Unit 23 what is a personal media profile?

Media Profile

There are 3 different types of media profiles. These are:

  • A personal media profile is another form of a digital portfolio, but rather than just showcasing content, it may well contain testimonials, blogs or experiences which are relevant to the sector the profile is aimed at.  

  • A social media profile relates to having a Facebook, Instagram etc profile, which in this context relates to personal and social content, with no reference to employment purposes.  

  • A digital portfolio is online, or even a portfolio of work on a DVD. it could contain a showreel or simply pieces of work in an electronic format.


Why do I need a personal media profile?

I need a personal media profile for my digital media extended certificate coursework because with this I am able to broadcast and report anything that I have done that is linked with this sector. It acts as a piece of evidence that is collected and managed by a user. the benefits of having a personal media profile is that I am able to document images, videos, text, graphics etc. on this portfolio so that the viewers are able to see everything.


The definition of a digital portfolio is that it is a collection of electronic evidence put together and managed by a user and put on a web. The evidence may include input text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries, and hyperlinks.


A good example of this is http://harney.me

Strengths of https://www.studiofeixen.ch/ 
  • Clear display of work
  • Displayed like a mood board
  • Hyperlinks shown
  • Evidence shown clearly
  • Descriptions and explanations of work

  • Slow website
  • Boring
There are many strengths and weaknesses of a digital portfolio. For example: the strengths of a portfolio is that there is richer evidence that is shown, this can be through text, images, videos, graphics etc. this acts as proof of work. It also easier to share the information between different systems as it can be shared through website links. Furthermore, when all your evidence is gathered, the digital portfolio is there and ready to be inspected by anyone. When all this evidence has been gathered and put on the digital portfolio and published, the evidence on there will never be lost as it can only be altered by the user who's portfolio it is and it is automatically saved. A digital portfolio is very time efficient, it is quick and easy to upload something on and it saves time for the user to be getting on with other things.

The weaknesses of a digital portfolio are that because a digital portfolio is done online and therefore will require a computer system and some people may not know how to work one or may not like going on them. There is also a security issue on digital portfolios as there is a chance of unauthorised access and altering. A user may forget their username and/or password which means they won't be able to access their digital portfolio without the hassle of retrieving their password. Also, it requires an internet connection and not everyone will have one or a good one which means they may not be able to make one or it can be difficult to do so.
