Hi there, this is the second part in a series of posts about breaking into the film and TV industry. In my first blog I talked about the number one element that the industry looks for when recruiting new talent – people who understand the importance and commitment of specialization in one craft. Those who are going to hire you want to know that you have a clear idea of what you ultimately want to do in the industry.
What the Industry Really Looks for When Recruiting New Talent
When we take on new talent we are not just investing in you, we are investing in the future of our industry and there are certain key values and characteristics that shine through – we look for people who are:
Efficient. Confident. Ambitious. Trustworthy. Good communicators. Honest. Intuitive. Committed. Dependable. Professional. Strive to be the Best.
If you’re interested in learning more about these attributes, check out my blog on having the right mindset for the industry – it’s targeted at camera operators, but is applicable to all areas of the crew, on or off location. I go into much more detail about what it takes to be successful in the industry.
But enough of all that, in today’s post I’m going to talk about how to dream BIG and how to create a compelling future. It might not seem important to you at this stage, but believe me… it is (more on that later).
As a result of your initial research from my first blog, you may have already decided what job you ultimately want to do in the industry or may still be searching for answers, either way I want you to do the following exercise.
