Advantages and Disadvatages

Editing Job

An advantage of this job role is that it is on a freelance basis meaning that you are self employed. This gives you the option where to work and for how long. A disadvantage of this is that when you job is completed you will need to find another immediately afterword. A disadvantage of the job is that it is located in spain, I believe this is a disadvantage because of transportation cost, Language barriers, Being away from family and friends with could be a critical problem if a crisis appears within your personal life. An advantage of working aboard is that you get to meet people abroad, and you get to travel around the world. You will also gain more experience which will look good on your CV if you have shown to be working on a global scale. A disadvantage of this job is that you need to provide own transport. An advantage of this is that you could be working in open places and you will avoid the working day rat-race.

In this job role you will be working in a team, this could be advantage because you could open your network of people and gain you more jobs in the future.

New Dawn (Short Film)

Location:

Manchester/Salford

Employer:

Student

Duration:

2 days, starts Last week of March

(non-Equity artist contracts)
Payment is on a lo/no/deferred basis.
Director: Ian Dunning. It’s 2045, the UK is in ruins, there have been a number of disasters through out the years, which have had lasting damage on the public, and the UK’s resources, these failings to protect the public have brought large unrest to the UK population. Campaigning on a policy of change and stability Dawn Phillips has just won the general election.
We enter on a meeting between Dawn and a small selection of the best advisors in the country as they try and work out a full plan as to how to get the country back in running order and back to the days that the older public fondly remembers.
During the meeting we follow through the discussions/arguments as to what needs to be done on the main subjects currently in the publics eye, these are flooding, drinking water supplies, UK’s energy security and possible population problems. During these discussions we will occasionally have a flashback to the disaster or to the publics reaction to the disasters.
As the meeting draws out the new PM starts to get more and more exhausted and depressed with the arguments between the solutions and the debate if they are worth the financial cost to the country and if the solutions are just quick shortcuts, which could have a bigger impact in the future.
Actors need to be located around Manchester or North West of England or be willing to cover their own expenses.
