Showreel

Before making my own showreel, I had to look at how others have made their showreel. In order to do that, I had to look at what my role is. This is the question that left me confused for most of the course until a couple of weeks ago and I decided that I am a Narrative Designer.

Originally, I thought I was a Game designer and while I do enjoy designing games, the area I want to focus on is the narrative behind the game. The foundations of the game. It's the narrative to a game that I'm interested, not so much the game play itself. That is why most of the games I player are role-playing games (and usually strategy or turn-base). I'm in the same mind with films and animation: its the story I want to know.

So I looked up the term, unsure if its an established role and it is, although still young one.

Finding showreels for this was hard and came up fruitless. So I looked up writers (like I did with website design) as well as directors.

One example I looked at showcased the writers script and then the final production of it so I decided to go with that, showcasing that I'm a writer and then I can develope from the original written document, to script, storyboard and then final production.
