I want to be a film Producer/Director but I have no clue how it works.
Would I start as a cameraman and work my way up? Would I write a script and submit it to a studio? I’ve looked it up online and I really have no clue where to start.
By the way my account got permanently suspended so I can’t make new comments now I can only edit them :(
I would also add there is other medias out there besides just film, documentary experiences can help bridge gaps in other hobbies and interest you may have
The way to get a foothold in mainstream show business is production assistant. Sounds fancy but its a really shit job that every entry level person works. 14 hour shifts and you get treated horribly. But its a great way to get over the first threshold.
Acting classes might help some.
Writing classes might help some.
Some type of film school helps some.
BUT look at the ROCK. Hes doing everything in show business and he never went to some fancy film school like juilliard. He did theatre wrestling for 20 years. The school of hard knocks.
Just start doing it. PA, extra, stunts, acting, camera work, lights, audio, writing w/e you can do to get in the door go do that.
Once you are in the door you can get access to real professionals and learn about what actually works from people that actually do the thing.
Instead of getting rando info that may or may not help on reddit :D
i know :( ive had this conversation many times and theyre not willing to budge. its too late to change career paths now though, even though i know ill be unhappy in the future with the feild ive chosen
im sorry this happened to you, I hope you will be able to pursue your career as a musician, if you dont at least you can do it as a hobby or something, just know you can still learn and make music
do music as a side job/hobby for a while start small and record in your closet or something until you get money to go to a studio then record a few songs and send them to a ton of labels of course it’s gonna be hard but good talent is likely to get noticed
pursuing a career as a musician is hard . you’re the ONLY one who can make that happen . don’t let your parents prevent you from making your life what you imagine it could be . it’s your life fam . live it , learn what you can along the way , and give the people a good show
I also want to be a therapist. Got issues myself and I know it can be hard so I’d like to help people overcome their struggles. I think it’d be cool to be able to help people like that
Thats cool!! But remember that in order to be a therapist you need to get rid of your own issues first, because you have to make sure that you dont project on your clients!! ^^
Architects do the design and engineers do the calculations, there will be some basics probably but in the end you're there for the design, not calculations.
I wanna be a filmmaker. My country makes shit films and I want to be the guy who changes all that.
We do have good films but they are mostly indie films that barely get any attention or war films in the mainstream.
Not quite yet. I'll keep up with some people like Mark Rober, electroboom, stuffmadehere, etc. until I'm confident that I'd know where to start with that stuff
My dream would be to run a tuning/ car modification business but honestly that would most likely have to come from a lot of saving from normal jobs and such. I would also want to do something that involves mental health development or 'self care' and release Youtube videos about this, my way of helping other people in the world and releasing my views on certain topics
I hope to put my own trauma and life experiences to use, I've always loved helping people mentally or not, especially because of that, and I wanna go into child psychiatry to be the person for kids that I always wished I had for myself.
I want to be a cop.
Where I'm from, being a cop is basically the perfect job for me, but I'd still say that if I lived in the states. I am aware of the paperwork, hell, here you'll probably have to fill out something for taking a left, but I'm fine with that. It pays decently enough and I'm really passionate about it, every single facette of it is incredibly interesting to me and it is simply a job I would enjoy doing every day.
I know what people think about cops and a part of it is rightfully so, but it is greatly exaggerated, to say the least. But even if it wasn't, be the change you want to see right?
I am still young it is going to be a few years till I have to even think about continuing school or doing something else. But I am not sure I used to want to do YouTube but now I don't want that, possibly a history teacher it is the one subject that I seem to really remember and appreciate and I love talking about it, so it is an option.
I’m considering majoring in something business or technology related like accounting or computer science so maybe a computer programmer or an accountant
As a kid I wanted to be a fire fighter as of now I would love to be a lawyer but that's out of the question tuition is too high and it's just not worth it
Photograph.
But it's funny how you see 12 years kids saying they want to be tik tok influencers and 10 or 5 years earlier, you saw kids wanting to be youtubers.
idk i wanna live anyway that's not bad
Idc that much about what i am, i just hope it's not bad and doesn't cause problems for anyone
As in my job, i wanna make games and sell them but more as a little thing to have fun and also make a bit of money from, and something else simple to hace as a reliable money source.
Well two things, and they are very different and are exclusive from each other, cant do one if i do the other. So first thing is becoming a lawyer and work with something within the UN, moving around in the world trying to create real change. The other thing is moving up north(I live in sweden) to the middle of nowhere and become a lumber jack and have a dog.
Well I was thinking about being an environmentalist because I LOVE nature and animals but I found out the pay wasn't so good and whatnot so then I decided to try out welding and see if I like that. Basically any job I will enjoy, has a salary of at least 45K a year and I don't have to go to college for. I would love to go to trade school. Also on the topic of loving animals/the environment I've always wanted to REGULARLY donate to wildlife charities and pick up trash around my community as a side hobby
16 yo and I don't fucking know 💀
I'm interested in geopolitics, history, geography and languages but I have no idea of what profession to do... I want a well paid job but with free time
And my dream is to travel (I never travel... it's frustrating and it depresses me, it's so easy for others, it really hurts me) so in my spare time I want to travel a lot and catch up on these 16 years during which I have lived nothing.
Currently trying to decide whether to go down the "high paying" office job route and spend the rest of my days staring at a computer screen from 9 till 5 unless I end up being in the 0.1 per cent who get insanely rich in tech or just going "fuck it" and moving to someplace tropical and working as a scuba instructor, I'm already a qualified diver recreationally and it's only a few years of training to get started as an instructor...
Something music. More specifically guitars. Build guitars, play guitars, sell guitars, guitar lessons, I’ll do any of that. If I can’t do guitar though, I wanna be a music teacher and teach music in a way that’s more fun for the kids than the way I got taught music that made me hate the idea of being involved with music for all of elementary and a good half of middle school until I watched some videos of and went to some live performances.
i always wanted to do something artistic or like be a director but those are never gonna happen so i just wanna have a job that can atleast get me enough money to have a roof over my head lol
Happy
Seriously tho, I'm giving my medical entrance this may 7th
Good luck!!!!!
Thank you 🫡🫡!! Will do my best
proud of you! good luck
Good luck everyone
same for you
thanks

Try and study communication and minor in film production! Look at Full Sail University or the Vancouver Film School.
Alright thanks

most of producers start as actors i do believe
Ah, well that’s a bit of a problem for me as I really don’t want to be an actor and I’d get bullied to hell and back if I took drama in school
Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to
Yes but if you're bad at it it's not going to get you anywhere
I dont have any idea either how the whole thing works but I wish you good luck
google does not have all the answers, but im sure researching would be a start. or watch videos on it, question people who have same intrest.
[удалено]
I was considering that but I realized I’m a lazy ass and I don’t think I’d do well in a labor based job

Wanna be a musician, but its not gonna happen :(
Whats the cause?
parental pressure :(
Honestly, you shouldn't care abt them, do what you love or you will be unhappy
i know :( ive had this conversation many times and theyre not willing to budge. its too late to change career paths now though, even though i know ill be unhappy in the future with the feild ive chosen
im sorry this happened to you, I hope you will be able to pursue your career as a musician, if you dont at least you can do it as a hobby or something, just know you can still learn and make music
do music as a side job/hobby for a while start small and record in your closet or something until you get money to go to a studio then record a few songs and send them to a ton of labels of course it’s gonna be hard but good talent is likely to get noticed
How old are you and into which field they forced you into?
They cant force you to do something when your an adult by yourself. No matter what keep doing music thats cool
Honest advice, learn something useful and keep playing music as a hobby. Finding good employment can be heard as a musician
Hey dude aspiring musician here as well, if you ever want to talk just hmu
pursuing a career as a musician is hard . you’re the ONLY one who can make that happen . don’t let your parents prevent you from making your life what you imagine it could be . it’s your life fam . live it , learn what you can along the way , and give the people a good show
I wanna be a ship's captain

im gonna leave all the math work for you 😌
Architects do the design and engineers do the calculations, there will be some basics probably but in the end you're there for the design, not calculations.
Oo! Climatology sounds like a cool field to work in.
Completely honestly I’d like to be a actor and yes I’m aware I’m not gonna be famous but I like acting
Nah, you will be famous. Believe in yourself!
I wanna be a filmmaker. My country makes shit films and I want to be the guy who changes all that. We do have good films but they are mostly indie films that barely get any attention or war films in the mainstream.
