Not a particularly original concept, has been done before. But I guess all design has? Anyway...
Also it's not "a hyper island student", it's obviously you. Don't talk in the 3rd person when you are so obviously self promoting lol
Since you are a student I'm going to try and give you some advice, so don't take it the wrong way:
In regards to your folio, this is actually a pretty bad idea if you are going for a job in interactive. Why? Because people need to use and get a feel your work to get an idea if you are good or not. If someone sent me this, I wouldn't hire them. Putting it onto an iphone or ipad then taking a video of it where you can barely see the details is a poor way of displaying you work and does it no justice. A website would serve you much better, even just so you could encase various videos with added functionality to form your navigation.
The video is also buggy and doesn't link up in some places (for me at least). You would be better to create multiple files which were linked together than put it all together. A user can potentially jump ahead and therefore break the functionality of it. The video itself also needs to have been shot with a proper mic, when it's not windy as it obviously was when you did this. Also when you hold up the device to the camera, you should of been feeding the video it to a screen to ensure that it was square on. At points the person operating the camera also fails to focus properly, leaving a half second or so where it's a bit awkward. Production values are very important. Anyone hoping to get into art & creative direction should understand this.
If you were going for a more DIY feel then ignore me, but I doubt that was the objective.
I also suggest that you get a native english speaker to check any copy and text you put in your folio, as it's obvious your english is not yet at a high level and grammatically is a bit odd at times. It's all about presenting the best possible version of yourself to a prospective employer. Communication skills are essential in any agency environment, so you really need ensure your english is up to scratch if you want to get a job in a place where it is the primary language used.
