Showreel case study

As part of progressing into the industry for further education, having a showreel is important and will help employers understand the style of work an individual produces. Within my showreel, I have included both moving image and photographic pieces of work that I have produced. This is important as a media student as it shows people not just on written paper what I have completed and taken part in within my life, but the creative work I have produced.

The video chosen from site Vimeo is an exploration of nature and cinematic shots with a soothing voice over. I have chosen this video as it is something similar to something I would produce in my spare time, both to practise with a camera and to edit a piece of moving image. The video follows the life of a traveller and his camera, as he explains his love for nature and how intact he is with it. The video can be annotated as inspirational, certainly after watching it I felt the need to appreciate nature more and felt at peace. Sound plays a huge role and is an attribute I have a goal of getting better at within my work, and feel has been done excellently in this work. The creators voice and cinematic background music flows into one another along with a tone that's parallel to what's happening on screen.

Being inspired by "STILLNESS ARISES," I may produce a further piece of moving image that has a similar style for my showreel. Now that I have seen a professional piece of work and similar creations on Vimeo, my work may improve and have more of a visually clear storyline, when linking to the theme of nature and travel.

To help figure out how to begin, I have also watched an example of a filmmakers showreel on Youtube -
