I am studying photography, how can I get into the crew or TV station? Please give me some advice from seniors.

1. Quality requirements

Whether you are joining a film crew or a TV station. One prerequisite is that you have to be able to work.

1. Requirements for working as an assistant on the set

1) Basic camera use and picture restoration control

2) Distance measurement, light metering, and follow focus

2. Requirements for "entering a TV station"

1) Basic camera use and picture restoration control

2) Basic lens language

2. method

If one of the following is satisfied, then you can consider how to enter.

1. Join the crew

First, work with a few promotional film crews to develop contacts. Generally, the work of the camera crew is not that full, and sometimes they will take on some promotional films. You and the promotional film team can directly develop connections in this area. If you think it's okay, I may take you as an assistant when the group starts

2. "Join the TV station"

Why are there quotation marks? Nowadays, TV stations are popular units. Without special connections, it is unlikely to join the establishment, but this does not prevent you from doing TV programs.

Compared to the crew, this is easier. In cities with developed media, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, etc. The number of programs produced every day is extremely impressive, and it has become an industry.

You can enter the "column group" (film and television company, media company) through introduction by acquaintances or directly through recruitment. Although it is the company that hires you, you are doing work at the TV station. For example, if you want to be an "entertainment site", it would be wrong to apply for Education Channel 3. You should go to "Enlight Media" instead.

If you really want to join a TV station, even if you are hired. You need to take the "intern" route, which usually lasts for three months. If you are suitable, you can stay. But there must be a strong relationship, otherwise there will be no internship opportunities. . . . .

That’s probably it.
