After graduating from journalism, I want to work in photography and video shooting. Are there any advantages?

I am a teacher in the photography department of a 2 1 1 college of journalism and communication in Nanjing, and I usually come into contact with media children. Students majoring in photography, radio and television, drama and film and television should still have certain advantages, because they have many technical courses, and their homework and final exams are mostly related to technical operation. If they are diligent and accumulate more works during their study, it is not difficult to find jobs in photography and video.

From a technical point of view, video production depends on skill and experience. Of course, there are great differences among individuals in artistic accomplishment. Some people can't make a good movie even if the technology is in place and the artistic feeling is not in place. But it can also be explored slowly in the process of learning and practice.

The curriculum of journalism is rather chaotic, and there must be many theoretical courses. Although I don't reject theory, and even like it very much, I am opposed to teaching theory to journalism undergraduates in large quantities, because it is obviously not helpful for them to find jobs. I don't think there are many courses that can make journalism girls recall how many courses are teaching real journalism. Business courses, such as photography, video recording, editing, newspaper editing, layout design, broadcast hosting, etc. , is just a course. How can practice make perfect?

Video companies attach great importance to the practical ability of candidates, hoping to work as soon as they arrive at the company, and will not spend a lot of time cultivating them. If you really plan to work in this kind of media company, you'd better do more internships at the undergraduate level. You can also shoot more small things at school and cut them for fun. The operation of the software will not be difficult, mainly to find the feeling, of course, the feeling is also based on technology.
