Adjustments

I made a few minor adjustments to the showreel such as the images used. I chose a few images that I didn't originally select and removed some of the ones I did. I did this because I felt that I although I had to be as focussed as I could on the field I wanted to enter, I also had to show a range within that field so that potential employers/clients could see I was adaptable. I paid attention to Lecky-Thompson (2007) who explains that a showreel needs to show a scope of style and images as there is just as broad a range of clients as there are styles of art. (p214).

I also removed the more cartoon like images from my showreel as I thought that even though they showed a range of style, they were not my best work and instead I used them in the gallery on the website where I could showcase more work.

I wanted to include more images but I couldn't enter any more into the 30sec showreel without making the images that are included already go by too quickly. Most showreels lasted around 3-4 minutes but then most professional showreels had far more art to choose from.
