Today we began our second Work Based Learning module. Last year, in our first WBL module, we were taught some useful skills for working professionally. This year we are to put those skills to use. We will be working in groups to create a promotional show reel for our course, during which we will be expected to demonstrate a professional attitude towards the project, right down to attending all lectures on time, as you would be expected to in a job role. If our work is deemed worthy the College will take our work and use it for real marketing purposes.
After being introduced to the brief for the module, we were asked to form groups of 4 people with whom we will be working for the duration. This was relatively easy and i feel the group i am in will work very well together, a fact demonstrated by our immediate jump into some preliminary research.
We started by looking at some well known game trailers to see how they were presented, focussing on the different shots, the content and the music, the reason behind this was that we were thinking of going for a video game style trailer for our show reel. After this we moved on to looking at some show reels, concluding that the fundamentals of a show reel are high quality content, good flow, and a well matched soundtrack. Whether we can adapt this to a video game trailer style remains to be seen, i'm a tad skeptical as i feel this may stray to far from the show reel formula, but at the same time i would love it if we could as we all have some great ideas.
