I have come to the realisation that there are gaps in my skill in terms or being a director and/or scriptwriter.
For starters, I have never worked proffesionally in either of these roles as I've only worked independantly on my own projects. In order to exceed in these job roles, I would need to find proffesional work in the TV industry. In order to be hired, I would need to provide an impreesive CV/resume and attend job opportunities and interview to find work in these sector. Additionally, Sheffield Hallam University provides courses in filmaking and writing; I believe it would be befitial for me to study these to improve my knowledge and understand for future film projects.
I also believe that improvements should be made to my communication skills, as previously I've worked amongst people I've know personally, so the way I've addressed them and spoken to the on the projects was allowed to be informal. When working on proffesional pieces, I'm aware that I'll have to speak to the actors and crew in a different way, being respectful yet stern in order to complete filming successfully and keep the project to a working environment. However, I believe I exceed in terms of written communication, practical production and most importantly, creativity.

LO3 - My Contributions
My Contributions as a Director and Scriptwriter
As a director and and scriptwriter, I contributed a lot of work that went to completing and creating these seperate short films. Except for the actors involved, these films were made indipendantly, with myself being the backbone of the films' production and putting effort into every job I undertook for these projects.
Personally, I'd say my direction and script were fundemental towards the films' comedy as my sence of humour is shown through the visuals that I instructed and puns being used frequently in the scripted dialogue.

LO1 - Job Roles Key Functions
Job Roles Key Functions
The key functions of a director are to keep control and order over those working on the film (cast and crew), and to assign each of them jobs that go towards creating the final film and to a high quality that matches the director's vision. I believe that I have the skill to be able to perform these key functions and work confidently as a director as I see myself as being organised enough to see that each job is completed to a proffesional standard.
Meanwhile, the key functions of a scriptwriter are to follow the instructions of the director. The director will give an indication of how they want the scene to play out, so the scriptwriters' job is to put it to paper by creating the scene is text and inventing the dialogue to be used and give clear written ques to the actors of how the roles/scenes should be played. These decision must be made by both the scriptwriter and director, so these key functions relie heavily on teamwork by both job roles.
