Creative Media Industries - Freelancing - Your Conclusion.


I simply want you to write me a couple of paragraphs reviewing what you've learned and telling me whether freelancing is for you. Put the heading up 'CONCLUSION'. 


Paragraph one could start 'Researching freelancing I've discovered that . . . . ' 

You know about the financial pressures, the insecurities and the hard work. Re-iterate some of these. You also know about the positivies, the freedom, the flexibility, the creativity. Re-iterate some of these also. 

Paragraph two could start 'Thinking about myself and freelancing I think . . . .' 

You’ve heard the warnings now about how tough freelancing is.It’s now down to you to tell me whether you think the freelancing life is one for you.  Do the benefits of working for yourself, not for any fixed company appeal to you? Do they outweigh the difficulties financially? Or do you think that you just don’t have the personality (go back to the findings of the Jung Typology test or if you’ve forgotten/lost it, DO IT AGAIN) for freelancing? Do you need the security and steadiness that a full-time staff position entails? 

Whatever your decision is - JUSTIFY IT. There’s no wrong/right conclusion, only an honest and fair one ACCORDING TO YOU, what you know about yourself, and what you’ve learned about what freelancing is like.

Creative Media Industries - Session 8 - Freelance Contracts

Open up a new section called 'FREELANCE CONTRACTS' For now I simply want you to  define a contract  and tell me  the kind of thing you'd expect to see  in a Media contract for a freelance worker. Here's what I think from experience of reading/signing many media contracts over the years. Feel free to put this in yr own words but conduct your own research as well to add detail. CONTRACT DEFINITION A contract is simply a legally binding document which spells out the terms of employment for an individual, containing both what is expected of the employee in his or her role, and what the employee can expect from their employers. Freelance Media Contract Essentials  Info  - An Employment Contract form should contain basic information about the company and the new employee, names, addresses, contact details (phone/e-mail). If it doesn’t, obviously DON’T sign it or work for that company. It should also contain a description of work required and a start date,

This will cover Learning Outcomes 2 and 3 from the 4 learning outcomes attached to this unit.
