Production Log

With Terri we began the lesson by discussing what creative media is and what things fall under it. We then proceeded to make a mind map on the board. We did this to get our minds thinking and to also understand what things we can do currently in order to reach our full potential of being a creative media student. After we had a 5 minute research session in which we found out what jobs best suit Creative Media Students, like myself. I googled 'creative media jobs' and came across the page http://creativeskillset.org/job_roles. This page was exceptionally useful as it had nearly a thousand jobs all linked to creative media on it. After researching was over ideas were then collected and put into a mind map on the board. I find mind maps easy to follow therefore using one of them instead of a list did benefit me.
Overall, this was really helpful as it lead me to think of a variety of careers, which I was not aware of, which I could possibly have with my college course.
Working as a group we then decided what skills and attributes would best collaborate with a selection of 8 jobs. There were jobs from photographer to screenwriter. This task was also very useful due to the fact that it helped me visualize what individual skill would best work which each job. Consequently, prompting me on what job I feel I could possibly succeed with in the future.

I then proceeded to make a 6 word page document discussing 2 out of the 8 jobs, the pros, cons, how I could get into the industry, salaries, hours, travel, etc.

In summary I found today with Terri very useful due to the fact that I like her teaching style and I understood everything that she spoke about. I also learnt plenty of new things about creative media which will prove useful in the future.
