Evaluation of Resources
Strengths
I currently own a Canon 600d camera with a standard lens and 15-200mm lens, this camera is good for basic short productions.....When it comes to editing I use an Apple Macbook pro with the entire Adobe Creative Cloud. I have a few firm contacts in the music industry including, artists and band management. My web presence is pretty strong, I currently have accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, Youtube, and Linkedin. In terms of locations for filming/photography, I am free to use my flat and places within college, I can also easily get permission to use public places. I can get direct trains to London and Cambridge from where I live which helps when filming elsewhere. 

Weaknesses
In terms of weaknesses, I currently have pretty limited work experience and have a large area for improvement with using adobe programmes. I do not have a driving license which limits my ability to get to certain places however I will hopefully have this soon. I do not have any official funding, only any spare money I have from working. 


Opportunities
There are loads of apprenticeships, paid, or unpaid work in the media industry which I can apply for to extend my knowledge. I can work with friends on projects in my free time which will also allow me to work with other kinds of equipment and give me practise in my weak areas. 

Threats
While I am at college I don't think there are any threats really, however the media industry is very competitive and is always changing which can make it difficult to establish yourself in a self employed role.
