You will also be writing and uploading your script for your video profile to your blog. There's three main pathways you can chose from:

• You might chose to write your script as a general introduction to yourself.
• Or you might want to focus your script around a specific area of interest eg, skate boarding, music, a special location etc.
• Or you might chose to make your script/video profile about your previous work experience or your career aspirations.

Whatever pathway your choose make sure you are passionate about it as this will come across well in your script and on screen.

There is a lot to do. You will be filming your scripts on Monday. Lets get writing.
