CV Development #3

This 3rd attempt follows the ideas set by the previous design, with changes focusing on positioning, icons, and text.

This is the first draft of my CV which I showed to Industry Professional Jane Steventon last week, THis was her feedback;

- Put the about me section at the bottom (Industry professionals won’t wantt o read it)

- Put the skills section at the top

- Add in my University films The Shed (2016) and Extra Ordinary (2017) (I didn’t do this sat first becase I’d been previously advised not to, but by someone less experienced in the industry so I will take Jane’s advice on this)

- Take out the bullet points underneith my experience (Its obvious what most of those roles involve)

- Add in that I have experience directing child actors (The Shed)

- Include that I have experience organising a 7 day shoot (Extra Ordinary)

- Include that I have fundraised for a 2k film

- Include that I have live studio experience (Beyond the Mystery 2016)
