INTERVIEW with the pro..

what do i want to be?

what career will i take?

what will be my profession after i graduate?

this are just some thoughts in my mind because i am not that sure if i will be an I.T. professional.. its not that i dont want it but there is still a certain something i want more rather that being a professional in this field..

i interview a professional who is a massmedia student before graduated at a prestigous school and know a known director of several movies here in the philippines.. the interview process was just via chat because he was highly busy..

*(this is not the main words he said, some are just the ideas of the interview..)

WHAT IS THE NATURE OF YOUR JOB?
we make movies and serve the people a deluxe entertainment. as a director, walang tinuturing na pinangalingan o pinagmulan ung trabahong ito.. actually i do not treat this as a job.. i treat this as a hobby or a way to express what i truly what.. isang bagay na ginugusto.. hindi trinatrabaho.. same as other jobs or profession.. you will not survive if you will not like it or learn to like it..

*DAILY TASK
daily task is not always maintained because movies are seldom made.. but when the taping starts, 24 hours gumagalaw, di lang ako kundi lahat ng kasama sa production..

*AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITIES
as the director, ako ang nagpapanatili sa right flow ng movie.. di talaga sa akin naka focus ang lahat ng bagay pero pano nagawa ang kakaibang mga angles ng camera, mga experimentations sa mga roles and settings.. yun yun mga hinahandle ko.. syempre halos ang buong production ang linelead ko..

WHAT ARE YOUR SKILLS/INTEREST THAT MAKE YOU CHOOSE YOUR JOB?
when i was still in my schooling days, skills such as leading a group, preparing a play for a school competitions and different things that shows my interest in this field.. my interest in movie making shows as early as when i was still a child.. i always enjoying movies and plays that has unique and mysterious stories..

WHAT DO YOU LIKE AND DISLIKE ABOUT YOUR JOB?
lahat ng ayaw ko, ginugusto ko.. ganon ko kagusto yung trabaho ko.. eventhough there are a lot of challenges and difficulties, it is no match for me..

GIVEN A CHANCE, WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR JOB?
no.. never..

REFLECTION..
almost all of my blockmates inteviewed a professional in comsci, com.eng., i.t., and other related profession to our courze.. some of my friends who knew who i interviewed were shock because they dont expected that i want to be a director.. but it is alright for me that i am different to them.. all i know is.. the main reason for this activity is that to know what the career i choose will do for me.. and what will i be in the future.. eventhogh my desire for now is directing, who knows? that i may be a good IT professional in the near future..
