Job Application - Fuji Film

Personal Resources Audit

Evaluation
My strengths mainly revolve around photography, I have a very advanced Fuji camera which is my main source of work. It also can record 1080p videos which come out perfectly. I know how to use this camera as well as a Canon or Nikon DSLR this would be helpful on a set as I would sometimes have to work with what I am given and I am confident I would be able to use equipment given to me.

My weaknesses mainly consist of not owning a mac book with the relevant software on for post production. I do not own a tripod which could hinder a filming job a lot. Or a night time photo shoot. I need to develop a few certain skills such as editing and post production of films.

My contacts and opportunities are rather scarse but I would be able to talk to various people that I know. I know two people who run a skateboarding filming company, in which I could propose the idea of some sort of traineeship or work experience. I also know various artists who would like to have photos taken for their personal website. I have been asked to take photos at a wedding before and I also have been offered the opportunity from a friend's dad who is a wedding photographer to shadow him while he takes photos at a wedding.

Evaluation
Over all I feel like I have well rounded qualities and experience but there are certain things that I feel I could improve on, such as the technical side to either film making or editing. I feel like I have the correct skills to participate in a a group activity or project but there are certain technical elements to a project that I need to develop. I know my way around a camera and I could create competent shots with professional outcome, however the post production of a film is slightly vague to me and I feel like editing is not a strong point of mine.
