EOC: Career Goals

                My career goals as an audio and video producer is to continue to build my connections in the industry and work with a bigger production such as Universal or Disney. I have been practicing audio production for over three years at the Art Institute of Las Vegas Nevada. During my practices in college, I have been able to expand my horizon of production by adding an additional arsenal to my skillset which is knowing how to direct, film, and edit video.

                As an audio producer, I have always been seeking to learn more and more about engineering. I started off as a performing rap artist composing my own songs working with other producers and engineers. I then wanted to learn the language so I can communicate with other producers properly and understand the fundamental of the field I am in. To be a great artist, I needed to learn all these skillsets.

                After achieving such a strong wide skillset, my network started to grow prior to moving to Las Vegas. I now have been recently connected with Snoop Dogg to the fact that we are both from Long Beach California, and have also recently worked in production for Roy Jones Jr (the former heavy weight boxing champion of the world) filming a documentary for his new trainer Jason Ingwaldson who works at Roy Jones’s new boxing academy gym located in Las Vegas.

                My goals will always be to continue to make improvements in my craft and to continue to build my network. Network advantages gave me to opportunities to work with directors, producers, and a few celebrities in the industry. I hope to see myself in the near future working with a big production set for a big feature film, as I am already working with a small production set filming and editing for television broadcasting.

EOC1:

- One way i can make my homepage a lot more entertaining is to add a flash motion slide show that can help the audience be amused. If i were to just add still photos, the home page would look boring and no one would want to click on anything and maybe even leave my site.

- Another way i can improvise my home page is with showing pictures of celebrity artists i have worked with recently such as Snoop Dogg and the Dogg Pound Record. Celebrities will always bring attraction, and I am involved with a lot of celebrities in the industry.

- In order for my to seduce the audience, I would need something that can catch their attention in the short amount to time span that us humans have. If i can add some type of visuals that can lure and audience in and continue to keep them amused, rather than having still pictures and no music, i might be able to keep the audience attracted a lot longer than average and actually have them be interested in clicking on other links.

- Also showing my credentials of big names i have worked with in the industry might help bring traffic to my website and also have the audience amused. The main thing to keep an audience amused and entertain before they click on to another site.

- Last but not least, music and motion graphics might be able to help keep an audience attracted. I am not to familiar with building a website, and yes as an audio student, web designing is not my cup of tea, but as i studied other websites, i can incorporate other designs from other websites to keep my own website a lot more entertaining. Because the main objective is the keep the audience amused so they can stay in your website longer than a minute and also check everything out that you have to provide for the website.

EOC:

The mother moved to New York to find her daughter. She might have used all her networks and connection to even find out where her daughter was in the first place. She then started mingling with others in the art industry that she was unaware of. Of course a little bit of alcohol and mingling might lead to a job. She did not know she was networking at the time, but getting to know her date with some alcohol led her to become an artist.

While the mother was on a date, she started showing off her photos that she took, which is basically her material and content of art. Her date was actually in the art industry, little did she know. He was impressed with her work. This led the two to become business partners. Eventually the mother moved in with her date to continue her new passion of art. So she basically left her home which was down south, just to go work.

In this industry, you might not get the chance to work at your home town. You are going to have to take risks and get out of your comfort zone just to get a specific job that fits your field that you are aiming to work for. As an artist and producer, I am willing to travel the world if needed to accomplish the task that is ahead of me. Many artists and producers establish their selves in Europe, New York, or Los Angeles. One of the top three cities for entertainment.

Networking can always lead you to your next destination in life. With a little bit of alcohol involved with industry mingling, you might meet the person you need to meet that will help you get to where you need to get to in life. In order to get where I needed to get in the music industry, I moved out of Los Angeles, onto Las Vegas in order to expand my network horizon. I have now met different directors and producers from all over the world, because Las Vegas is the entertainment capital.

Now I am getting different gigs, whether I am producing, performing, or directing, I am always getting phone calls to get booked. All thanks to a little bit of alcohol, networking, and most importantly, taking a risk and moving to another city to get what I needed.  

MMA420 Week 4 - Devil Wears Prada

In the Devil wears Prada, the main character was looking for a job but did not really care about what the job was. She did not care about the history of the job, nor what the requirements were for the job. The job was about fashion. She had no type of fashion, nor did she know how to network at the time. Fortunately she was able to get the job.

                Usually coming in to an interview like that, you would want to know a little brief history about the job, and what type of dress code do the employers usually wear. You want to dress the part and actually fit in with the fashion of business. You want to be able to understand and speak the language they speak comfortably.

                Eventually, the main character starts to get used to the program and agenda that the employers were pacing their selves at. She learned how to walk the walk and also talk the talk. She changed her outfit to fit accordingly to the job. She changed her fashion and started learning about the fashion. Now usually, you would already want to know about all these things before even entering an interview so that the interviewee can be more interested in you.

                Basically, the deeper meaning of the Devil Wears Prada movie is to stay ready so you do not have to get ready. The main character had to prepare herself after she already got the job. 9 times out of 10 you will not get the job if you are not prepared for the situation. If you prepare yourself ahead of time, you can be ready for any questions the interviewee might ask you. You can prepare yourself to actually get employed.
