P3: Personal resources audit

Strength and weaknesses analysis:

The strengths to my personal resources is that i have a range of personal resources available to me however, my weaknesses is that i don't use these opportunities i.e there are a range of different competitions that i could enter my films into however, apart from my documentary in which my team mate entered into the BFI, i should use these as a chance to get more recognition.

Also, with all these opportunities to hire and be loaned some filing equipment, i could take this as an opportunity to film some more footage and make another film/ documentary along with all these contacts i have as friends and family, i could use these contacts to shoot another film.

All the things i still need:

The things i still require to get into the industry a few years down the line include:


  • A better portfolio - This i will get from doing the Art Foundation course at Long Road as a third year.
  • Funding - This i can get from creating a Kickstarter or Indiegogo page to get people to invest into getting a better range of experience i.e making new art or films that will help me to progress into the field.
  • Studio Space - This i will require to create new art work and to allow me to get my work noticed later down the line. 
  • Experience - I will get this from having all of the above : Funding and studio space. I will be able to get a better range of experience from doing the Art Foundation at Long Road to let me experiment with a different variety of Art processes and Art work.
