CLIENT PROJECT INTERESTS

Today, Deborah asked us to think about some possible ideas for a 3rd year project and we were given a list of things to think about that I guess could all be used as potential projects. After reflecting on each one, I have some ideas! Company that interests me Well i suppose you could call it a company, but I mentioned in the essay possibly working for my uncle and producing a travel video for his guest house in my 3rd year. He currently hosts a website but it has no video on it, and after carrying out research I found that people who shop for holidays on the internet are much more likely to book if they have a video to watch! Aside from this, I could work with the owner of Long Eaton Gym in producing a promotional video for him that advertises his services and facilities.

Competitions that interest me I am travelling to birmingham on May 22nd to watch the UK Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation finals at the Bodypower expo (http://www.bodypowerexpo.co.uk/) There are alot of famous bodybuilders that regular these competitions along with some of the worlds strongest man finalists who are attending for a meet and greet session. This could be a great opportunity to practice some interviews, a possible problem with this idea though would be gaining rights to film at the NEC, and i imagine this would be troublesome!



Community Project
I played for the Nottingham Caesars youth american football team for 3 years, so it would be great to give something back to the club and possibly create match report videos on each of their games. American Football is still a niche sport in Britain, so creating quality videos and raising awareness about such a hard-working and successful team can only be seen as a positive thing. This also has a flip-side however, being such a niche sport means there are only around 10 teams in the whole country, so alot of travelling to locations will be required. I remember my first game with the youth squad was in Teesside, so booking equipment for the right window of time is essential if i am to take part in this project!
