What to Hand-In?Think of the presentation - quality paper used

for CV / Business Cards

Packing of showreel - dvd cover / dvd face cover / if website then obviously this would be on business card to advertise

The office might staple through your work so remember an envelope / box to avoid this

Be Consistent with look & feel in all elements - including social media, film titles, website design - CV, Business Cards
