“Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the
future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” (Buddha). The future of
communications is expanding; it is evolving into a market of well proper opportunities.
The industry is sculpting into statue of different forms. Each form testes each
individual to learn a new technique continue on to complete the job. As I’m
coming closer to graduating the University part of my life I need to look real
hard of where I’m heading. Some questions arose from me thinking about my
future.
1. Where is the company heading? Is it outsourcing
to foreign country?
2. Is the company up to date with the latest media
tools?
3. What kind of technology/software do I need to
become fluent in?
There are six essential
key elements that will help me improve the industry and land me the dream job I
always wanted. In the media business it takes a lot of Design. This means I need to be
imaginative, innovative and creative. Employers seek one who is sees things
others do not, that special thing. It takes a slick design to launch off
attention that creates business look at the apple products.
Story is important if not the most important part of engaging into
the media world. What does your idea say? It has to say a story, is your movie
going to see big s or is it just going straight to DVD. That’s what makes the
difference between something great and something not even worth mentioning. The
story in my work is my weakest point but it is also my one attribute that is
getting more developed.
In the Communication
field it takes a lot of symphony to get ahead. Symphony creates
inventions and thinks about the bigger picture. Who would have thought of a
phone that can also play music and go on the web? It took symphony to create an
idea that shook the world.
If I want to succeed in
the real world then I need to create an empathy state of mind. Empathy is going beyond
the logical state of mind and entering the emotional part of it. I have always
been called the nice guy (don’t know if it’s a good thing) however I use that
to my advantage to keep relationships, have a trusting aura and keep a positive
attitude. With that I can create friendships that will help me seek those who
“know” the industry. Just knowing someone can help you land the job.
Playing, playing is what we many
of us have been doing since birth. It is also beneficial to our creativity and
the way we learn in the industry. I have often just played with a program or a
camera when shooting and it turns out that I learn more effetely.
Communications can be fun; in fact I find it fun which is why I want to do it
for the rest of my life.
In the end what does it
all mean? The meaning of our work is what it all comes down
to. It is the purpose of the journey, the purpose of our work. When I create
something in Photoshop or in After Effects or a video it has a meaning; a
reason to be presented. The meaning of my work is what I what believe is my
best work.
The futures is bold and unknown, but with what I
learned and will learn from school, experience and creativity it already looks
bright. Uncertainty is in my present but hope is in my future.
