Here is a selection of employers that, hopefully, I will/can work for at some point in my professional media career as well as the products and profiles of said employers. Basically what they do, who they are and why I want to work for them.
1. VALVE - The profile of Valve is the computer game company that cares, they are the inventors of Genre defining FPS Half-life and have meticulously maintained and improved their public image through their creation of the Steam digital game distribution software, a format allowing games to be bought, played downloaded and installed from the internet and practically saving the PC gaming format from losing out to the console gamers. Their products range from PC games to merchandise of their popular franchises they have created several franchises of games Including Team Fortress and Portal which have won a string of awards due to their usual traits of snappy writing and interesting stories and characters.
One of the main reasons I would like to work with Valve is their support to their fans (evident through the releasing of award winning Portal for free on the steam platform in 2010) and attitude to work. here are few videos that will hopefully explain the creative but fun atmosphere they seem to have at Valve HQ.
2. ZEPPOTRON - An award winning comedy company that mainly produces TV shows for Channel four, with comedian/writer Charlie Brooker being one of the main players in this company it has consistently brought out hilarious shows such as Newswipe, Nathan Barley and 10'Clock News.
As well as more serious but still funny programs like Deadset and more recently Black Mirror.
The main reason for wanting to work here is the type of comedy they seem to want to produce in almost all of these shows seems to reflect quite well with me, as well as bring part of an award winning production team who knows the craft of analytical comedy and clever script writing.

3. PINEWOOD STUDIOS - The biggest Film production site in england, who (with an interest in film) wouldn't want to work at this bustling hive of different media companies working together to reach many deadlines?
To me this is the pinnacle of british film production and television (they sometimes used to shoot the Weakest Link there) working here would be a prestigious as well as challenging experience.
The side of things here I would particularly like to work in would hopefully be on set with one of the productions. Past products of Pinewood studio productions have included such films as Christopher Nolans - The Dark Knight and more recently work on the new Lord of the rings film from Peter Jackson - The Hobbit.
