Professional Practices

 This week we have been celebrating Easter and spending time together with the family. For me, it's a good opportunity to reset for the couple of days mentally and physically. Also, I booked a flight to see my relatives in Poland in a couple of weeks as I haven't seen them since 2019 mainly due to the pandemic and the hassle of flying during the pandemic.

 Today, I got a response from one of the jobs I have applied for called AMRA which is a luxury skincare company.  Later on, she called to carry out a phone interview where she asked me questions regarding my current experience and plans for the future. She concluded the interview by saying that she will give me an update next week. Link for the website https://amraskincare.com/

I knew that it was important to find the right music to fit the showreel. So I decided to look for a music with high amount of beats per minute in order to sync that up. As well another requirement when looking for track that I wanted to include the entirety of the song so I was looking for something that is around one minute or two. Also, I came up with an idea to play around with that sound as in the first section of #weraceasone I stopped the music and played the beeps before the lights go out in Formula 1.

Today, I came up with an idea to put all of the content I have created so far into the InDesign Document in order to showcase the work in a better way.  So, to make sure that the branding is all consistent it follows the same colour scheme as rest of the documents.  

 Today, I was gathering ideas for the showreel mainly by watching other showreels and also gathering all of the content for it.  Some of the inspiration include https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbuqEstu6Hc&ab_channel=CannyCreative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejGismhDfsQ&ab_channel=GeorgePercy The issue in my case was that majority of the work is static so in order to combat that I have decided to divide into the layers so the work will reveal together with the rhythm of the music. 

 I have started to look more frequently for a job. As well as I have started to look into the Freelancing websites like Fiverr and Freelancer.com to set-up my own business at the side. Because it would be good for me to have it run in the background in case a client would be interested. I would probably setup the account in the next week or so.
