For the Studio Production Unit, I had to partake in a mock job interview in order to secure the positions I applied for the day the winning studio production pitch was announced. Since I have never been too confident when it comes to the actual operation of cameras, I applied for jobs where my main role wouldn't involve me actually handling the camera.
After some discussion, the possibility of me working with sound was pitched. I am actually quite happy to work on the production's sound, as there is a much more definitive sense of my work either being right or wrong. If the sound is staticky, or of poor quality, it will definitely be noticeable. However, when it comes to camera-work, a lot of it is subjective, meaning I could use certain shots and angles that I think are perfect, and everybody else could think they are terrible.
In creative terms, this sense of subjectivity is actually something I love about media and the arts, but when it comes to working in an environment where a lot of different opinions and through processes will be flying around, I feel that I would be much better suited to a straight forward right or wrong task, such as sound.
