LO2 Scope the personal media profile for an identified purpose (P2)

My personal media profile will be for the job role of a photogrpaher and will demonstrate a range 
of photogrpahic techniques and abilities to any would be employers/clients. I would also look to 
demonstrate any graphic design work i have done as a part of kmy course as it would show a 
greater skill set making me more useful to an employer.



Why i am doing a digital portfolio

I have choosen to make my portfolio digital as i am doing a portfolio for a photogrpaher and 
it would require to much materials and money to make a physical portfolio and portfolio would 
be very big if it was to use so much  paper to store hundereds of photos making it impractical 
to send and store.

I have choosen to make this as it is an effective and clever way to show case my skills to 
potential employers and clients. 

Anoher reason i have choosen to make this in a digital portfolio is so that it is much more easy 
to transfer and acsses for employers to look at.

 Digital  

To repurpose my raw images i would need to convert them into a jpeg file format as it is 
a hig quality lossy compressed file type and will alow me to upload lots of pictures to my 
site. As a photogrpahy portfolio it is important to include my images as it will gove a 
good indication to potentioal employers/clients of my ability and competency.

I repurposed my video file formats to be an mp4 file format so that it would be a high 
quality compressed file format and wouldnt take up alot of storage on my site. I have 
choosen to include y moving image work do demonstrate i have a working knowledge of 
camera techniques and directing.

 Physical  - ways you could make present the example for a physical portfolio

I could represrnt the my work on physical format by printing my photos on to glossy photo paper 

and sticking it into an a3 sketch book to display my work to an employer or client and i could 

burn any moving image work onto a disc which could be played by an employer.

Unit 20

yes my adverts follow legal guide lines apart from the song on the promotional video that features a song by the band public enemy.

I have avoided any ethical issues in my advert by avoiding using any examples of extreme violence in the sport i.e. blood, knock outs and injury as these aspects could be offensive of inappropriate to for young viewers. I have managed to show the what boxing is like and what it is link therefore not to lead the viewer into a false sense of what the sport is like and what it entails.

I have avoided legal issues like release and consent by having the people I took pictures of and filmed  sign relece and cosent forms so I have permission to use their image. I've added my clients masthead to the form to make it look more professional and builds brand identity.

to improve upon the video that my client asked for I would have to gain permition from public enemy to use their song.  I would also have to gain consent from those who are recognisable in my campaign to be allowed to use their image lawfully

• Obscene publication acts

-The publication of some thing that has a negative effect on your audience by accepted standards of morality

to follow this law I have not included any images or videos if gory injuries or knock outs as my audience may find this distressing or upsetting


Copy Right Designs and Patents act
Be able to use something that someone else has made and using a release and consent form to have their permeation to use their image.

Did avoided this law by using all of my own and original material apart from the music in the video for the gym which features a song by public enemy, this song would need to be changed because if it was broadcast it would break the law




Unit 3

Legal

• Obscene publication acts

-The publication of some thing that has a negative effect on your audience by accepted standards of morality

My magazine is designed for amateur hikers in the centre of Sheffield. aged 18-35 year old.

This applies to my magazine if we instruct a very novice walker to go on a very dangerous hike it could cause them to injure themselves and even cause fatality.

To make sure that our articles are safe we must explain what type of equipment would be best be safe on a particular walk, recce the walks our self to ensure they are safe for novices and the maps are up accurate. the map must be the most up to date version that we publish.     

• Libel law

- Libel is stating something in the written word or print that could be seen as defamatory and damage a reputation.

We couldn't say anything bad about locations and or people who live there to avoid offending them. For example if I was to say that the location was run down and the people who live the are horrible, it could be seen as being defamatory.

I will adhere to this law by gathering some feed back from the location of where I go to ensure they have no reason to be offended. I could to this by having locals look over the work to ensure what I have written isn't offensive and true.

I will always use reliable sources that have .gov, .org or .ac at the end of their web address and must source and reference my work

• Copy Right Designs and Patents act

Be able to use something that someone else has made and using a release and consent form to have their permeation to use their image.

I will have to gain permeation to use a cut out of an ordinance survey map in my magazine. and any outdoor clothing brands I an using and any location permissions I will need 

I will also be creating a lot of my own material meaning i will need intellectual property rights i.e. masthead.

• Laws of contempt

You are not allowed to publish content that relates to a current on going court case and that could effect the outcome.

This could relate to my magazine i.e. The Body on the Moors and speculation into who was to blame and what was the cause

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-e8c6cbab-da44-4a3c-8f9b-c4fccd53dd24

• Ethical issues

Ethically I must tell my readers how to correctly prepare for a hike, not to travel on your own as a novice and what to do in an emergency. I will do this by putting advice in my articles and safety notes that are important.

And must have fair representation of people so all people feel that they can take part no mater what shape, size, gender etc.

Give advice on how to conduct themselves in the country side i.e. don't litter, I would do this by writing relevant rules in my article and i.e. if there's a lot of gates in the article make sure to tell them to always leave a gate as they find them after going through it.

Unit 3

 
This is my unit 3 magazine work which I intend on showcasing on my digital portfolio and by repourpousing the files to be Jpegs i will be able to include them in my online portfolio. 



I have repurposed my material so that they were saved as JPEG files so that they could be easily uploaded to may site and as they are a high qualoty lossy file they will be a good file format for people to look at my work on rather than the .indd / psd file format as this is not acssesable by everyone.

The only copy right free material that i used was the cork background and DofE logo on my dps which i sourced from a copyright free site. All other work is origional and my own.

 Unit 20

I intend to us my unit 20 advertising work to demonstrate my graphic design and campaign planning ability to potential employers or clients.


I have repurpose my images by converting my original imaeges from raw images to Jpegs and flattening my graphics when i exported it  from photoshop to create a JPEG image, i choose to use the JPEG for my website as it is a high quality lossy file and will provide a resolution for viewing the images.

All of these photos were taken by myself and all of the design work was of my own design and  making.



Unit 5
I made a film as part of my unit 5 so i repurposed and uploaded my film to my website in an MP4 file format as it is a high quality lossy file type and dosent take up a lot of space on my site and is much more accessable then a (.prproj) file type as many people will be able to acsses this file type. For this product i must make to clear where i sourced my copy right free music from.

I repurposed my RAW images by exporting them as jpegs after i edited them in lightroom in have choosen to use this file format as it is a high quality lossy file format, which will provide a high resolution image for the audience to look at and will be a compresed file type which will not take up to much room on the site as i will need to upoad 100+ images. 

LO1 Explain the purpose of a personal media profile (P1 / M2)

P1:

Explain the purpose of a personal media profile

what a personal media profile means

A personal media profile allows someone to demonstrate thir qualifications on the internet by
presenting their work and ability to would be employers and they are able to back this up by 
using a showcase portfilio, which will have lots of different types of media products that they 
have produced and created, which will demonstrate their technica and creative ability.

Examples of media profiles

Digital :

http://www.neil-cross.com/     : Photographer

http://katieswinden.com/         : Producer

When they would be used

Al Bello

       The purpose of Al Bellos online portfolio is to showcase his work to make it look acssesable for would be employers to look at, this could be used by an employer to look at his work to get an idea of his ability and the quality of his work. He also has a bio/contact section on his website so people who would like to enquire about hireing him can get in contact, his bio also features some of his qualifications.







Katie Swinden

Katie has showcased her work using a digital portfolio and to show what
work she has done and the productions she has worked on i.e. Luther
and Peaky Blinders. In her website she has included her contact i
nformation and partiularly her linkedin acount as this is a direct way that
emoployers may choose to contact her.

Why a personal portfolio would need to be repurposed

 Purpose

Ther purpose of an educational portfolio is so that it deomstrates to universities or colleges the

completion of academic work and course work which demonstrates you creative
and technical ability and also your theoretical and academic knowledge of a subject.

The purpose of an industry portfolio that a working profetional would be to demonstrate to

employers and clients their previouse work in a certain industry or field, this would also include

contact infomation and booking information if required for a job.

Depending on the intended purpose of the profile you should adjust your content depending on 

who is looking at you work and depends on what skills you are trying to display. i.e. if you were
using a portfolio which you had used for a university application for a job application you would
be required to repurpose your portfilio fo rthe particualr pathway i.e. if you are applying for a
print job you may be required to present your graphic design work in the format in a physical
format which it is designed to be consumed in rather than a digital format.

change of platform 

You may need to change platform depending on the type of job you are trying to apply for i.e. if 
you are applying for a job in the print industry it may be better to display your work as a physical 
portfolio to better represent your work or you may need to change your physical platform into a 
digital platform to make it easier to distribute and share your portfolio. 

digitise 

A personal portfolio may need to be digitised if you were needing to show multiple file types i.e.
audio visual products along with JPEG files. Another reason you may need to digities a physical
portfolio is to make it quick and easy to transfer.

considerations 

If you were to change a educatioal portfolio to a industry portfolio you would need to make your 

portfolio more about the completed products and their and less about how you met the marking 

criteria and make it more about the work you have done for a client.
