Surely having a website to showcase your work is the way to go. Video could be hosted on YouTube and then embedded in the site.
I'm not sure what the best option is for bringing anything with you when you show up in person. Presumably interviews for those kinds of jobs will tell you what options will be available for presenting. If they don't, you could probably just ask what they would like. If you've linked to your website on your CV/application and they're taking you seriously then they must have looked at it already.
And perhaps a printed special one to show at the interview, If about shooting stills. For multimedia & videowork, perhaps something similar but on your tablet (and perhaps password protected online hosting).
I'm back again, asking for some more advice. I now know that I have to create a Showreel and having never seen or made one before, I ventured onto Youtube, the font of all knowledge. :-/
Anyhow, if anybody has any experience of creating or critiqueing Showreels I'd appreciate your guidance on my attempt.
Hey I review these things a lot. You absolutely need to separate the photography from the film. You need to keep the film short and the edit punchy (60s to 75s would be plenty), use Vimeo over YouTube, introduce an opening and/or closing title with your details. Search 'Showreel' on Vimeo. There are dozens of exceptional examples that will give you insights into how the pros present themselves. Still photographs should not be in your showreel. They need to be presented in a static online folio possibly with some context/comment around the shots. You should use Flickr (or Behance). Post links to both your Vimeo and Flickr page on photography forums and you should receive some constructive feedback. DM me if you want more advice. Good luck.
