This experience helped him out massively to get into the film schoolo, where he learned the skills he still uses to this day. He likes to do the comedy just for his own personal life. Then he said ,most of his jobs come in the form of either documentary, mainstream and documentaries.

Activity 2:
What a average day of work will look like is you going into work and working to try and help the people who read your CV/ linked in profile so you can help your friends and family with their day to day life. The sort of thing I'd do if I was at work is probably work really hard editing stuff using editing softwares such as premier pro and photoshop. I'd like to work really closely with people who chose to go down the media path if that is what their chosen career path is because then I feel like we can really bond because it'll be something we have in common. The equipment and resources I'll be using is a camera and using a green screen so when I record for a close personal mate/ TV show I can show off my skills, the other equipment I can also use is a laptop so I can then edit some photographs/ videos that I took and can make them better. The amount of hours I'll be doing could vary so for example one day I can be working for 5 hours (5-10) and the next day I can be working a 12 hour shift so from 7 in the morning up until 7 in the evening.

Work Experience Day 3:
The Study Of Film:
For my third day of work experience I'm watching something to do on the business of films, They start by looking at the challenges that not only face them but face the film industry too, they then go on to study and protect their film idea and then you attract finance to it, in this video they talk about how films are carefully distributed, they also look at how risky this can be, if you want your career to be going down the film path then this course is the right one for you as you will learn about everything on this course.
The reason why some films might flop or be labelled as 'flop' because some films failed to make money in the box office as they cost to produce the film then release the film. Another reason why people may call films as flops is because they seriously underperform under everyone's expectation of it's perhaps a flop because of it's movie franchise.
The reason why intellectual property & copyright are important while filming is because for many businesses the intellectual property protects more the idea or a original concept, it then protects the genuine business assets that look to be integral to the core services of the and then overall the long term business and then overall the long term viability . The reason why copyright is important in films is because if someone uses that film without the persons permission then that organisation can suffer massively. The reason why films are publicy funded is because of it being financed through a whole combination of investors, tax credits, grants and other sources.
The funding has to be secured by the film producers and their sale agents, they order to pay for everything at all costs that will accure during the making at that particular film.
Virtual task:
In this virtual task, I decided to do the Fraser Halliday work experience and this is based around Architecture. The reason why Fraser Halliday made this is because they made it so that students who have a interest in architecture as well as design would like to see and explore what the course and the industry is about. The design work experience is made up of two tasks. The first task is a design task. To get you familiar with the sketchup you're going to have to design a house for a celebrity of your choice and that task should take you up to 30 hours. The second task is technical work experience. This work experience is set to design and to construct a new extension using a revit and this task should take you up to 30 hours as well.
