What's this about then?

The first project will act as a creative CV. This will allow you to not only express yourself but to reflect on what makes you tick​. The finished piece will be delivered as a short film / animation / audio, whatever media you feel fits you and your skillset and ambitions.

​

Why are we doing this?

When creating an enterprise, it is important that you consider where your skills and interests lie. A business is often a reflection of the owner. What are your ethics? What do you believe in? If your business could speak, how would it sound? Ruthless? Sympathetic? Direct?

​

What do we need to cover?

Throughout this four week project we will carry out some in class tasks and workshops such as personal SWOT and PESTLE analysis, Your Values (02a) and Evidence Modelling (02b) Nesta worksheets. We will also utilise the time for you to film / record / edit your Self-Portrait piece.

 

You will work on two parts however these can be seamlessly paired into one whole presentation.

Part 1 – an insight into you.

Part 2 – an insight into your business idea* and how it fits in with your future aspirations, whether as a career or preparation for university. 

* Don't worry if your plans are still a little sketchy. The whole point of this course is that things will evolve as the course progresses!

​

What will I need to complete for the deadline?​

A short film / animation / video game / piece of audio, whatever media you feel fits you and your skillset and ambitions. Suggested time no more than 5 minutes.
