freelance draw up contract -Levia


Give a brief explanation of working freelance ?

A freelancer is basically someone who is there own boss and can work at will and whenever they want ,they don't really have to answer to anyone or go into an office because they can work at home and maybe if they have enough money they can employee there own staff or assistant,
Freelancers may work part-time or full-time. Because they are not considered employers, freelancers are allowed to work for other employers and are usually permitted to perform tasks in their own way, so long as the work gets done to the client's specifications 


List the main advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

Freelancing is what the first four letters of the work actually means "Free" now this means that you are free to work however you choose basically being your own boss if you wasn't before now you are in freelancing .
Working from home or from a remote workplace as a freelancer allows you to dictate your own hours and work at times most convenient to you. Freelancers with young children, for instance, can work after the children are sleeping.
As a freelance worker, you can control your work load. While client demands can, at times, dictate your schedule, you can turn away work during busy times or accept more work during lean times.

Disadvantages

You don’t get sick pay
Some clients will be late payers, so you’ll have to chase them for money.
If you want to keep your skills up to date, you’ll have to pay for your own training from now on
Another disadvantage to freelancing would be it gets very busy as your basically your own boss and you tell yourself what to do, but on top of that this is where things get really stressful especially if your terrible at maths, yes that means you have to do your own accounting, while as if you’re in a company you wouldn't have to worry about accounting what so ever.

Write a description of your particular media production skills and decide which ones your going to freelance, what areas would you develop? do you think freelance will suit you ?

Make a presentation to illustrate your conclusion

List the main items you would expect to find in a contract for a particular job which fits your individual skills and which you would be happy


I would expect in the contract because its a music producers contract , It would be different to any normal contract draw up , I would expect to see payment issues and agreements , terms and conditions legal issues E.G copy rights  ,so that means no one has the right to copy a song I've made or and instrumental I've made no one can vocal it and use it as an original track and say its there own.

Design an appropriate invoice and explain when you would use it

DVD sue For & Against


Is the DVD dead ?


YES For

Some people would say DVD is dead because people do not use DVD anymore ,as people now have different ways of watching films and TV programs in this day of age ,Now a days we have things like Live streaming ,Netfilx ,love film,YouTube,now TV,Blink box,+illegal sites ,where people can each just about anything they set there heart of watching because in most areas this free and you don't have to pay for it at all ,same as other people would simply just be old school and just go to the cinema to watch a new film just to have that whole cinema feeling and atmosphere.

Most films these days that people watch are More likely to get released online than through DVD/Blu -Ray is the new DVD because it's free and they wouldn't want to watch it on DVD and keep the actual physical copy when they can just watch it online and get rid if it.

Online more convenient

Previous shops that use to hold DVDs now a days are not around any more ,shops like Blockbuster,prime time,HMV are all closed/closing because the sales of DVD is not living up to the hype of what it once was maybe 10 years ago now that everything can be accesed so easily.

Another opinion instead of DVD is I tunes which is Cheaper to rent a movie on rather than go out of your way to go into a shop and buy a DVD/film that you'd most likely only watch once or twice and may not want to watch it again after that's.

People also say that DVDs are dead because the disk it's self may scratch from time to time because it's maybe that old ,so it may not even work as good as online or rented films you can get on iTunes because the physical copy may not exactly work.

DVDs are now being transported to things like Tablets ,smart phones,computers have killed the DVD player so people can take it on the go rather than stay at home and watch there favourite film ,they can now take it on the go where every they may be.


NO against

Some people are very classic and like the whole DVD thing ,some people say that DVD are more reliable,as in they have better (Quality) band with issues/not london ECT ,subscriptions can be Expensive + not .V cost effective.

People still buy DVDs today because they don't like the whole idea of watching it illegally ,some pow pls also say that DVDs are better than online filming because the sounding and other things like the video quality are not good enough even though it is free they would rather pay for quality than be cheap and not get any quality 

DVDs dead ? No- people still buy them

Film makers still do make money out of selling DVDs as there film has been in the cinema for a month and then over a million copy's go around the world into different shops and people still go about and buy them e.g for things like Christmas presents ,birthday presents or just simply because they want to watch it on DVD as it is much cheaper than going to the actual cinema to watch the film  producers still make money from DVD sales.

Again people say DVD benefits who you are, as you might think that they are doing themselves a favour by buying a film that maybe someone else in there family would want to watch ,or a just the fact that they don't have to go on any websites and worry about the lack of quality when you have the real hard copy at home with you.

Some customers actually Enjoy the ritual of DVDs,so that means thy enjoy the whole sitting at home turning off the lights putting the movie in and getting popcorn I'm the comfort of there own home ,because everything thing is just there for you ,you can pause the DVD anytime you want let's say if you fall asleep on the sofa or of you just simply need to go to the toilet it's on pause button so you never actually miss anything of the movie your in control of everything In that moment this makes the whole DVD experiences more convenient

Evaluation for final project photography



I think that my pictures that I created for my final piece were good at the end of the day, I made sure that the planning towards the whole project was very accurate ,at first my final project was going to be about food and different types of food and what you can create out of them ,e.g. peoples faces ,cars and other objects. I then decided to change my idea to pictures of people looking gloomy and in winter jacket and then gave it an effect to make it look different.

I fell that I could have maybe improved my final idea by taking a lot more pictures and making and make everyone have a different facial expression instead of just the of just the one ,because it would have made it look different and made the final project look like even though its a winter effect but also it is also to do with different emotions.

But overall I think the project went well and the build up to it was good because I managed to complete it and had some inspirations from the other tasks that I done e.g. light graffiti , light orbs.
