Chloe Jane Hesketh

All those years I have studied within education, and it is nearly at an end. Surprisingly it is quite a fright, the thought of not starting that continuous routine of education again in September...

Meanwhile, I am extremely proud of myself, to have stuck at it, even when most of my friends are in full time work. When you see them all with the flash cars, latest clothes... being a student it is hard to watch- but I know in the long run I will achieve my goal and it has extremely been worth my while.

I can't wait to start earning an income now :)

I am pleased that I got another assignment back achieving a high first of 83%- I am really pleased with my progress for my final year because I have approached all tasks with a can-do attitude.



And on that note- I have handed my Dissertation in, therefore we only have two weeks left to create a showreel and it's SUMMER!

This was one of the pictures I got- it was beautiful. I met some wonderful people.

I met everyone on the business network and they all seemed extremely professional and friendly.

Furthermore, we all sat around a table and all members of the team stood up individually explaining who they were, about their business/the business they worked for and a potential client they are interested in. As the meeting went on I learnt that it was all the team members role to try and get in contact with the "potential clients" and recommending them to people who need their service.

BNI- word of mouth marketing for one another, they hold team meetings regularly to see team members progress and make sure everyone is succeeding with the service.

Personally I thought it was a fantastic way of getting your business out there locally, and spreading the good work across. Although, it does narrow down to "what you put in, is what you get out" - therefore you must help others on the team to get work, because they are more than likely to get you work back.

It relies on recommendations and it is an international company!

The director of BNI asked me to stand up and express myself- I did to almost everyone on the team and they were pleased with my confidence. A media creative also passed me over his card when we all had breakfast- which meant I must have done well in my pitch for him to take interest in me.

It helped me understand business and how important networking really is! linkedin

Well I have had deadlines left, right and centre the last few weeks- finally time to breathe and also make a blog post about what I have been doing.



Production Project- completed!! It had been a journey, but we all came very far and it was worth the long hours and pressure. My main roles were the Producer and Director, although I was involved in the cinematography and the edit. Working alongside; Natalie Donnelly and Thomas Salzano.


In order to be able to watch the project you will need to download a QR Code scanner (free from your app store) - you will need a main screen, ideally computer desktop/laptop/tablet and your smart phone will be used for the second screen.

The overal aim of the documentary was to be creative and challenge stereotypical documentaries which are talking heads (can become quite boring to watch)- we began with the sound of the character telling her story and it was all about planning, being imaginative and researching ideas to illustrate the narrative.

The idea of using second screen was to keep viewers engaged because after doing research The Guardian Online stated.
"eDigitalResearch / IMRG (October 2012)

My University years are nearly coming to an end... it has gone too quickly but I am surprisingly excited to start pursuing my media career. 

 The Havin Turkish Restaurant- Southport, Merseyside- Are always in contact with myself in regards to designing menus and advertisements for their company.

Meanwhile, after reconstructing their old menus which they were very pleased with they have also got in touch to design the Valentines Day Menus.

I decided to start the Menu with a front image which will make the consumer want to read the menu, rather than it being a compulsory element of going to a restaurant.

The viewer will then turn over the menu, to find the dishes they can choose from.

Alongside my dissertation I am also undertaking The Production Project- which is a short documentary about the journey of a child's adoption breakdown. This was the idea I came up with which has been carried out with myself and two other members. Before christmas our team have been doing lots of planning and researching and now we are in the production stage.

We created a Facebook group which allows all the team to post images, videos or content for the production- not only that it also allows us to time manage or ask any questions or queries. Meanwhile, this could be done by email or text, but it becomes a long scrolling session if you might have been busy all day, were as Facebook it keeps it all together in one post, therefore much easier to catch up with the information.


The group have been working effectively because we have worked a lot individually and brought our ideas to the group as we found this works better, as sometimes sitting in a group and asking each other to come up with an idea can be slightly time consuming.

We have also used Pinterest which has been a great tool to be able to capture a theme and be able to illustrate it ourselves from some of the ideas researched.

He also explains how they will always have to be keeping up-to-date with trends, and that they will not be in a job were it will be the same until they retire.

Hesketh Decorators is a company which I have been working closely with to enable them to have an online presence. Furthermore even though the company has been around for such a long time, new clients will ask "Do you have a website?" or "Do you have any images of previous jobs?"

The company just needs to merge with the technology and not see it as a threat. Furthermore I have designed them a website, along with Facebook group, Twitter Account and Instagram..

Now the company can work with the digital age too... they loved my design skills and have been getting work from this.

They also have a Rated People account where customer reviews are shown, as well as images which I have updated for them.

What a pleasure to meet Neil, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about his business. Meanwhile, the thought of him expanding the business is something that I would be interested in helping him with.

What a great contact to meet!

The Work Based Learning Scheme really does give you confidence when interviewing the business owners, whilst learning about what they want from employees will help myself understand how to showcase myself to help the success of their business.
