Whilst wishing no disrespect to wedding videographers worldwide, it's not a career I would actively encourage a school leaver to consider. I can only talk about my little knowledge of the UK production industry, but those wanting to get a foot into the door of film and television are best starting at the bottom and progressing to the top - and all that in the industry itself rather than as a 'videographer'. In honesty, it's extremely unlikely that as a wedding videographer (or working for a company that 'does' weddings) you'll be aiming to fulfil your full potential. What's the best you can achieve? Owning your own videography business perhaps? Or would you prefer to have your name in credits on the big screen?
If I had the creative talent, I know where my dreams would be! I know that with little knowledge of the industry I talk about I have no right to comment! |
