SKILLS GAINED

The skills I gained from this project would aid me in becoming a freelance sound designer. I gained communication and networking skills by reaching out to various charities and production companies. I had to use different modes of communication such as emails, phone calls and messaging apps and ensure that I was professional in the way I went about this. I also gained skills in promotion, more specifically analysing market trends, identifying a target group and how best to market towards this. This would help when identifying job opportunities and how best to about them in terms of contacting filmmakers, production companies etc. to offer my services as a sound designer. I also learned the benefits of using social media as a means to contact people and promote myself through this.
