Week 11

In this past week I finished up my resume. I am quite satisfied with how it turned out. I had a few iterations of it but they were very basic and minimal and I decided to add a lot of information and try to make it look nice. I will add a lot of the elements that I added to my resume to my LinkedIn page for the upcoming deadline of the linked in page.

Regarding my paper, I took all the research that I had done and kept adding to my ongoing outline. Right now it’s not an outline anymore, it is just a bunch of information in bullet points. I think it will be easy for me to flush out all the ideas into paragraphs. After my research regarding how to approach brands, I wasn't able to find much information so I discussed last week I reached out to Marius With, a marketing person as he has experience in reaching out to brans, and cold emailing brands. I think that this could be an approach that filmmakers could take to approach smaller brands that need content produced.

I secured an interview with him on Wednesday ad I am planning on asking him questions regarding reaching out to brands, and how filmmakers can follow a similar process. This is not a typical way of doing things, but when doing my research I could not find anything regarding this topic and I think filmmakers can start approaching smaller brands to get work and pitch their ideas. In the meantime I am transcribing the answers from the notes that I had in my meeting with Oz. I am also creating a document with all the answers that Gordon gave me. Even though it wasn’t a live interview, his answers were insightful.
