This subject introduces the practical requirements of working as a self-employed professional artist. Students will develop a personal professional development plan, self-generated promotional materials and develop an awareness of the multifaceted nature of the industry locally, nationally and globally. Budgeting and taxation, agent representation, audition calls and other practical and logistical considerations are examined. Guest presenters bring different professional perspectives and experience to the discussion of the professional landscape. Material for the Showreel performance work is chosen in preparation for filming. Through workshop tasks and reflective exercises, students develop their knowledge of current industry practices.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- evaluate current opportunities relevant to career aspirations;
- propose and implement a professional development plan;
- prepare audition and showreel material and generate professional self-tapes;
- identify current industry practice and key professional organisations.
