Your Assignment
This assignment provides you with the opportunity to support the preparations for your intended career
path in the screen industries, or postgraduate study, after completing the course. Through the

the factors and forces that shape your chosen sector of employment or postgraduate study. This in turn
will help you to identify strategies for securing work opportunities following your graduation.
You are encouraged to arrange interviews with either current practitioners, or members of the
organisations and Guilds that underpin the sector that you are focussing your Report and CV towards.

Your Curriculum Vitae (CV) should follow directly after your Report’s Reference List.
