• the resources I already have a gaming laptop/computer, transport my be a slight problem with relying on buses to get to and from places as I don't have a drivers licence yet I can easily create an online presences for my future plan at any-time such as twitter/facebook or any other type of social networking. I have applied for my provisional and my dad is going to teach me how to drive then I will get some lessons.my dad is happen to let me borrow is car
• I can access a team once i leave uni since some people that do the computer game technology course go on a try to make up an indi game company. this is one way of me getting a team as i could end up working with a classmate in the future.
• for offices and work spaces fund would be lacking to rent a place to use to the use of people houses would be done instead as it will be easier at first. i can raise funds by getting a part time job. I can also go to a bank to get a business loan .once funds have been raised  renting a small office out in Cambridge should be fairly easy. offices to rent this is a site I can investigate for renting and office.
• equipment is something that can be done later on, it would go down as basically computers and types of game design software that would can and a wifi for a connection office equipment such as desks and chairs would be needed and have an account set up for electricity and any-other utilities . examples of such software to make games. http://tyranobuilder.com/ https://unity3d.com/

P4: Careers Plan Flow Diagram

Key
Blue-long term plans at Uni,pink -short term plans to make small indi company to develop one or two small games-bright green-medium term plans are the course at uni where some of my projects would have to be developing my own game

evaluation
short term-plans are to make a small basic indi company outside of Uni and make a few games, hopefully this will last longer than it is indented to last and could go on for a while hopefully
medium term-plans are to make a few games with-in Uni while i am doing the course
long term-plans are to finish the computer games technology course at Anglian Rusin and get a job with-in the industry
contingency plan-if all else fails my back-up plan is a program that anglia ruskin are doing for people who don't make it into the university where they help them with what they can do

plan
skills and measures i will address in my plan are to learn to Program, this will be the must needed skill for computer game development and as a measure to learning it my dad can assist me/ show me a bit more on programming out side of Uni to help me understand it more quicker as the first term is learning the basics of programming as they must act like no one knows how to do it as some people may know while others may not know.

in the next 3-4 years to help raise funds i could take up a part time job to help aid in the raising of funds for my plan. i can also try to establish some kind of relationship with some gave development studios around cambridge and try for an apprenticeship there for work experience, this will help me as it will get me used to the industry and know what it likes

p2: evaluate your own qualities

A: Personal characteristics.

• I consider myself to be a quiet person but have learnt to mix with other people and widen my interests and circle of friends. I am planing to study at ARU I will join clubs such as anime club, dr who club and gaming club to increase my contacts and social confidence every year I go to a small convention in Cambridge and I will continue to do this for years to come to make friends and networks.

• I enjoy reading fiction books from other parts of the world. 

• I am a tall person and my height may be off putting to others but I am softer than I appear.

• I have younger brothers that keep me busy and join me with the card games I play.

• I consider myself to a responsible adult.

• I am not really a party goer and do not live the life of a normal 19 year old. I would rather go home than go into town at night. This may be because of my Aspergers or may be down to the way I want to be.at university there will be plenty of other people with Aspergers that share my interests and this will also increase my confidence and network opportunity  

B: Skills.

• Camera work. gained from studying As photography and it is a hobby

• Editing skills such as videos, pictures. 

• Adobe Photoshop/Premier.

• Designing new games and ideas.

C: Relevant achievements.

• I made a documentary on Cosplay in 2014 which took me 2 months to complete. This was mainly film in Cambridge with the permission of other Cosplayers.

• I made an Ad campaign for a local business in Cambridge. This was for a store called "Backstitch" We were advertising the store to encourage people to visit the store itself. This was with a sliding advert for sowing classes. There was also a flyer and a news paper advertisement.

• A local singing artist requested a music video to be filmed by some students, I volunteered for this along with some other students. We filmed the artist over a period of a couple of hours and each of us edited our own version. Once completed, I then uploaded the video to the internet. Link attached for your information.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr2XPl9DRvw, I am interested in doing more of this in the future. 

D: Experiences and interests-

• My interests are Reading, Photography and Walking. I find walking very therapeutic and allows me to think and relax. I enjoy Cosplay and science fiction. I have also had a keen interest for computer and technology from a very young age.

• Experiences: Made a music video for a local artist, made an ad campaign for a local business, skilled with the use of effects in video editing (making a short film, music video and documentary) I have a keen interest in still photography and have taken many photos of things that interest me.

for the short evaluation these are some of the skills I am good at/ skill i will need later on once i go to a further level of education. my writing and spelling skills need some work at ARU they run study skills work shops to help improve this areas and I will join these 

am good at camera work, picture editing,idea development,my maths skills are good and I have level 2 diploma in science which may come in useful in gaming topics.
i am ust about to complete a level 3 media diploma and after that i am planning to study a BA in computer game technology skills. i am not sure of what I  would like to do after i have finished at ARU but may consider further study. I will need are basic understanding in programming, Software Engineering, Basic Maths for Technology,3D Modelling and Animation. those skills are needed when it comes to making a computer game, they are some of basic things you need to do while making a game
