User Personas

Matt Shark
Matt Shark is 29 years old and has been working within the television and film industry for 6 years. He’s incredibly creative and driven and has moved through the ranks quickly due to his dedication and his audacity. Matt drives a flashy sports car, though he can barely make the payments due to his unpredictable work schedules, and buys the latest fashions in order to appear like he is worth more than he actually is. At 29 he’s already directed 15 music videos for major artists and regularly works on commercials with his network of buddies. He’s hired because of his work ethic and he knows where he’s going. Though not much older than the typical A.I. student, he is well-connected and has proven his worth in the industry and is therefore often the crew member put in charge of hiring Production Assistants and Interns. Matt regularly visits sites like AdCritic.net and TheHollywoodReporter.com (and pays for membership) to keep current with industry news, keep tabs on his colleagues, generate potential connections and learn about new business opportunities. Though Matt doesn’t enjoy “student films” per se, he will download and archive video clips on the Internet that inspire him.


Sally Studious

Sally Studious is a creative 20 year old looking to transfer from her community college to a more specified “art” school where she can (be near the beach) specialize in a media-related major. Sally regularly visits websites like LAFilm.com’s student showcase (for creative inspiration), MySpace (for exposure to new musical artists) and Apple’s site for movie trailers. She likes a high quality experience on the Internet and she knows she wants to have a career in the Entertainment industry but she doesn’t know what she’s interested in yet. Sally has visited several “career college” sites but the overly-hyped marketing scares her away and she’s very aware when the example student work on the site hasn’t been changed in a few months. She’d rather go on to a school message board on Facebook or MySpace to ask the current students how they really feel about the programs they’re in.
