Professional Studies - Evaluation

Throughout my studies this year in regards to Professional Studies, I feel I have been lazy due to doing it in a previous year on Production Design. I do however feel I have contributed in lessons and had my findings and report ready on time.  During our scheduled sessions I felt like it covered the very basics which were nice to see and be able to identify before choosing a topic for our report. As we have progressed through the Scheme of Work I have felt a greater curiosity as to what is available in the world of Film and T.V. as an industry. I dabbled in looking at cinematography, and continue to see that role as something I have potential to achieve, but during other modules on the course I have enjoyed taking roles such as Production Manager, Producer and Director.

My topic of discussion ended up being very different to what was taught in lessons; I felt that this would expand my knowledge even further afield. I chose the Adult Film Industry mainly because it seems taboo in comparison to what we have been taught in lessons. I looked into its popularity as a whole, and how it influences their viewers and how the viewer’s influence the industry. I enjoyed looking into what laws and legislation's are in place that affects the industry both positively and negatively. The final thing I took interest in was how it is produced, from original VHS to online pornography.

This module has helped me a great deal in understanding the pathways I have available to start a career in the industry, I have gained a clear view of the type of job roles I want to work within which has also been influenced by strengths and weakness’ in other modules so far; job roles such as Director and Producer seem to be the type of role I fit into in terms of both professionally and personality wise.


Next year however, i aim to follow a path for my future career and look into teaching in a professional enviromment, and hopefully get a voluntary placement to help within an art department or along those lines.
