TASKS

Task 1,

What do I have to offer? What skills do I have? What are my creative aims?
I have a passion for lens based work, I like working with cameras and recently I really want to experiment with video cameras, producing films? short films? working in advertising? Anyway, as for the photography, I have always loved films, my dream of becoming an actress is still here, but at the moment I think I am quite happy focusing on design. However, I do still want to be a part of films...in some way? I like the idea of designing film posters, I think some are really good, and they include type/image, so in my eyes they are graphic design. I don't want to narrow my choices down too much, I really don't have much of a life plan actually, at the moment, I would like to do fruit picking in Austrailia (ha), but this idea will probably fade within a few months. Anyway, what I am confused about is how I get into these industries, working with films, but designing the posters? Is it freelance work?
I also love perfume ads, well, not all of them, some are rubbish, I want to create an amazing perfume ad, I think they should be beautifully produced, with amazing photography involved. They should be small films, there is so much you can do with them, I think it would be fun to work with a project like that.
Industry/clients/placements?

I found ths website, it has a link of some of the design companies that deal with Film posters? 
http://www.impawards.com/designers/index.html 

I've just realised, they might all be American? 
I can search individual film posters, and then the design company in which they were designed.

Based in London! (but aren't recruiting), but this website (impawards) is good, more research needed 

This organisation seemed pretty good, but it's located in Hollywood...

This sounds promising? The Creative Partnership.

Based in London, Manchester and Blackburn.

Based in New York and London

Based in Stafford, but I'm not that keen on this company, 


















INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

Situated in Hollywood, shame, they produced some of the top theatrical prints. However, I don't think all these companies are that different, they seem to produce the same quality of work. I reckon reputation and reccomendation is what gets these companies more project offers, this particular site has had a lot of film poster design projects, once they produce one good film poster, then others will go to them.

Based in Los Angeles, although, it started off as a print studio in London! 
What they are interested in as clients;
