thinking about future careers

The task that has been assigned to us this week is to choose one of the six creative industries to look further into for the first coursework within this module. As I had previously stated what I believe my dream future career could be and as this module is about future experiences I looked further into the industries to see what would fit best for a more storytelling media.

As I wanted to go into more storytelling type of media (such as creative media: animation/illustrative books to film/TV) I think going into either the: production-based industry or something similar would work best for the type of work that involves alot of storytelling elements. This will allow me to build a range of skills for the future; that helps get me to be able to understand and get more involved in the behind the scenes of production.

I would also gain the ability to know more about what storytelling elements that can go into production based industries and I believe that topic will have some inter-lapping elements to allow me to gain some experience across the board of storytelling medias and therefore I will be able to narrow the type of field I want to go into as a career.

I decided on production based through: looking into the other creative industries, through the lecture and along with this I have been interested in cinematography style storytelling as well.

I hope to be able to learn and expand my expertise within these lectures in order to gain experience and skills to help me in the future and to come together to create something interesting for the assignment.

These are examples of some interesting shots from film/TV that are used to tell stories with media.

Reflecting on My Career Goals and Planning for Professional Practice

As second year studying Media and Communications begins, during our year I’ve been looking at the different media industry works by learning theoretical and method concepts, we were brought the question: where you are now, and what do
you need to do to work towards your dream career?

At this stage in I believe it is natural to not completely know what career path to take, when it comes my dream career I’m not certain as to what career path I want to take personally. However, as I am unsure which exact career path I am completely invested in right now, I would use the different experiences that I am currently gaining to narrow down which exact career path I would like to go into.

I know there is such a wide range of careers within media such as Marketing, PR and more. However, one of the career fields that I have a lot of interest in is some form of cinematography, animation or any other story telling media. As I grew up on these forms of storytelling medias (such as films, documentaries, animations, books, etc.). In order to create a career within this field I would mainly need more experience as I only have basic practice with editing, filming, storytelling and animation.

I believe that by gaining more of a range knowledge and experience, whilst at university, and learning more about both the media industry and practices/theories that goes into the media industries will make my goals more accessible and possible to accomplish. While doing this I believe I will also be able to narrow down my career options and what I want to do for the future.
