Unit 23: Creating a media profile

Justify the choice of content and repurposed formats. In this report I will be justifying my choice of content and repurposed formats for my personal media profile. I will also be discussing the benefits and limitations of them. First of all I chose my mood board for my personal media profile because it showcases my ability to present and organise my ideas and influences for photography. My mood board is a physical product and so in order to add it to my personal media profile, I first had to take a photograph of my mood board. I then uploaded this picture of my mood board to my personal media profile. I have repurposed this by  changing the purpose from showcasing my ideas and influences for my photography project to now being a way to show off my skills to a prospective employer. A benefit of this repurposed format is that the mood board is now easily accessible by the employer rather than having to bring in a physical copy which could be damage...

Discuss legal and ethical requirements for the repurposed content   Within this report I will be talking about the legal and ethical requirements for my repurposed content. I am also going to be talking about the regulation issues and how these effect my repurposed content for my personal media profile that being an online blog. One legal issue I may face when creating my personal media profile lies within my mood board. I may face some copyright issues since I compiled my images from Pinterest. This would fall under the law of Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. This Act gives the right to copy, lend or sell copies of the work to the creator. These rights can be sold or transferred to allow for other people to use their work. In relation to my repurposed content, this law means that I cannot claim the images in my mood board as my own to make profit from. However, I can still use it on my personal media profile to showcase my skills.  One ethical issue I may face when cr...

Identify and repurpose content. My personal media profile will be an online blog. I will create this blog on the website Blogger. One piece of content that I will use on my blog is My mood board from my AS level photography project. The original purpose of my mood board was to compile images that link to and inspired my project. However when repurposed for my personal media profile, it will showcase my presentational skills and my ability to generate ideas. One reason that repurposing my mood board and putting it on the blog would be good is that there will be other thing on it and it will all be in one place. Another reason is that since the mood board is physical, it has the potential to get damaged so by taking a photo and uploading it to my blog, it removes that risk.

Plan the creation of the personal media profile target audience The target audience of my personal media profile is typically future employers and interviewers. This is to enable them to see my achievements and experience to decide whether they want to offer me the position or not. mind map of content This mind map shows the content that I will include in my personal media profile. wireframe These two wireframes show the basic layout of my personal media profile.

Discuss the uses and benefits of having a personal media profile In this report i will be talking about the many advantages of having a personal media profile along with the possible disadvantages of having one. I will also be discussing the formats, these being Digital and Physical. One method is Websites. They are used to display works that you have done on a digital platform. This kind of portfolio can be used by anyone who has access to the internet They also allow you to present videos written content and photos. These can be linked to the position that you are applying for. One of the main examples is LinkedIn which allows possible employers to gain easy access to your information such as previous experience, your skill set and any other important information relating to your application. However a disadvantage of this is that is an employer for whatever reason has no access to the internet they will not be able to view your personal profile and also if you don’t have many design...
