Module 6: Work Based Learning

Within this module we learned about the industry and what it is like to work within it and how to maintain a steady workflow, this module links in with our digital skills module and the project that we had worked with. Within this module we learned about the planning side of animation and illustration and how we can manage our workflow, the main part of this module was working on the script and the final pieces. 

We are also working on doing a live brief so that we can gain some experience within doing contracted work, some have creative freedom while others were very specific and showed us that within the creative industry that we must be adaptable and that proposals and treatments are highly important if we wish to get work funded or if we wish to organise and create our own projects. 

From this module I learnt that independent work can be the most difficult as working within competitions and proposing ideas can be quite difficult, however through this practice I have learnt the more you work on the more you can build up your creative CV and thus this will help with finding work.

If I were to do over this module I would focus on organising my work flow accordingly and recording all work down that I have done independently also my proposal and treatment would be more organised and I would try to adjust my work flow so that the most optimum amount of work could be achieved at good quality.
