What can film and television post-production major do?

In the later stage of film and television, I mainly study film and television editing, post-special effects production and synthesis, including green screen keying, example special effects production and post-special effects synthesis. , as well as other work, such as video color matching, the production of opening and closing credits, column video packaging, special effects subtitle production, etc. The following are seven major employment directions for post-film majors, for reference only. You must choose what you want to do. If you can do what you like and support yourself, you will still be very happy.

First of all, the studio

The studio here is not a learning studio set up by your teacher or several students at school, but a purely commercial studio for profit. There are many such studios now, the main work content is relatively simple, and the use of AE technology is low, that is, modifying the template and then exporting the finished product. The competitive pressure is small and the threshold is low, but it is also because of low competitiveness. It can be said that anyone who knows AE casually can be competent for this kind of work, and the salary is relatively low, because the boss and customers.

Second, advertising companies.

As the name implies, advertising companies package products, and what is more powerful is to do it together with product marketing. The work flow of this company has detailed regulations and many departments. What technical department do you usually enter? Then your job is to do post-production. Usually a master will take you, or the company will let you follow someone who came in earlier than you. Before making a good advertisement, you have to come up with an idea, determine the script, shoot it and then go to post-production.

Third, the wedding company

Wedding companies are also a major employment direction of AE. A good wedding company provides integrated packaging services from wedding planning, venue layout, bride makeup, wedding dress, hotel ordering, wedding hosting, camera shooting, post-video processing and post-photography. Moreover, there is great room for the development of the wedding market, and now many previous photo studios have begun to change to this aspect. It can be said that the demand for talents is great. Then all you have to do is color the wedding video. Of course, many times we have to edit together and even make a video. It depends on the size of the company you join.

Fourth, TV stations.

Needless to say, many students in this major dream of practicing in TV stations, and a large number of them want to go in when they are working, but not every post-professional goes in to do the post-stage, so if they do the post-stage, their main job is to make news subtitles, which are the horizontal bars that usually appear at the bottom of the screen. This is also an aspect of the column package, and there are news video clips related to this. Therefore, no matter whether you do news headlines or not, this kind of general TV station is outsourced to advertising companies or their subsidiaries, and because this kind of work is relatively fixed and the technical content is similar, you can get used to it after a while.

Five, special effects company

Well, many students in the later stage of study think that working in a special effects company is king, and they can do special effects or something. So what are special effects? Let's add a text to the video, which is a special effect, and add a light, which is also a special effect. If you only stare at high-end blockbuster special effects, you will be dazzled and then go blind. At present, the domestic special effects are mostly two-dimensional special effects, which is far from the large-scale three-dimensional special effects we watch. Of course, even for two-dimensional special effects, you need to master more than AE software. As far as AE is concerned, what AE can do, the magic TV series such as Journey to the West and Xuanyuan Sword we watch, and the gun battle in the usual movies, etc. Two-dimensional special effects in TV dramas and movies can be realized through AE, which is still very promising, because we are not short of good stories. This requires your own technical level.

Six, animation company

The animation company here makes cartoons. For example, many special effects in Qin Yue, which is sought after in the past two years, are also made by AE, including the sound of AE in Happy Sunshine and Miss Puff, not to mention Japanese classic cartoons. The application of AE in cartoons is becoming more and more mature, and the requirements are also ignored by the above-mentioned special effects companies, although the two companies are doing the same thing to some extent.

Seven, the crew or film company

Now everyone is familiar with the word microfilm. Many people tell people everywhere that it is a microfilm after making a movie. In the future, everyone can make movies. If you follow the crew, you may learn not only the later stage, but also camera, lighting, recording and tuning. The same is true for film companies, but the competition between film companies is greater, and you can see room for improvement. At present, most of the later stage in China is editing, and there are many good scissorhands, but there is still a big gap in special effects. If you are lucky enough to be sent abroad to study, it is a great thing in itself.

Many software learners don't know what they can do after learning. They just fell in love with this software because they saw it in the crowd at first. I hope the above mentioned will help you clear your mind. Of course, AE alone is not enough, but no matter what software, as long as you keep the passion and hormones that you love at the first sight, you will definitely become a master.
