task 3C the importance of the source.

information souses play a HUGH part not only in our profession but in everyone's life's.
if we didn't have sources we wouldn't learn facts it would all just be knowledge from what people have said, and how would you know if any of it was true. it could just end up as one big Chinese whispers. before starting the course if someone had asked my what were my 5 main sources of information i would of said i don't know. since starting the course i have learnt so much about i i use the web and other sources. i had been using them all along but never had acknowledged it.

my 5 main sources are: Google, Books, People, my ipad and ipod, and also facebook.

Google
i would say google is my main source, a bit of an addiction in a way. i use google every day to update myself and calender of auditions that are upcoming. i also use google to update my image. in other words online shopping, i like to see whats in fashion.
 i also use google to research things that i query in the day. or if i want to learn about something i didn't understand. i use it allot for my BAPP course. I'm not the cleverest person so i use it to research about the subject.

Books
Even though there is information available on google i still like to go to the library and borrow a book. as i find there is more in depth information in a book.

People
even though you cant rely on what people say all the time, i find that they hold some us full information. for example: old friends from college may know about auditions you don't and you get informed by them.... job opportunity.
also its about who you know in this indersty , so knowing the right people will get you the right information.

Ipad/Ipod
like on liam's blogg i also use my ipad and ipod. i use it to download free music, books ect
i use them to access google and facebook etc. my main app i use is "The Stage" which cost me £1.99 and i think its amazing. i get all the auditions on my ipad which i use every day.

Facebook
facebook is probably my second main source of information. i don't go on facebook as much as i used to i feel i don't use it for social reasons as much any more i use it for following casting groups such as, spotlight, Debbie O'Brian and dance cast. i feel i need to widen my horizons and open a twitter account to follow casting directors and choreographers.

i think my 5 main sources are import in my life and carear path as they open up opotunies to gain jobs.
other souses i use: calander, my phone (my contacts), my dairy and journal.
