Video Production Career Test

By /

Most people know that someone made the films and videos they watch, but very few people know how many different roles it takes, or how different those jobs are from each other. The person who decides where the camera points is doing something completely different from the person who decides what the story is about. And both of them are doing something completely different from the person who makes sure the whole production stays on budget and on schedule.

Some of these careers happen before a single frame is filmed, some happen entirely after the cameras have stopped rolling, and some happen in the middle of the night in an editing suite. Take a few minutes to find out which part of video production could suit you.
