  A showreel is a short video showcasing a person's previous work and experience. When creating a showreel, you should remember to -  Keep it short - in this case less is more, include your best work to present yourself in the highest standard Think about the audience - Consider will the content appeal to those who will be viewing it Ask for feedback - feedback is always a helpful way of finding out what people like about your work, as well as the parts you could improve on, this way you can improve or make changes before sending it to perhaps an employer Analysing existing showreel's  I believe this is a great example of a student's showreel, for many different reasons. Firstly, the video begins showing the name of the production team, instantly telling the audience who they are, soon followed by the instrumental music playing in the background. Sound is an important aspect in a showreel since I believe it sets the tone of the video, and tells us something abo...

 Research into existing business cards  Upon looking into already existing business cards I have found a common theme runs throughout, this making them successful and professional looking. Upon looking into these products, most business cards contain just their logo on one side, and on the other, the business' information, contact details, etc. Something which stands out on this specific card is the chosen colour used, instantly making the it somewhat more recognisable than others due to the vibrancy.  When creating a business card, I think it is important to set a limit on the information included, since you wouldn't want to bombard your audience / client with too much information. By keeping it simple, like this card for example, it remains effective since there isn't too much information, but there is enough to be able to conclude a first impression on the brand / business due to how they have presented themselves. When creating my own business card, this is what I am ...

Looking Into Existing Logo's - Personally I think logo's where the main focus is an image or an icon, sometimes presented with little text perhaps underneath are the most effective in not just the media industry, but in any. The image in a logo is most important, and also effective because it remains memorable, and is the reason people recognise brands, for instance, this logo in particular, because the imagery is simple yet memorable, and while it is presented with little text, we know who they are and what we can infer from them. In my opinion, something all of these recognisable logo's have in common is how simple they all are - just a singular image, with only a small amount, if any, of text stating the rands name. The logo's that do include text, only include a small amount, therefore keeping it simple yet still remaining very memorable, and in this case, known all around the world. Each of these logo's are famous in their brand simply because they don't bo...
