I must admit, I find it challenging to self-assess in a textual form for a public audience. A self-assessment blog post is my final assignment for this course, however \u2014 so here I go!<\/p>\n
When I began English 301, I was also starting a communications consultancy with a focus on copywriting and voice-over performance. Over the summer, I have come to a place of strongly desiring to make social video my main source of income instead. This is less of a shift than it sounds like, as my communications consultancy was focussed on services for video production companies. Also, thankfully, I already have a fair bit of videography experience under my belt, and I\u2019m currently subcontracting under a company that wants to see me continue in that direction. I intend to further my skill set in video by self-training through my work with The Film Factory and through the final, self-directed artistic project that will conclude my Bachelor of Fine Arts at UBC Okanagan. Currently, I am a capable videographer, but I\u2019m always learning on the go. Because of this, I feel I can only make videos for clients who are aware of the learning curve I am on and who are supporting my journey. Maybe this is simply me being particular, but I believe in giving myself the time and space to produce quality work; and while I can currently do this in video, I can only do it if I have that time and space.<\/p>\n
It is because I intend to make major strides in my video production skills this fall that I am not yet creating my professional web presence. I was a dedicated student throughout English 301, and I took many assignments (for example, the formal report) beyond the realm of a learning\u00a0exercise; but I feel that if I developed a public web page around what I have to offer at this moment, it wouldn\u2019t accurately represent the direction in which I want to move. And I don\u2019t want to put myself out there as less than professional.<\/p>\n
I do, however, have a great many other employable skills. Some of these are:<\/p>\n
– text-based content creation (creative writing)
\n– advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn
\n– writing reports
\n– researching, including conducting interviews
\n– social media management
\n– small business management
\n– bookkeeping
\n– public speaking
\n– broadcast presentation\/on-camera performance
\n– illustration<\/p>\n
I\u2019m excited to put these skills to work as a creative content creator for clients in whose visions I believe. In addition, I am confident that the skills I developed in English 301 will contribute to the journey of my career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
