Support Task 2 C

The trades union depends the support of where you work in, if you work for a salon or a company/ agency then you have a regular work place. If you are a freelance makeup artist then this may not apply.

These bullet points below was taken from this website of which if you think any parts of these points viable by your employer are being broke then the trades union can help you take action to get what you deserve.

Trade unions:

• negotiate agreements with employers on pay and conditions
• discuss major changes to the workplace such as large scale redundancy
• discuss their members; concerns with employers
• accompany their members in disciplinary and grievance meetings
• provide their members with legal and financial advice
• provide education facilities and certain consumer benefits such as discounted insurance

But this all applies if your company or your self apply to the trades union in the first place.

After looking for supporting bodies also for the makeup industry I found the Art Council England which The BFI- help with lottery funding to film production, education, distribution, audience development and market intelligence, core funded by the government.

This lead me to find a whole document page on bodies and organisations affecting the creative industry. This shows what the organisations are and what they do toward the film and TV industry.

I also further went into trade unions which dealt with media and entertainment, which lead me to find BETCU.  This union helps with any hair and make-up artists who freelance of which they recommend you shouldn't accept any less than the amount founded by the union members. This also has a document which I have printed to have so that you know for each piece of work and even for a trainee what you should be getting paid for a certain amount of hours.

They say you should join there union because they will help with improvements to pay and the conditions of employment; work hours, sick pay, holiday entitlement and job security. Also they say they will help to provide proper protection of the workforce through the commitment of health and safety, equality and training define the company.

It also states "BECTU has long-standing recognition agreements with a huge number of employers operating in the media and entertainment industries. From large scale employers like the BBC, ITV, the National Theatre or Odeon, through to smaller operations such as the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal, or an animation workshop in Bristol, BECTU branches are working for their members."To any member thinking about joining a union this would maybe help in making a decision compared to others as they have agreements with most of the major make-up industry employers.

Database Of Clients and Contacts.Task 2 B

As I am only just starting of in the industry the only clients would be family and friends A database would be held on-line on an excel page which would hold a table of names of clients or contacts which would look like this;

http://www.ctmecontracts.com/eContracts/wp/ctm/features/Features.asp?FeatureName=Clients%20Database

This shows columns of clients of companies/agents which work can be found from with contact info of address, phone number and what the company name is for and what it is. This is a different use of a database made of an alphabetical search option above if the client or agent base was large, not for a small business.

Being kept on a computer system can cause problems if the system breaks. So it should be backed up on a USB and also in a address book as loosing clients and contacts.

I made a database using excel showing mostly some people I have worked with and models that have or would model. The email and numbers are fake for data protection.

This shows how a small organised business would look like this but a bit bigger. If it was a bigger business then the pages of contacts would be active for finding out contacts for the different types of information. The details would be on separate pages e.g- Photographers, Agents Then Models/Clients.

Cv developing Task 2 A

The changes of my work CV are different to the aspects added on the CV edited are on a loose document instead of on the blog as it wouldn't be see'able. I have also over viewed a CV which I think could have amendments.

http://www.makeuptutorialforyou.com/tag/free-download-makeup-video-tarenig

This is a very organised CV but it doesn't have no personality expect for the colouring as it has no personal view of the person as an employer would look for individual qualities that could stand out also. Like organisation and the enthusiasm of working and processing with make-up.

On the documents given on the development of my CV, I have edited a CV towards make-up compared to my retail employment CV. But the CV has been developed on the CV I have looked upon and took the good qualities out of this to make one. But as I would also like to add more colour to my CV to show the effects of what a make-up artist would like to show on there work. 

The main details that should be on a CV are ;

• Name
• Contact Details
• Layout & Spelling
• Skills & Qualifications
• Experience
• And Visual Culture
