept artist a job or a Character Animator. I am able to do both if I get the time to, which I am quite sure I will, which is great as I had prepared a questionnaire for both job roles, however I was advised to create one for each role, which was easy after adjusting some of the questions by making them a lot easier to answer, so now I can go out and talk to people in the industry.
I was also applying for jobs during the period and I had come across the creative pioneers internship program which was in association with Metro Newspapers, and I was intrigued by it as an opportunity. I talked about this opportunity in a previous post in this blog. It was definitely something different which was a learning curve. Jane went through the video with me and she told me what could have been better and what was good, which was really helpful. Jane gave me a really good idea where I could use a green screen and whilst I am talking I could have my show reel playing in the back ground, as she was telling me this, I had many ideas running through my head about this,such as sitting down on a couch and having the show reel play behind me, as well as maybe sitting on a stool (video below as reference) or maybe even constructing it as an interview, I even thought of making it like it was a session with a therapist but I don't want to come off as a crazy individual to the companies It's an amazing way to stand out from the crowd, instead of just showing a regular show reel of your work in an sequential order. However as great as an Idea this is, my biggest concern is will this distract the employers from my talent? will me being in the video talking annoy them? it's something I will definitely take into consideration and gather opinions.

We also discussed possible opportunities in further education which is going into an Ma program, or possibly going to Vancouver Film School but it would be quite a stretch as it is in Canada and there would have to be a lot of money put into this. I did learn that even by attaining a masters it doesn't jump you a higher position and in knowing that It gives me more knowledge so I can make the right moves!
This session has been great I've learnt so much and I've had so much feedback! I can't wait to do more with this and see my options!
