Five Responsibilities Filmers Have  Proper care toward equipment  Filming the greatest angles  Knowledge of filming  Creating a detailed plan of action  Determine locations and budget

Is Filming a physical or mental job? I think filming is both a physical and mental job. I think this because, working a camera is a physical job but you also have to use your brain to know how to work and maintain the camera while operating. Indoor or Outdoor? I believe filming can be an indoor and outdoor job depending on what you plan the record. Work time Work hours vary from every operator and director, though most work full time. Work environment Some camera operators work in uncomfortable or even dangerous conditions, such as severe weather, military conflicts, and natural disasters. They may have to stand for long periods waiting for an event to take place. They may carry heavy equipment.

Training Camera operators usually start out as an assistant for the camera department to learn how film production works. Qualification The most common requirement to being a camera operator is to have a bachelor’s degree. Where Do You Plan On Going? Many colleges offer courses in operating cameras. I hope to go to University of Michigan or Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Classes I Will Take Now Intro TV Broadcasting Film In Our World
