One of the aspects of my current module doing my portfolio is learning to become a lot more a analytical in how I develop my ideas and give more reason. So far during my research into my portfolio I have just done stuff that for my visually I like and not gave a bit more reason as to why I have chosen this ideas I have gone for so far.
To help me give a bit more justice as to why I have gone with the concepts I have for it is a case of doing a bit more research into current practitioners and learn what current established practitioners have on their websites or blogs for example. By doing this it will allow me the chance to develop my current idea.
One practitioner I have researched so far is Scott Houston but i never really went into fully why I liked his site and why I have followed his kind of website. On his home page he has got a little bit about himself with links to some of his work. This is something on my website that I haven't done. But this is something I may change. My reason for doing this is because as soon as someone looks at my website I want them to be able to look at who I am straight away instead of having to look at other pages on my site to look at. This could be a case of just writing about who I am, writing about my skill set and what equipment i use. He does have a more detailed about page where he writes what work he does and how he has built up his skill set over a period of time. It also has links to social media sites of his.
He then has a page with a show reel of some his best work which is something I have done. Show reel is something that will change over time(hopefully) the more projects I can get involved the more i can add. While he has done a show reel he has also shown a variety of different work of his on a separate page. Which is something I have done but personally I feel i could add more to the page but for now I am happy with what I have added. He has also added a list of his clients which as a freelancer makes sense because he is showing how he has built up his impressive portfolio for me right now I can't really add a client list because a lot of the work I have done is for my university so it is more of a case showing my work in the video sections and highlighting my current skills.
On my site I have got like a blog section which I will be using to write more about current projects I am involved in. I think it is important to show potential employees or clients that you are always doing something instead of waiting for something to just come along. This is also a good way of showing your work behind the camera like how you prepare etc.
and finally one more thing I have included is how to contact me via email for any enquiries
