—Meeting with Aodhan—
Today I had a meeting with Aodhan at 12:00 in the Teachers lounge to review my CV, Cover Email and Showreel.
It went well and he gave me some really helpful feedback that I feel will help me to improve my work before the deadline on Monday the 13th.
—CV—
– Spell check everything – *Experience*
– Change font of Name or of titles
– Shrink Logo and add icon instead
– Do something to break up the word wall in experence.
– Change logos to something sleeker
– Add hyperlink to showreel and adjust the title if there is no portfolio
– Remove gradient from logo if it doesn’t add anything.
– Save as a PDF.
—Cover Email—
– Sounds as if you are only here to learn -> try to sound as if they need you instead of you need them.
– Too generalist -> try adding what you can do eg. colour theory, composition, perspective, etc.
– Need to learn photoshop. -> try adding that you are still learning photoshop.
—Cover Showreel—
– Edit it more to the beat of the music
– Likes the bookends of my contact details
– Maybe animate the title card a bit
– Use the same colours and font as the CV to creat a brand image.
– Try to match up the clips of the models
– Could try to add some concept art
Afterwards, I edited my work based on the feedback I could remember from the day and from the email Aodhan sent.
