Ideas
S.W.O.T Target Grid:
Grid explained-
Strength-
Editing- I am good at editing and I hope to get better as time goes on and as I go to uni I hope to get new experiences and improve constantly and learn new skills and become better at it.
Script and screenplays- I have been writing stories and stories since I could type or write whichever I learned first, I have been creating stories ever since. I love creating something from a single idea or concept. I love fantasy and creating mystical worlds. I am going into other genres like comedy, horror, post-apocalypse, chick-flick est.
Photoshop- I have self-taught myself how to use Photoshop and then learned other, more complex ways of using Photoshop, within my computing year and media course. I hope, as well as editing, to constantly improving on and getting more skills.
Creative Thinking- I am someone who is 5 miles away from 'the box' so think outside it is a way of life for me, I come up with many solutions for a problem so if one doesn't work let's move to the next. I think this also helps me to create an interesting and detailed story arch in my writing. I hope to do an (MA) in creative writing to build on to this to be able to get more opportunities in jobs that are what I want to do.
Team Player- I am someone who has a 'can do' follower but I can take control if I need to. I can both be a follower or a leader, I feel like it is something that I need to work on the leader part of that as I get stress or anxious very easily and if something goes wrong that I didn't see coming I can't keep a clear head.
Punctual- When it comes to being on time I will always make sure I am there on time, I am not perfect on this sometimes I can be late or I could get stuck in traffic that I didn't plan for. I think that this gives me opportunity to get to see or meet someone I wouldn't have met if I got somewhere late or I am more likely to get an opportunity because of being punctual with more than just turning up but with deadlines. This could lead to a job that I could have not gotten because of my punctuality.
Dedicated- When I have a target or when I have a project and deadline I will work 24/7 in some way on that project. If it is research, idea develops, editing or looking back on my work for the evaluation of that project. However, I do think sometimes it can be a weakness as I do not really take a break and I tend to burn out I am working on this by using the Pomerado technique which is helping me learn to take brakes and with time I think I will be able to do this naturally and effectively make it so I can get more work done to a better standard.
Independence- This, even though this is something everyone says they have, is a really big strength, I may have been the youngest of my family but I wouldn't say I have been 'babied' all my life. I know how to do laundry, washing up, tidy, cleaning and how to look after children and pets and much more mundane things. The reason I learnt all of this is because I babysat my younger cousins and I use to watch my mum do the house chores until I knew how to do it. This has also taught me how to learn things faster, by putting it in a way I can understand. This is how I got though high school and college and how I will get though higher education.

Weaknesses-
Production Work- Production work, meaning all of the jobs on the shoot, I get really anxious about a lot of things as there are many ways things can go wrong and I can't be doing all of it and see and operate everything at the same time. I find it hard to put trust and faith in my colleges that they will shoot correctly. I am working on this by throwing myself into normal roles and where I have to trust my colleges. This has been working and I feel it is working, but I need to continue working in the different roles to trust people in the other roles, and knowing what they are doing. I think that way I can see how it works and that leads to me trusting them in that role and trusting myself that it isn't going to go wrong.
Camera Skills- One thing within production I am specifically bad in is camera skills. This isn't because I don't know how to operate the camera. It is because I do not have the confidence in myself to be on a camera. I also do not like operating the camera, as I find it too easy to have miscommunications happen and are the moment where the project is made or break. Having that pressure on me is something that I don't think I could deal with. I am working on this by working more and more with the camera and shooting the same thing in different ways to so myself that even if I film something differently to how I planned it isn't the end of the project or the world.
Confidence in my work- When it comes to being confident in my work I am the worst, I am working on it, I am taking in what people say to improve into consideration and improve my work by that but I take what people say to heart. I always try and please everyone when that is impossible. I am learning everyone has their own taste and there always will be someone who docent like your work.
Time Management- When I am planning I do write out a weekly plan but when it comes to sticking to it I am not very good. I am working on it by making what I plan more realistic, for example, I to write: Week one- Ideas, introduction. Week Two: Research and paperwork, have all Pre-production done, etc. I now am writing specific and daily plans and sticking to planing no more than a week, then assessing where I am and then working out what to complete over the next week.
Over reactor- Tying in with my Time management I am someone who sees too far ahead, I think I see time going faster than it actually is. I am working on it and trying to see what the other person meant and improve on it. I always see the bad part as their overall constructive criticism. I am now making it so I focus on my
Having OCD- I have slight cases of OCD this means when it comes to doing things it can be a strength but the way it works for me was definitely in a negative way. I have my own ways of doing things and if anything disrupts that then I get agitated and district. This is one of the main things I have been working on and now I can get through it every time something doesn't go to plan then instead of self-destructing I try to find a way to get back on it.
Procrastination- Procrastination was left to last as it is probably my biggest weakness. As I hate to admit it, I put things off until it is impossible to do that anymore. I have definitely been working on this as I know this is not a good thing to do and I have been treating other dates as due dates so that even though it seems like I am procrastinating it is actually a date 2-3 weeks early. This is to give me time to fix problems and just make the overall look of my project cleaner.
Opportunities-
To be able to go to University- I get the amazing opportunity to get into uni. I need to get a merit and I would love to get a distinction not just for uni but also for myself, to show myself that I have chosen the right subject.
Lincoln University- Leading off from the previous opportunity I have gotten an offer from the uni I want to attend, I personally think this uni is the best one for what I want out of my degree.
Having time for my projects- Being on a full-time course and having a job may sound like a lot and not having time for my own things but it is quite the opposite, especially because my course is a creative one. My course feeds my creativity and gets me to think of new and creative arc, characters and an overall world scapes. I write a lot and I feel like this helps me think up new and crazy ideas of what I want to do in the future, this is not really just an opportunitiy it is also linking in with a lot of my strengths.
Earning Money/ New Job- My job, even though it is not in the industry of media, is a big opportunity to earn money to help me live at uni and be able to easily focus on my studies as I will not be worrying about other mundane things. It also gives me an insight in retail at first this doesn't seem relevant however, if you look a little deeper it will give me a first hand experience to what retail is like so if I am ever involved with a project that involves that kind of environment I could see what is right and what is not fitting right, to me this seems like a good thing to have as it is possible that some people on the team could have never or it has been a really long time since they worked in retail.
Threats-
Where I live- I live in the middle of nowhere. Plain and simple I know but it's the honest truth, it was hard enough to get a retail job from where I live let alone a media job. If I want to go into this industry I will 100% have to move. Going to Lincoln is a good first step but I really should be aiming after that to go somewhere like London or Manchester as they have a lot of media opportunities. If I can the best idea is to go to another country entirely like America or Japan as LA and Tokyo are the two most popular places for the line of work I want to do.
What job roles I want to go into- I want to go into dubbing editor in animation, specifically Funimation, Netflix Originals, Bluejay Studios, est. I also would lie to go into translating for a book to script in hopes to one day to be able to write my own Film or TV Show. However, these job roles are very popular and the competition will be massive but that doesn't mean I am going to give up on it, it just means I am going to work 10x harder than the rest.
Being far from family (stress holding me back)- I am a very family based person, even thinking of Uni I know for a fact my mum and me will talk, either text, phone call or otherwise, every day. This is sweet and all but if that is what I am going to do when she is an hour away I don't know if I could live in a whole other continent. I know she wouldn't stop me but the thought of being that far away is terrifying to me, honestly, there is a part of me that thinks I could take my loved ones with me, but they have lives, friends, jobs and things to do here and I can't really do that, realistically. This could stop me from taking a job if it stresses me out so much so this, with time, is something I am going to have to get over.
