This job would be excellent for me to get a grounding in the actual industry. Since most media

jobs require some form of experience, this would be a great place to start. Although my 3D skills are pretty limited, I wouldnt mind giving this a shot.

Although I like animation, broadcoasting would be pretty interesting to try out. This is one of

few jobs that didnt require year of experience. Even in the description they will offer to train people which is a plus in my case.

This job didnt have a lot of information but being paid to do storyboards is sounds appealing.

Judging off the description, they are mostly looking for people to bring to life their story.

Demo and Job Reviews

After going through different demo reels, there are a couple of attributes that they all differ from. One of which is timing and arrangement. I noticed that many of the demo reels (especially the 3D ones) tend to be bit longer. Although it does makes sense to show detail,is it necessary after 3 minutes? Also it seems that transitions and title cards are useful in a sense. Some showed what type of work is shown just by the title cards, however I dont think this should be used all the time. It distracts the viewer a little. Music is also an issue. On some demo reels I felt as if the creator of the reel was just using music from their own personal collection. Sometimes the music became a little distracting, As a final note, I noticed that many of the creators of different reels had the tendency to post the info at the beginning of the reel. Which makes me think of how much information is needed for a demo reel? Is address required in demo reels or just the e-mail or even just the number?

Jobs:

After looking at everyone else's job links it makes me start to think about what exactly type of media job do I want. Some jobs are specific for what kind of person they want, whereas other are more broad. This confuses. It makes me feel a little overwhelm in trying to figure what I want to look for exactly. Though, overall the jobs that were linked, makes me want to aim high but be realistic about the job search. Im not entirely sure what i am qualified.
