A personal media profile is
another form of a digital portfolio, but rather than just showcasing content,
it may well contain testimonials, blogs or experiences which are relevant to
the sector the profile is aimed at. A
personal media profile is represented as a digital form of a portfolio, which
may showcase audio visuals as a film reel, or a collation of photos you have
previously taken, it’s initial meaning of a personal media profile is to
forecast your creative potential and content to it’s employer. A social media
profile relates to having a Facebook, Instagram etc profile, which in this
context relates to personal and social content, with no reference to employment
purposes and focuses more on an audience.
Why do I need a personal media profile?
I need a personal media profile
throughout my two years studying Digital Media, this is due to the fact that it
can show progression throughout our years of study, starting from the start and
how we have developed our analysis and attitude towards the subject. This is
beneficial to us as it can also show people how we have developed, while also
keeping a personal calendar of what we have done to date.
