A commission is where an outside company requests for you to create content for them, whether this be an advertisement for a product they're selling, a promotional video for the company or a documentary short. It is an opportunity to put your skills to the test in all areas, such as producing, directing, shooting and editing.
By choosing the commissioning option, I will be able to work in a more hands on environment where I will be able to take control of certain projects myself while still getting the same professional working environment I could get in a work placement. The experience will also be more rewarding as the content I create will have the potential to be used by the company on their website or YouTube channel.
As a Gillingham FC supporter, the commission they were offering particularly stood out as something I might want to take up for this unit. Though the work seemed demanding and constant, the club seemed really open to our own ideas as to what we would want to create for the club, whether it be a behind the scenes video, a fun game with the players or just ways of adding to their game highlights.
