Interview with employer 
 December 2014
 1 hour
I was given an interview to a job position I had applied for several weeks back, before the interview I had done some research about the company. I had also decided to dress in a smart attire as this was going to be an interview with a manger.  
 I dressed in a smart attire as this was an interview for a job. I made sure that I arrived 15 minutes early to make sure I had time to practice on what I was going to say when asked questions. The previous night before I did mock interview scenarios with my parents and I made sure that I spoke clearly and in a polite manner.

 Creating a final piece for a Unit.
 December 2014
 1 week
 The final task of the unit was to create a film piece which we then had to edit ourselves with the special effects we had learned in the previous weeks.
 In this task I had taken the role of the camera operator and I had to work with the other members of the group in deciding how certain segments of the film will go to together, this then meant a lot of communication was involved along with coming to an agreement of what we will do.

 Casting actors for Film Noir project
 22/01/2015
 2 hours
 During this period my group and I had to hold auditions for actors/actresses who were interested in starring in our film noir project. I was given the task of reading lines with the actors/actresses whilst the others had filmed the audition, afterwards we came to discuss who we preferred and as a group analysed the acting capabilities who those who auditioned.
 During this process everyone in the group, including myself, worked heavily together in coming to an agreement. We had all worked together by analysing the auditions and we negotiated with other on which actors/actresses we wanted to star in our production.

 Film Noir Script Writing
(Wrote a script for a film with another member of the group)
 November 2014
 3 Months Long
  Throughout the three months I was given the task, along with another member of the group to write and complete a script for an upcoming project based around film noir.
 Throughout the project I was constantly communicating with my other team member. We regularly made suggestions of what can be improved and what we both did well and what we agreed on.
